How artificial intelligence and robotics will change the future have long been the focus of science fiction. Now that the reality is beginning to catch up with what we have imagined, the nuances of these technologies and their actual potential are becoming clearer. This journey brought together Jan Van Mol of AddictLab, and S.P Mohanty, a leading thinker on AI for social good, and gave participants an experience of the current and future state of AI and robotics and an opportunity to discuss how AI and Robotics might impact on achievement of the SDGs.
