The Edge interview with Kai-Fu Lee is very good. He is one of the original A.I. researchers and has worked in the industry for most of the big name technology companies.
He discusses the history of A.I., the current situation involving Deep Learning, and goes on to talk about the future."We're all going to face a very challenging next fifteen or twenty years, when half of the jobs are going to be replaced by machines. Humans have never seen this scale of massive job decimation."
He talks about areas that will see a lot of growth in the immediate future. Micro-payments, the Internet of Things, social networks delivering profiles that will trade privacy for convenience.
He talks about the Haves and the Have Nots: "The people who are inventing these AI algorithms, building AI companies, they will become the haves. The people whose jobs are replaced will be the have nots. And the gap between them, whether it's in wealth or power, will be dramatic, and will be perhaps the largest that mankind has ever experienced."
He also talks about a growing inequality amoung countries: "Lastly, and perhaps most difficult to solve, is the gap between countries. The countries that have AI technology will be much better off. They'll be creating and extracting value. The countries that have large populations of users whose data is gathered and iterated through the AI algorithm, they'll be in good shape."
