Tech Weekly: Artificial intelligence and blog fury

It's the one-stop-shop for technological treats – Aleks Krotoski is joined by Charles Arthur and Jemima Kiss for another Tech Weekly.

This week our guests are artificial intelligence thinkers Ray Tallis and Igor Aleksander, who send us into philosophical overdrive contemplating our machine-dominated future.

Coming back down to earth, we discuss internet celebrity fallout and the issues that lie behind the rage that was directed at blogger Emily Gould following a warts-and-all newspaper article in the New York Times magazine.

We also bring you this week's technology news. We look at the announcement of Windows 7 and the government's proposals to close a legal loophole and make computer-generated images of child sex abuse illegal. What are the implications for things such as art and adult play in Second Life?

Plus, the website Amazing Tunes, which features music from unsigned artists, will give us a two-minute hard sell in the Elevator Pitch, and we hear your latest comments on the Guardian's blogs.
