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.
