There's Been An Under-Discussion (with Natalie Haynes)
From Strong Message Here by BBC Radio 4

About this episode
Natalie Haynes joins Armando to discuss the language surrounding the AI revolution and its implications.
Natalie Haynes joins Armando to look at the differing language used when discussing the benefits and risks of the AI revolution. Is it just 'a thing' which is beyond debate? What does non-zero actually mean? And we examine the language of Tony Blair's argument, by taking it to its logical conclusion. In the longer version, you will also hear the ramification of shouting at Harold Pinter, Peter Thiel's unimpeachable jury, and whether we're all living in Armando's diving helmet.
