Holding the line between people and algorithms

Add BT as a preferred source
ARTIFICIAL intelligence (AI) is becoming deeply embedded in our lives as it becomes more efficient, affordable and accessible. The workforce of the future will be a combination of people, intelligent agents and robots.
Fuelled by market capitalism and the quest for strong productivity gains, AI’s growth, development and influence will be amplified. This convergence of technology and capitalism, or “technological capitalism”, is fuelling record investments and usage.
But is the line between people and algorithms blurring, and should we be concerned? Will humanity become soulless if this distinction no longer exists? The issues posed by AI are novel and yet familiar. How we use these technologies will matter immensely.
