Mind as Machine

Professor Maggie Boden, pioneer in cognitive science, meets the world's leading experts in Artificial Intelligence to find out how far the technology has come and what the future holds for AI and, importantly, whether it can help psychologists and philosophers explore what the human mind really is.
