Shopify's Tech @ Scale panel says internet is not ready for long-term effects of AI and machine learning

Deep learning and artificial intelligence are set to be the next big innovations that change the way that people run their businesses. At Shopify's Tech @ Scale in Toronto -- an event that included a day full of talks exploring how developers and engineers could stay agile in a world of fast-moving technology -- one talk included expert insights on exactly how these emerging technologies would impact both businesses and their customers. "The fabric of the internet is not ready to scale for what's coming. If you think of the components we built our service on top of, the one part that is not ready to scale is security because it is the most centralized." Chris Matys, chief analytics officer at Georgian Partners, moderated a panel featuring Damian McCabe, VP of Engineering at Connected Lab; Hesham Fahmy, VP of Technology at ecobee; Inmar Givoni VP of Big Data at Kobo; and Karl Martin, co-founder and CTO of Nymi.
