Digital Workplace Impact

In a world where robots are no longer just the preserve of the manufacturing line, developments in AI mean that some people find themselves being managed by a ‘roboboss’, whether they realize it or not. Could you work for a robot? Dan O’Hara, SVP Digital Workplace at Avanade, became an Uber driver in his spare time for firsthand experience. He talks to Paul Miller about what it was like to be hired, trained, directed and rewarded by a robot. Follow the discussion as they explore when an algorithm is preferable to a human, the future for robots and where that leaves us mere mortals.

Join us on the campaign trail towards hyperlocal parliaments, a true sharing economy and the surprising immediacy of the future.
