Hannah Fry Investigates AI Stories in New BBC Two Series

AI Confidential with Hannah Fry, a three-part series investigating the impact of AI, is set to premiere on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer on February 23.

Broadcaster and mathematician Hannah Fry will meet with people whose lives have been impacted by AI in huge ways, from falling in love with an AI chatbot to life and death decisions made by robots to the people whose lives have been upended by Silicon Valley corporations.

AI Confidential is co-produced by The Open University.

The second episode of the series will air during the BBC’s AI Unpacked Week, a week full of programming examining artificial intelligence.

“AI Unpacked Week builds on the BBC’s work on educating U.K. audiences about AI and its place in society,” said Kate Phillips, chief content officer. “Across TV, radio and digital, we have a range of dedicated AI programming to inform and excite audiences about the rise of this new technology—from grief tech in EastEnders to a Panorama special on the advance of robotics to BBC Bitesize guides for teenagers. As we stand at the brink of a major technological revolution, the BBC will play a vital role in being a trusted destination for advice, insight and engagement for all audiences.”
