AI Humanoids or Advanced Humans? - Issue #426

We don’t know if our future will be dominated by humans enhanced by AI, or by AI robots.

July 27, 2023

This number of FinTech Weekly tries to analyze the possible future outcomes of AI by looking at what companies are currently doing. Among robots that serve as members of customer service teams, companies that create digital passports to distinguish between humans and robots, and tech giants that rethink their entire businesses to cope with the progress of technology, it is hard to assess what the future holds. One thing is for sure: we need to rethink our own intelligence as humans and enhance our critical thinking not only to keep our jobs but also to live in a world that changes fast. This and much more in this number of FinTech Weekly: follow us on LinkedIn to stay ahead of the competition and discover top fintech news and events.
