Are we all living inside a simulation? Melvin M. Vopson, Associate Professor of Physics, University of Portsmouth has proposed a study to find out. Prominent CEOs are increasingly issuing dire warnings about AI’s impact on jobs. But who’s listening? Can lengthy timeouts curb abusive behavior on social media platforms? And its Friday and we engage in a battle of wits and morality on this week’s Great Debates!
