Episode 13: Decoding Disruption (Automation)

Today's episode we drive deeper into decoding disruption through automation and its two forms, ie. robotics and artificial intelligence. Robotics, as we know it, are machines are able to do things that humans once did. We have seen the impact of robotics on industry for several decades now for example in manufacturing and mining, but in recent times the complexity of tasks has been increasing at a rapid rate. For example think of Amazon and its capability to run an entirely robotised warehouse. Another great example of robotics and artificial intelligence is the Google Driverless Car, which uses radar and lidar combined with a very clever engine to replace a human driver. When the driverless car technology reaches the market, it will have large and deep implications at every level of society - from businesses to the social community.
