AI can transform the medicinal industry - Information Age

Last month both the UK and US governments published reports on how artificial intelligence (AI) and automation will impact society in the coming years. It was landmark moment, thrusting AI into national and political conversations. At the same time Stephen Hawking, the renowned theoretical physicist, called AI the greatest threat in human history. While the government reports acknowledge a danger – mainly surrounding job loss and ethical issues – it is not the Skynet scenario Hawking implied with his speech. However, both he and the government reports believe AI and automation, if monitored closely, will transform not only business operations but the world as we know it.
