at astonishing volume and speed
allowing for natural interaction
Reason
Has the ability to form hypotheses,
make considered arguments, and
prioritize recommendations to help
humans make better decisions
Learn

Purpose
– Augment human intelligence, rather than replace it
Transparency & Trust
– When and for what purposes is AI being applied?
– Which sources of data and expertise create an insight?
– Prevent Bias and Misuse: AI systems need to be as
transparent as possible (data sets, algorithms)
– How to embed values?
Economic Opportunity & Societal Implications
– Skills and knowledge to perform the work that
will emerge in a cognitive economy
- Fundamental transformations in the way we live and work
- Legal and governance implications of AI
Economic, Societal and Ethical questions will come to the forefront
