China seeks to dominate AI - a podcast by BBC World Service

US officials are warning about China's ambitions in artificial intelligence, saying that the country could come to dominate in the field, giving the country unprecedented military advantage. Chris Meserole, an AI researcher with the Brookings in Washington DC, explains the concern. Also in the programme, The social media platform Twitter amplifies tweets from right-leaning political parties and news outlets more than from the left, its own research suggests. The tech giant said it made the discovery while exploring how its algorithm recommends political content to users. Anna Kramer at tech site Protocol explains the significance of this research. Plus, the BBC's Rahul Tandon explores the future of lavish Indian weddings, after they got a lot smaller during the pandemic.

All through the show we'll be joined by Sharon Brettkelly of Radio New Zealand.
