In the seventh episode of the FutureFest podcast we return to our Future Machines theme.

Jon Ronson recalls his various conversations with sentient robots (and their programmers), UCL’s Leo Cohen considers a world where we outsource our decision making to artificial intelligence and retail futures expert Eva Pascoe argues the need for a return to Renaissance attitudes to art and technology in order to take charge of our digital future.
