EU to ban "unacceptable" use of AI

BBC World Service - Business Matters, EU to ban "unacceptable" use of AI

Some uses of artificial intelligence would be banned in Europe under proposals unveiled

Some "unacceptable" uses of artificial intelligence would be banned in Europe under proposals unveiled on Wednesday

The European Union is set to ban what it calls "unacceptable" uses of artificial intelligence.The European Commission's rules would ban "AI systems considered a clear threat to the safety, livelihoods and rights of people" - we'll bring you all the reaction.
Also on the programme - new US laws about when drones can or cannot fly, and what could it mean for businesses hoping to cash in? 
We'll hear from the management guru urging us all to listen a bit more. And the tale of the Italian worker being paid just to turn up, for more than a decade.
The BBC's Fergus Nicoll will be joined throughout the programme from Silicon Valley by Alison van Diggelen, host of the Fresh Dialogues podcast, and from Manilla by Karen Lema -  bureau chief for the Reuters news agency.
