Today we interview Dr Benjamin Rosman of the CSIR at The University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa. We will discuss AI, robotics, machine learning and all that other neat stuff, and also how this applies to Africa as part of the developing world - and of course we can't forget the big robotic elephant in the room: the dangers of Artificial Intelligence. Will it be our doom or our salvation?
