We are on the leading edge of a Smart Machine Age led by artificial intelligence that will be as transformative for us as the Industrial Revolution was for our ancestors. 

Smart machines will take over millions of jobs in manufacturing, office work, the service sector, the professions, you name it. 

Not only can they know more data and analyze it faster than any mere human, but smart machines are free of the emotional, psychological, and cultural baggage that so often mars human thinking.

To stay relevant, we have to play a different game. Our guest offers us that game plan.
