Prof Dame Diane Coyle appears on BBC Radio's The Artificial Human to discuss the consequences of the anticipated financial bubble bursting, and would a crash stop there?
There’s growing uncertainty about whether the AI industry can make enough money to justify the huge investments, with many experts calling 2026 a make-or-break year.
Professor Dame Diane Coyle (Bennett School of Public Policy) explores what a potential AI bubble burst could mean—and whether the fallout would extend beyond AI—in an episode of BBC Radio 4’s The Artificial Human.
She joins hosts Aleks Krotoski (BBC) and Kevin Fong (BBC), and fellow guests Nathanael Benjamin (Bank of England) and Jerry Kaplan (Stanford University) or a wide-ranging discussion on risk, resilience, and what comes next.
Diane is the Bennett School’s Director of Research and Programme Director for the MPhil in Digital Policy—starting in September 2026.
