Artificial Intelligence has moved from research labs into every corner of our lives—shaping economies, transforming warfare, and raising profound questions about what it means to be human. For some, AI promises extraordinary leaps in productivity, creativity, and problem-solving. For others, it evokes fears of surveillance, disinformation, and geopolitical arms races. But beyond the hype, what actually counts as “intelligence” in these machines? Are today’s Large Language Models truly thinking, or are they just sophisticated mimics of human communication?
Professor Robert C. Berwick of MIT joins Dr. Arghya Sengupta on the latest episode of Justify. Together, they step back from the daily headlines to ask:
➤ What is intelligence?
➤ How should we understand AI in relation to human cognition?
➤ And what futures—utopian or dystopian—might emerge as states and societies navigate this frontier in the international arena?

Is Water Still a Bridge—or Becoming a Weapon?
The Indus Waters Treaty has survived wars and decades of mistrust. But with climate shocks, development pressures, and India's recent decision to keep the treaty in abeyance, the future of this historic agreement is at a crossroads.
Join Arghya Sengupta in conversation with Dr. Daniel Haines, author of Rivers Divided and Associate Professor at UCL, as they unpack:
- The origins and evolution of the IWT
- Water as a strategic tool in India–Pakistan relations
- What a reimagined water treaty could look like in an age of climate risk and regional realignment
