Hay Festival 2017: Stephen Fry's warning for the web

Stephen Fry has issued a stark warning to prepare for the internet of the future, or face the worst of science fiction's predictions. The actor and comedian was giving a lecture at the Hay Festival in Powys, when he made the claims. Fry criticised the "technophobes", including politicians, who he said had been too slow to react to developments like artificial intelligence. The annual literary event began on Thursday with increased security. Fry was delivering one of the Festival's Reformations lectures - one of a series of special lectures inspired by the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's Protestant reformation.
