How artificial intelligence is being used to fight anxiety, save lives and even try and communicate with animals.

Artificial intelligence can sometimes provoke fear and anxiety. Will it take away our jobs? Will it take over the world? So it鈥檚 important to recognise some of the good things AI is being used for.

We look at how AI chatbots are helping people tackle anxiety, how AI is being used in Africa to lower infant mortality and even speak to the team using AI to try and communicate with bats.
