All signs seem to indicate we are only a few years away from mass adoption and AI hitting scale. But as all this new development takes shape, few of us truly understand the implications.

Opening ideacity 2018’s conference, two thought-leaders went head to head on the future of digital technology. What lies ahead? Promise or peril? Peter Diamandis and Diane Francis debate the future of digital technology.
