David Papineau is amongst the world’s most prominent philosophers. In this episode, I ask about his belief that we are on the brink of a moral crisis concerning artificial intelligence (AI).

David is a professor at King’s College London, having previously worked at Cambridge and City University of New York. His research focuses on the philosophy of mind, science, metaphysics and sport.
