Robots - just replacing workers? Or humans too?

I am delighted to invite you to the next exclusive lunch seminar the Delphi Network is organizing for Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. Join us for a critical discussion on the evolving role of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in society and the economy.

Hiroaki Kitano, CEO of Sony Computer Science Laboratories and inventor of Aibo, will address the technological shift from humanoid devices to AI as the core essence of robotics. He will discuss how companies leveraging Big Data and the Internet of Things are becoming the new powerhouses in development.
