Gabby is putting all your questions to tech journalist and AI commentator, Lara Lewington. </p><br><p>Lara has presented and reported for the BBC’s flagship technology programme, <em>Click</em>, since 2011, and she recently made <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001k1kz" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>A Documentary: By ChatGPT</em></a> for BBC Radio 4. Lara explains some of the pitfalls of AI, as well as some of the ways we might be able to use it to our advantage when it comes to things like healthcare, drug discovery, and policing social media.
