New algorithms allow for a greater level of control in operating rooms and medical centres around the globe. Similarly, self-driving vehicles and city infrastructure will benefit immensely from advanced AI algorithms and machine learning frameworks. AI is now able to understand human emotions to some extent and has the capability to predict human behaviour. For example, some forms of AI can now tell if someone is lying or not. AI can now also be used for social good and in the future maybe even save lives and prevent crimes. Second, they allow us to predict what will happen in the future by using AI to create forecasting models that can tell us about future events or changes in trends. And finally, they help us understand how people behave and react so that we can improve our own behaviour and reactions as well as develop better customer service based on what people want and need. As AI forays into every aspect of human life, it is time for intervention by responsible actions by policymakers as well as industry stakeholders to counter its possible misuse.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the way we live in myriad ways. It influences where we travel, what we buy, read or which music we listen to--and it has a growing influence in the workplace. From marketing to strategic decision-making, to knowledge-management, AI is transforming the way we work. For this reason, it's crucial that future business leaders develop a working knowledge of how AI can play out in the office. But how exactly will AI shape the future of work?

If you were asked to say what technologies you think have had the biggest impact on shaping our world, what would your answers be? Some examples that would likely feature might include electricity, the telephone, the computer and so on. Last time I asked students this question the most common response was wifi. Back in 1995 if you wanted to surf/work/learn on the internet you'd need to be tethered to a network cable (I still see some organisations working like this today). To anyone under the age of 45 wifi is generally given the same status as any wider utility, with the speed of broadband connectivity now forming a major part of the buying decision when people look at new homes.
