IBM CEO, Ginni Rometty has made the case that AI will be the foundation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution if intelligently used. Rometty was joined on a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland yesterday by MIT Media Lab director Joichi Ito, Healthtap CEO Ron Gutman and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella (19/01) about the future of AI. They stressed that the development of the field should be guided by the overarching principle that technology should enhance and support human capability, not replace it. The CEO of IBM, which has taken the lead in cognitive computing and developed advanced AI platform Watson, said that transparency is key in order to develop trust in emerging technologies. Soon everyone will be working with AI technologies and people will want to know how they are designed, by which experts and using which data.
