Al-novation: Finding New Uses for Artificial Intelligence Across Industries.

As we have seen throughout history, people and indeed companies can catalyze dramatic changes through invention and innovations. They can create new fields of science that did not exist before. In doing so, new technologies can reshape cities and create unintended consequences. We are now in a different era in which the development of artificial intelligence (AI) is both being rapidly applied in many areas of science and creating ethical challenges that need to be considered. AI may autonomously suggest innovations leading to a revolution in science and health care. What follows is a provocative brief opinion that looks at the future of how new technologies are developed through AI with all its attendant challenges.
