Surviving the rise of AI machines

From Nine To Noon, 9:37 am on 5 November 2015

Could machines capable of independent thought be workplace in less than a decade?

The software developer MYOB thinks so and has published a report called 'Surviving the Singularity'. So what might that world look like? (provided we're not all subjugated by our robot overlords!)

Simon Raik-Allen is the Chief Technology Officer of MYOB and has more than 15 years of industry experience and a background in computer science.

He has worked the majority of his career based in Silicon Valley in areas such as trading exchanges, e-commerce, business intelligence, communications, banking, government, media and entertainment.

He talks to Kathryn Ryan about the rise of AI machines.
