Description

Everywhere you look across the scientific landscape, AI and big data play a vital role. But is that role good or bad? This year’s Nine Dots Prize question looked to tackle just that, and award-winning science journalist and neuroscientist Grace Huckins’ entry was deemed the most innovative. 

Grace joins us this month to discuss how AI could be changing the way science operates, and how data has transformed the field of neuroscience specifically.   

Producer and presenter: Lia Hale 

Assistant producer: Poppy Aves 

Music: Joseph Sandy
