In this Hyperautomation interview, Acceleration Economy analyst Toni Witt speaks with David Vivancos, author, AI executive advisor, and deep learning lead at MindBigData, a dataset made up of EEG brain signals. The two discuss Vivancos' work in the field of AI and ML, the future of AI, and the difference between digitization and automation. Toni argues that machine learning (ML) tends to give rise to more jobs than it takes away. He references how the inception of the printing press gave rise to mass media production. He asks Vivancos his thoughts on the dynamic, to which he replied that he feels that we will all be jobless someday.

Today I was invited to give a KeyNote Lecture about Artificial Intelligence in the beautiful city of Zaragoza, by Javier Khunel the CEO of the main business school there, media group Heraldo and CaixaBank, to a diverse audience of business owners, entrepreneurs, c level execs, intrapreneurs and many more, at a great venue The CaixaForum building. I have been in the field for the last 21 years, and the last ones as clear advocate of AI and Deep Learning, with a company in the field, and advising Emotiv Inc the Leader in Brain Computer Interfaces about Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. So it is fair to say that I play in a field I know very well. Anyway I always get my facts and figures up to date, and to my surprise I discover an amazing fact: the father of Artificial Intelligence according to the MIT Technology Review is from my own backyard so to speak, from the country I was born Spain. He develop a machine in 1912 called "El Ajedrecista" or "The Chess Player" a very limited precursor of IBM's Deep Blue, and the first true chess computer, but by all means a pioneer (electro mechanical) work in the Artificial Intelligence field, he also build an Algebraic Formula Machine and many other mostly unknown marvels.
