Summary

An artificial intelligence researcher who recently quit a leading AI firm has told the BBC that people working on the technology were "genuinely frightened" about its advancements and what it could mean for humanity. We'll look at whether there are increasingly urgent problems ahead for the roll-out of the technology. Also in the programme: EU leaders gather to discuss policy towards the Arctic; the Democratic Republic of Congo's government says it might have turned a corner with its Ebola epidemic; and we cover Celine Dion's comeback concert In Paris after a debilitating illness.
