The big debate: Artificial Intelligence - Digital Catapult Centre

We recently held a heated debate at Digital Catapult; would Artificial Intelligence increase the number of jobs? In this blog post, Peter Karney, Head of Product Innovation and Darren Murphy, Digital Communities Manager, go head to head* to explore the big questions surrounding AI. Peter: AI can certainly reduce or eliminate menial activities. One example is a call centre. Currently if you need advice you'll speak to a human being; it's expensive and can be a complete waste of time. But you can put an AI system in that can learn, figure out what you're saying, and do context searches.
