I think its a major issue. Machines are more efficient,don't need breaks,sick days,pensions...do you think its a threat in your industry or could be one in the near future?

Good read, those Narrative Science algorithms sound amazing. I'd like to see a sample of what they can produce.

Have a look at this. http://nlp-addiction.com/chatbot/eliza/ Now imagine it better.

If you meant HFT,they use a blackbox approach.They incorporate a news reader into the system which reads news,other information and trades before we can even click one link!

With unemployment so high in Kenya among the youth,the government should start focusing on empowering them to be able to change with the times. It also creates an opportunity for them because although technological unemployment is caused by technology,it still needs human input.The good thing is these new jobs won't need experience as much because they are just that,new. It will also help them to stop playing the catch up game with people more experienced than them and meet them at the next stage well armed and prepared.

Tried Eliza but it was very basic, I think Google Now and Siri are much more advanced. Cheers for the other links.

I'm sure a majority of you are familiar with LinkedIn. They have a great tool that can help you with your skills and you don't have to be a member to use it.It is still in the developing but its a great resource.

If I can help in any way,don't be afraid to ask.
