The year is 2018. The year of the rise of the machines.

But on a positive note, our artificially intelligent assistant knows our favourite playlist and tells us the weather.

In this week's episode the team discusses the ethics, virtues and pitfalls of our dependency on AI, from the convenience aspect to the cancer-like grip it has on the modern world.

We tackle the big questions like which people will robots prefer to kill and other hilarious dystopian scenarios.

Lots of fun for all.
