ARX Maritime: Could Artificial Intelligence Replace Actual Intelligence?

ARX Maritime, Chief Executive, Josh Hutchinson looks at how artificial intelligence is impacting the maritime industry and questions whether one day, artificial intelligence could take over from human intelligence completely. There is a "D" word in the maritime industry that won't be going away any time soon. It's the process of questioning existing methods and practices to make them more efficient with the use of digital technology. Although it's often associated with futuristic ideals, digitalisation is nothing new, the term has been around since the late 1950s, starting with digital computers and digital record keeping. Since then, we've accepted and embraced it, and have become steadily more dependent on it.
