Have we finally crossed the ‘technology pain threshold’? Are we at a point where technology is a natural and expected part of our everyday lives? Michael Blumenstein, Dean (Research) of the Science, Environment, Engineering and Technology Group at Griffith University, takes you on a journey through the future of artificial intelligence and the cutting-edge research behind the intelligence systems that are changing our lives. Are there some things that can never be replaced by a virtual counterpart? Michael is also featured in the May edition of the Griffith REVIEW.
