AI and Cognitive computing right now is little more than a minor nuisance if your laptop crashes or gets hacked. It becomes all the more important that an AI system does what you want it to do if it controls your car, your fight path, your pacemaker, your automated trading system or your power grid. Another challenge is the long term impact, what will happen if the quest for strong AI succeeds and an AI system becomes better than humans at all cognitive tasks. Such a system in the future could potentially undergo recursive self-improvement, triggering an intelligence explosion leaving human intellect far behind.

In this exciting discussion as part of London Technology Week 2017 we will examining the future potential of both AI and Cognitive Computing and how its potential can be a force for positive transformation
