Jimmy and Jason get together and discuss the biggest news stories of the last week. This episode's topics: Easter, Microsoft's AI Chatbot Tay, AlphaGo beating Lee Sedol in Go, Domino's new autonomous delivery robot, our idea of a robot-filled future, and lastly we discuss the initial mixed reviews of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Economic experts are trying to figure out a question that just two decades ago seemed ridiculous: If 90 percent of human jobs are replaced by robots in the next 50 years -- something now considered plausible -- is capitalism still the ideal economic system to champion? No one is certain about the answer, but the question is making everyone nervous -- and forcing people to dig deep inside themselves to discover the kind of future they want. After America beat Russia in the Cold War, most of the world generally considered capitalism to be the hands-down best system on which to base economies and democracies. For decades, few doubted capitalism's merit, which was made stronger by thriving globalization and a skyrocketing world net worth. In 1989 -- when the Berlin Wall fell -- the world had only 198 billionaires.

Increasingly flexible, responsive, sensing, even humanlike, robots are beginning to augment and replace labour in a wide range of industries: a megatrend that is transforming the economics of manufacturing and reshaping the business landscape. Already used to fight wars, remove dangerous land mines, and fill customer orders, robots can also clean, dance, and play the violin; assist with surgery and rehabilitation, bathe elderly patients, measure and deliver medication, and offer companionship; and provide disaster relief, report the news, and drive cars. In short, robots can perform quite a few of the jobs that humans currently do – often more efficiently and at a far lower cost. Because robots can sharply improve productivity and offset regional differences in labour costs and availability, they'll likely have a major impact on the competitiveness of companies and countries alike. For instance, countries with a greater number of robotic programmers and robotic infrastructure could become more attractive to manufacturers than countries with cheap labour.

Go is an ancient board game that was first played in China over 2000 years ago. While the rules of Go are relatively simple, strategy is extremely complex and games between experts can last days. Famously, there are more positions in a game of Go than there are atoms in the universe. Artificial Intelligence Due to this complexity, traditional methods of artificial intelligence (AI) have been unsuccessful at defeating human opponents. This is in contrast to chess, where a computer can relatively simply determine the "best" move by analyzing all possible downstream outcomes from any action.

McCann Erickson Japan is upping its artificial intelligence game by creating and naming the world's first artificial intelligence (AI) creative director. Named AI-CD?, the AI bot was developed through the "Creative Genome Project", one of the first projects undertaken by McCANN MILLENNIALS, an innovative taskforce that was launched last September by members of the agency's millennial generation. AI-CD? is artificial intelligence that is able to give creative direction for commercials. To develop the A.I., the MILLENNIALS team deconstructed, analysed and tagged a wide range of TV commercials, including the winners of the All Japan Radio & Television Commercial Confederation's annual CM Festival (ACC CM Festival) awards for the past 10 years. The A.I. is designed to mine the Festival's database and creatively direct the optimal commercial for any given product or message.

Smartron is headed by founder chairman Mahesh Lingareddy who is also the co-founder and CEO of Soft Machines Inc, a United Statesbased semiconductor company with operations in the US, India and Russia. It has research and development centres in Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Smartron is riding on the back of the IoT wave by innovating in the areas of smart, sensor, robotics, artificial intelligence, cloud and big data technologies to bring next generation smart devices, services and care, targeting consumer, enterprise, industrial and infrastructure markets. The company is funded by investors from the US, India and West Asia, among others.

Microsoft launched an artificial intelligence chat "bot" last week, thinking this would be a way to show off its AI programming skills. Unfortunately, within 24 hours Tay had turned from a naive young AI into a rude, anti-Semitic pro-Nazi jerk. Also: Taliban kills 76 Christians in Pakistan on Easter; LGBTQ activists upset at North Carolina; Disney, Marvel and the NFL bully Georgia; CIA-armed Syrian rebels shooting at Pentagon-armed rebels; more evidence for Planet 9; and Mexicans celebrate Easter by burning Donald Trump in effigy.

Ad agency McCann Japan has appointed an artificial intelligence creative director, AI-CD?, who will be attending McCann Worldgroup's new employee welcoming ceremony on April 1, along with 11 new college graduates. AI-CD? was actually created by the agency under its'Creative Genome Project', the first in a series of projects undertaken by the agency's'McCann Millennials taskforce'. The artificial intelligence can give creative direction on commercials because the data that forms the basis of the algorithm includes deconstructed, tagged and analysed TV shows, as well as data on the winners of the All Japan Radio & Television Commersion Confederation's CM Festival. President & CEO of McCann Japan, Yasuyuki Katagi said: "Artificial intelligence is already being used to create a wide variety of entertainment, including music, movies, and TV drama, so we're very enthusiastic about the potential of AI-CD ß for the future of ad creation. The whole company is 100 percent on board to support the development of our A.I. employee."

The BMW 7 Series is the world's first production car that can operate with no driver aboard, if only to dazzle the neighbors when it eases into your home garage. Press a button on the remote, with its palm-size LCD readout, and watch the BMW drive itself into a garage or back its way out. With its camera and ultrasonic sensors, the BMW can fit into small or stuffed garages that are too tight to allow opening the car's doors. This roboparking feature is offered only in Europe for now, but BMW is pressing U.S. regulators for approval. The car can thrill when you're behind the wheel, as I discovered on a track test at Monticello Motor Club in New York's Catskills region.
