Hyped. Misunderstood. Scare-mongering. All three come to mind when we think of Artificial Intelligence. But this this may be the first moment in AI’s history when a majority of experts agree the technology has practical value – and far more than robotic process automation. As recently as 2000, the most proficient AI system was roughly comparable, in complexity, to the brain of a worm!

Adam Marshall, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), told a London Business School audience that Brexit could motivate established UK businesses used to a steady turnover to reassess their business models. “Most of them don’t have huge growth or profit aspirations,” he said. “It hurts right now but disruption might be good for many businesses over the long term because it will force them to become better.” Marshall was speaking at a panel debate chaired by Linda Yueh, Adjunct Professor of Economics at London Business School.
