When some of the top leaders in business, politics, and culture met in Davos, Switzerland, in February, one of the big topics of discussion was artificial intelligence and robotics.

More citizens worldwide are moving from rural areas to cities, putting pressure on those municipalities to use data and AI to maximize their resources. With the world population set to hit 9.8 billion in 2050, food producers need to increase their outputs by 70 percent just to keep up. In this environment, technology moves so fast that businesses often discover they are the ones responsible for creating standards and ethics, because governments can't keep up.
