With AI, Answers Are Cheap, But Questions Are The Future
We’re getting reliable, instant answers from machines thanks to advancements in artificial intelligence. But if knowledge is growing exponentially because of scientific tools, then we should be running out of puzzles. Instead we keep discovering greater unknowns. In the future, questions will be more valuable than answers. Author and Wired’s “Senior Maverick” Kevin Kelly predicts our biggest questions are yet to come.

Developing The Perfect ‘Imperfect’ AI System
In terms of algorithms and techniques, we’re still in the infancy of artificial intelligence. And even in the future, A.I. systems will need humans just as much as humans need A.I., writes Head of Machine Learning at Carnegie Mellon University.
Humanity needs artificial intelligence systems that act more like companions than superheroes. In the future, AI systems will need humans just as much as humans need AI.

Robots Are Coming To The Cubicle
Robotic process automation will soon aid workers not just in factories but in cubicles. Whether it’s making a PowerPoint deck or on-boarding a client, automation opportunities through artificial intelligence can streamline time-intensive, repeatable tasks, writes Ravnit Kohli, senior director with Synechron. But office workers aren’t going away anytime soon.
The Future of Work
Automation Isn't The End Of The World -- Here's Why
Robots probably will take our jobs. That doesn’t have to be bad news, writes Leonardo Quattrucci, policy assistant to the Head of the European Commission's European Political Strategy Centre. The future of work is about more than just automation. Machines push us to specialize in our competitive advantages, which would ideally push us toward a more connected and equitable economy.

AI Could Free People From Work – If We Let It
What would a future without work look like? It may be closer than you think. Artificial intelligence is redefining work as we know it. First there was outsourcing. Next up is "othersourcing." Here are three signs we are moving toward a "post-work" future.

Paranoid Android? Say Hello To The Augmented Age
One of the best things about artificial intelligence systems is that once one learns an area of expertise, they all know it through networked learning. With intelligence augmentation, consumers won't have to leave reviews on products on Amazon anymore. Connected products will review themselves through data to inform not only other customers but the engineers who made them.

Will Smart Machines Be Less Biased Than Humans?
Some critics fearful of biased outcomes due to artificial intelligence software argue for transparency. That's not the answer, argues Robert Atkinson, founder and president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation. In most cases, smart machines will be less biased than humans, he says.
