A second series of 12 programmes 9: Matrices I
Whenever we start compiling records - our weekly incomes, weekly sales or daily expenditure -we find ourselves putting numbers in rows and columns. If we think of the numbers in the rows and columns as an array, and forget where they came from, the array takes on a life of its own. It becomes a matrix.

Better Mind the Computer
While we argue about whether they can ' think', they thrash world champions at games of skill, diagnose diseases better than a consultant, write funny stories, correct our grammar and style, and come up with new ideas that are beyond our unaided intellects. Computers designed for artificial intelligence are behaving like infant prodigies. Usually their programs are less than ten years old. What will they do when they grow up?
The human brain evolved painfully slowly. The computer has evolved through four generations in 40 years. Many of us will live to see computers a million times smarter than us. Is it likely that they will want to remain our slaves? Scientists at the frontiers of artificial intelligence research make some startling predictions. Narrator PAUL VAUGHAN
