Episode 1
Grayson Perry heads for California on a mission to understand how Silicon Valley's booming tech industries are likely to shape the human future. His two-part journey begins in the Bay Area where he is assisted by an increasingly chummy chatbot. He meets everyone from leading players in the industry to idealistic young start-up founders, as well as ordinary people who are adopting the latest innovations and alarmed critics of the direction AI is taking the world.
Episode 2
Grayson concludes his tour of Silicon Valley by considering the motivations of the men behind the technology, such as Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos - and how their values might be challenged. He meets a scientist working on empathetic robots which offer a more human-centric alternative to the priorities of the industry and encounters one of the key players in AI, Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark, grappling with the possibility that AI could be shaped in such a way to offer a more optimistic future.
