Robot revolution pits man against machine
The era of artificial intelligence marks the start of a fifth industrial revolution, University of Newcastle Professor Duncan McDuie-Ra says. The rapid pace of change in the convergence of humans with technology means the future is now upon us. But the robot revolution as we know it is merely "the tip of the iceberg". "It's hard to pin down with any precision how big the iceberg will become," the professor of urban sociology said. It's clear, however, that robots and machines will take over more and more functions once reserved for humans.
