Google and IBM: We Want Artificial Intelligence to Help You, Not Replace You

In an era of maturing #artificialintelligence technology, what does the future of the corporation look like? Will the rise of robots help us do our jobs better, or harm them?

But at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women International Summit in Hong Kong on Tuesday, leaders at two of the world’s most powerful tech giants pushed back on those concerns.

But “technology always comes way ahead of policy.” #Google
