The Tech Disruption: When will it strike,  and who are the pioneers and radicals driving the change?

With the world’s largest and most influential social media channels editing who gets to speak, what does the future hold? Alongside the burgeoning powers of big tech another quiet revolution is emerging. The dawn of augmented intelligence is upon us, with a new kind of partnership between humans and machines focused on the immense value of “trainable” artificial intelligence (AI). Gartner believes this will create up to $2.9 trillion of business value and 6.2 billion hours of worker productivity globally by 2021. Across the world, businesses, governments and the public at large are already having to adapt to the rapid development of AI-powered technologies.

In this age of great global disruption and evolution, what role do technology companies have to play? Which organizations are getting it right? What new and old problems can AI solve? What business decisions can AI help to augment? Who are today’s AI pioneers and how are they creating tomorrow’s solutions? What should we expect from the next decade?
