What exactly is artificial intelligence? Will algorithms determine our lives in the future? How would it feel if there were devices that are smarter than humans in the near future? And are those machines truly intelligent or just fake smart? Artificial intelligence, or ‘computer intelligence’, makes our lives a lot easier. But it’s also a bit exciting because what awaits us? Bas encourages his audience to think about the possibilities and threats of increasingly capable computers.
