Artificial Intelligence - The Next Phase of Evolution?

When humans are replaced with machines, where's the place for a moral compass or is it the unpalatable truth can we trust a computer more than we can trust ourselves?

Just a few short years ago it seemed to be the stuff of science fiction novels - now, it's almost universally upon us all in at least some manner. From driverless cars to the selection of the best candidate in recruitment to deciding whether or not you're entitled to a state benefit - these are just some of the possible uses we've heard in recent times.

It's often said you can't stop progress but is there a price to be paid? When humans are replaced with machines, where's the place for a moral compass or is it the unpalatable truth can we trust a computer more than we can trust ourselves?

Nicky Cahill is in conversation with Fiona Brown, head of Artificial Intelligence at Datactics, Nell Watson machine intelligence engineer at the Singularity University in London, Tom Gray chief technology officer and director of Innovation at Kainos, and Michele Nevarez CEO of Goleman EI.
