8. Machine Intelligence 2 - The Bot Effect

During the F8 developers’ congress on 12 April 2016, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, disclosed that he was routinely using ‘bots’ – smart software applications – on Facebook Messenger. Apart from friends and family, we can now also use this platform to have conversations with artificial ‘friends’. Many people may still find it difficult to conceptualize ‘brand as a friend’, but the underlying idea is perfectly clear: Facebook aims to reap the fruits of the popularity of messaging by allowing bots to be implemented on the platform.

9. Machine Intelligence 3 - “The Frankenstein Factor - The Anatomy of Fear of AI”

This third SogetiLabs report in a series of four on the topic of Machine Intelligence, addresses the fear of Artificial Intelligence and how organizations should handle it. We are on the threshold of an extraordinary development that makes the automation heart beat faster. Recent announcements by both Facebook and tech pioneer Elon Musk to build brain interfaces are great examples. But together with the expanding possibilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI), emotions run higher and higher. A new report from SogetiLabs 'The Frankenstein Factor: the Anatomy of Fear of AI' recommends taking these emotions seriously and pleads for a therapeutic approach. A focus on IT efficiency and effectiveness should be accompanied by a focus on human existence.
