Good AI, Bad AI, It's up to Us

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence has sparked equal amounts of excitement and concern, as well as much speculation about how it will affect our future. In this issue, IKE CEO Professor Sa’ad Medhat tells us what the technology is currently capable of and how organisations can use it for their business, and Fujitsu CEO Duncan Tait explains why it is up to us to ensure artificial intelligence benefits all of society.

We also take a look at a practical application of AI technology in healthcare, where major pharmaceutical companies have teamed up with AI-focused start-ups to create precision medicines for cancer treatments.

Staying with disruptive technologies, we look into revolutionary use cases for the Internet of Things and the new privacy concerns they have created, and hear from GlobalData why we shouldn't expect too much from the roll-out of early 5G networks.

Also in this issue, Cirrus CEO and author Dr Simon Hayward tells us how agile leadership can accelerate innovation, BASF senior principal scientist and IKE chair Dr Rosie Bryson writes about innovation in the agricultural sector, and we hear how Murphy’s Innovation Foundation is working to encourage progress in the construction industry.
