Greg Ericson, CIO of Essilor of America and CEO of Optical Lab Software Solutions, discusses machine intelligence and how it will augment human decision making. As machines become more intelligent through their abilities to create, interact, share, sense, learn and act, they will serve in roles beyond just automation and may make better decisions than people in some settings. However, the legal system has not caught up to governing issues around machine intelligence globally and ethically dilemmas will emerge, especially in healthcare. Ericson recommends that companies adopt an agile approach to innovation, set aside time for employees to self-organize and innovate through hackathons, and concentrate funding on skilled leaders to identify and drive machine intelligence initiatives
