Should we be worried about the future of AI? The head of Microsoft AI has warned that without adequate safeguards, the development of AI could lead to the emergence of a new "silicon species" which competes with humans. This also comes as OpenAI have revealed six more incidents of unexpected or concerning behaviour by its AI models. The incidents included the models generating instructions to get around restrictions imposed on them, hiding mistakes and fabricating information. Results show that AI is doubling in its capability roughly every seven months… Are you concerned? We’re also discussing the Royal Family. A war of words has broken out between Buckingham Palace and Earl Spencer, the brother of Diana, Princess of Wales, over a controversial memoir about her life and death. This follows Harry and Meghan’s return to the UK over the summer, which prompted the Palace to clarify their status. And veteran broadcaster John Humphrys is fronting a new Channel 4 documentary called: "The Royals: Time To Go?" Do you feel the Royals are always in the news for the wrong reasons – and is it time for us to consider their future? And finally, pub names… A legendary Cardiff pub will be returning under its iconic name after eight years. The owners of Bragdy a Chegin, or Brewhouse and Kitchen, just off Cathedral Road on the outskirts of the city centre, have announced it will reopen under its old name Y Mochyn Du in the coming days. So, tell us about the best pub names you’ve come across, and the history behind them. Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110. Text 8 10 12. Be part of the nation's conversation.
