How global thinking on AI is shaping the world, from Berlin, Brussels, London and beyond. NEWS ABOUT POLITICO'S AI COVERAGE: Your AI: Decoded newsletter will be taking a break from this week as we refocus on core policy issues, but we are not giving up our coverage of artificial intelligence. On the contrary, we will intensify reporting on major political and policy debates on AI via news stories and events accessible to POLITICO readers around the world while covering the deeper policy stories as usual for our POLITICO Pro subscribers. As we prepare future coverage on emerging technologies including AI, I'd like to thank Melissa Heikkilä for her remarkable coverage on everything from algorithmic bias to neural networks and the politics behind large language models. In the meantime, please tune in on April 21 for our AI & Tech Summit to follow high-level interviews with top AI newsmakers, don't miss our upcoming Tech 28 ranking of the most influential players in technology on May 18 and subscribe to Mark Scott's free Digital Bridge newsletter here.

Westworld season 4 was confirmed a couple of weeks before the season 3 finale aired in May 2020, suggesting that HBO still has plenty of faith in its big-budget sci-fi drama. "From the western theme park to the technocratic metropolis of the near future, we've thoroughly enjoyed every twist and turn from the minds of master storytellers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy," said president of HBO programming, Casey Bloys in a company statement. "We can't wait to see where their inspired vision takes us next." Showrunners Nolan and Joy are back to continue their epic tale – based on the 1973 movie directed by Jurassic Park author Michael Crichton – and, going on past form, it's probably best to expect the unexpected. In its third year, the drama took a hard turn away from the android theme park setting at the heart of the first two seasons, spending most of its time in the human world.

Ben Burgis is the author of more than a dozen fantasy and science fiction stories. In "Smokestacks Like the Arms of Gods," workers at a magical factory lay down their tools to fight for better working conditions. "The title comes from Bruce Springsteen's song'Youngstown,' where there's a line in there about'smokestacks rising up like the arms of God,'" Burgis says in Episode 510 of the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy podcast. "The story is essentially a fantasy world remix of something roughly along the lines of the big sit-down strikes that built the CIO unions in the 1930s." The story draws on Burgis' family history.

Turing never returned to the National Physical Laboratory after his research leave. Instead, in May 1948, he joined his friend Newman's Computing Machine Laboratory at the University of Manchester, where shortly afterwards the world's first electronic stored-program general-purpose digital computer, the Small-Scale Experimental Machine (commonly known as the Manchester Baby), ran its first program. Turing spent most of the remaining six years of his life continuing his research on AI. After completing the programming system of the expanded Manchester Mark I machine and the subsequent Ferranti Mark I, the world's first commercially available modern computer (manufactured by Ferranti Ltd), in early 1951 Turing began experimenting on the Ferranti. The early results of his computational modelling of biological growth were published in the paper'The Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis' (1952), which represented an important early contribution to research on artificial life.
