Welcome! This is my first post on the new Wave of Automation
blog. There is a lot of hype surrounding
the prospects of artificial intelligence (AI) and its ability to impact our
lives. Seemingly endless amounts of time
and money are now being poured into this emerging technology, and every company
wants to be associated with the next big ‘AI’ thing; but is this all too
premature? To be sure, there has been a
great deal of buzz and hype surrounding this topic, but there is no doubt in my
mind that developments in AI, machine learning (ML), deep learning and their
respective applications to automation in both industry and our daily lives will
cause the biggest transformation the world has ever seen. We are only still just scratching the surface
of what will be possible in the years and decades ahead. Whether you believe as Elon Musk does, that
AI will bring a future threat to humanity if left unchecked, or you believe
that AI and automation will lead to our ultimate liberation, the journey is
sure to be an interesting one, inspiring great debate. With AI research and application development
accelerating at a rapid rate, every new day brings with it the potential to change
your future. So I welcome you all to
share with me in the breakthroughs, the personalities, the companies, the
ethics; the fear and the promise, on the wave of automation.
