Summary

The CEO of Anthropic says AI projects should look at slowing down amid internet security concerns. Open AI's Sam Altman, as well as Elon Musk, have agreed that companies like theirs need to pace themselves. We hear analysis from a technology professor. Also in the programme: US President Donald Trump’s support for a united Ireland prompts a mixed political reaction; and following years of battling a neurological disorder, singer Celine Dion takes to the stage once again.
