In this four-part documentary series, comedic actor Chua Enlai embarks on a zany, international exploration of artificial intelligence. He examines A.I.’s potential to become like us and how it will transform humanity such as redefining love and relationships; expanding the boundaries of creativity and intelligence; recalibrating the international balance of power; and testing the limits of ethics, morality and spirituality. Will A.I. change us for the better or for the worse?

But post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in fact hits more civilians than soldiers, and more women than men. As scientists search for an effective treatment, they’re trying to understand a question. When so many people experience the trauma of sudden loss, near-death, and violence, what makes some more vulnerable to PTSD than others?

It’s not just the bird brain ’superstars’ that deserve a re-think. From garden birds, such as starlings, to waterfowl, such as geese, we’re only just beginning to uncover the surprises to be found in the minds of birds.

Wingsuiting is probably the activity that comes the closest to realising man’s age- old desire to fly. Participants don a jumpsuit that adds surface area to their bodies, enabling a significant increase in lift, and of the control they have over their flight. As the sport is still in its infancy, safety is hard to guarantee, and statistical information is scarce, while the publicity around fatal wingsuiting accidents has led to it being labelled ‘the most dangerous sport in the world.’
