About this episode

America has unveiled its AI Action Plan.


In a speech at the 'Winning the AI Race' summit in Washington DC, president Donald Trump said the US is going to win the artificial intelligence race.


According to The White House, the plan identifies over 90 Federal policy actions across three pillars.


Plus, Tech & Science Daily joins Adam Layer, Harbour Master from the Port of London Authority, who is warning children and their parents about the dangers of the tidal River Thames.


The Port of London Authority has produced a new safety video with the aim to prevent accidental drownings during the summer - and beyond.


Adam runs us through some of the dangers, such as the speed at which the Thames flows, and debris under the surface.


“The ​other ​thing ​is​, there ​are ​very ​complicated ​currents ​around ​the ​bridges ​in ​London. ​So ​as ​the ​water ​hits ​a ​bridge, ​it ​sort ​of ​swirls ​around, ​it ​can ​swell ​up ​and ​down, ​left ​and ​right. ​And ​if ​you ​get ​stuck ​in ​that ​current, ​you ​won't ​be ​able ​to ​overcome ​it ​, and ​you'll ​be ​going ​where ​the ​water ​​tells ​you ​that ​you're ​going.”


And we find out why walking just 7,000 steps a day is enough to boost health.
