What will business technology look like tomorrow?

IN 2014 Andrew McAfee and Erik Brynjolfsson of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology published "The Second Machine Age". The book was a balanced portrait of how new digital technologies were poised to improve society, even as they increased unemployment and depressed wages. In their latest work, "Machine, Platform, Crowd", the authors seek to explain the business implications behind these developments. Mr McAfee and Mr Brynjolfsson believe that the latest phase of computers and the internet have created three shifts in how work happens. The first is artificial intelligence (AI): a move from man to machine.
