Do we really know the potential and the pitfalls of artificial intelligence? Maybe not, say the experts and innovators at the TED conference in Vancouver.

Jane Wakefield hears from the creator of the infamous "fake Obama" videos, Dr Supasorn Suwajanakorn. And AI expert and pioneer Max Tegmark of MIT explains why we can't make any assumptions about the future, and must decide now how to navigate the problems of AI such as whether to ban autonomous weapons.

Plus we hear from Pierre Barreau about his AI music, and why computers sometimes need reminding that human musicians need to take a breath. And from the Silicon Valley high school student creating self-learning AI. Are the younger generation designing themselves out of future jobs?
