"There is a safety concern, especially with humanoid robots - at least a car can't chase you into a building or up a tree," he told the audience.

It's not every day you see the prime minister of a country interviewing a businessman like this, but Mr Sunak seemed happy to play host to his famous guest.

And if he seemed like he was enjoying it, it should be no surprise - he previously lived in California, home to Silicon Valley, and his love of all things tech is well-documented.

Either way, both men hope to have a say in whatever our AI future has in store for us.
