Podcast: Piers Morgan Uncensored

Description: From the Doomsday Clock inching closer to midnight to fears over nuclear war, chemical weapons, artificial intelligence and escalating conflicts across Europe and the Middle East, the possibility of global catastrophe has returned to the centre of public debate. After decades of relative peace and rising prosperity, the world is facing its highest number of armed conflicts since the end of the Second World War. Nuclear powers are testing old boundaries, new technologies are creating unprecedented risks, and even the people developing AI are warning about its potential dangers. So how close is the world to disaster - and what could actually trigger it? Piers Morgan is joined by game theorist known as 'Professor Jiang', Jiang Xueqin, author of the new book ‘Biological War: A Scenario’, Annie Jacobsen, and historian & professor of strategic studies, Phillips O’Brien, to discuss. After all the talk of apocalypse and global catastrophe, Piers then interviews viral sensation Tori Cannarelli, the owner of Barley, a golden retriever struggling with depression, and Louis - a duck who has become his constant companion and helped him back to his old self.
