We hear about warnings that the race to develop AI systems is out of control

We hear about warnings that the race to develop AI systems is out of control.

Some of the biggest names in global technology have called for the development of advanced Artificial intelligence to be paused until there's confidence that the risks are manageable. Elon Musk is among the signatories to a letter warning that recent advances present "profound risks to society". We bring together three people, in Ukraine, the UK and Israel, who all work in AI to discuss the concerns raised in the letter.

We continue to hear from LGBTQ people in Uganda after the parliament there passed a new bil that could lead to life in prison for homosexual activities.

Outrage is growing in Mexico following a fire at a migrant centre in Ciudad Juárez that killed 38 migrants. We speak to our colleague from BBC Mundo. 

Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow is being sued by a retired eye doctor, after a 2016 collision on a ski slope in Utah. We have the latest from our reporter who is covering the trial.

We get reaction from residents in Amsterdam about a digital campaign the city has launched to discourage young Brits from travelling there.
