Europe is awash with talent and technology in the AI space. Here are 10 European start-ups to watch in 2019. There is a growing belief that the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution could be even more profound than the internet revolution. While the technology is often characterised as a threat to traditional job security, if you look closely at this crop of European start-ups, their use of AI is about improving outcomes in everything from health and safety to better communications and creativity. In other words, AI as a subject is very broad with a myriad of uses, and therefore could be put to work to augment human capabilities or solve big world problems.

"Are robots actually becoming intelligent?" "Is my job under threat from intelligent machines?" "How close are Google, Amazon and Apple to giving me a real assistant?" "Is Elon Musk right that machines are going to wake up and start killing us?" These are the practical questions that dominate today's discussions around artificial intelligence.
