    Inside an elite Ukrainian drone unit_ a special report _ The Economist Podcast

    What goes on inside an elite Ukrainian drone unit? How do its soldiers wage the battles of today while simultaneously building the weapons of tomorrow? Join Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Economist's editor-in-chief, as she visits one of Ukraine's most lethal drone units, the first foreign journalists to do so. She asks the people at the heart of the country's war machine how it operates, what it takes to keep up with the relentless need to innovate and what advice—and warnings—they have for the West.

    The full-length interview with Yuval Noah Harari _ The Economist Podcast

    Yuval Noah Harari is a big-ideas guy. He's known for writing best-selling books that tackle broad sweeps of history. Harari's most popular book "Sapiens" has sold 25m copies worldwide. But the historian-cum-philosopher has now turned his attention to AI, which he says is the "biggest psychological and social experiment in human history". Harari sat down with Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Economist's editor-in-chief, to discuss why he believes AI will come to control civilisation—and what it might mean to be human in that world.

    The full-length interview with Elon Musk _ The Economist Podcast

    Elon Musk may be the most powerful man in the world. He's worth almost $1trn, runs Tesla and SpaceX, boasts an enormous social-media following and, to top it all off, he reckons he's pretty good at predicting the future, too. In his first extended interview since SpaceX's blockbuster IPO, Elon Musk sat down with Zanny Minton Beddoes, The Economist's editor-in-chief, at his Texas Gigafactory to talk about what he thinks this future holds. They discuss the timeline for AI overtaking human intelligence, the rapid progress of China, the reasons for his interest in Europe and why he thinks he "got a little too involved" in politics.
