Most of us that use taxi services have one core expectation – that we
will get to our intended destination just as fast as traffic allows,

Ladies and gentlemen, we’d best get ready to welcome our new robot overlords – an AI has just made it onto a company’s board of directors.

them more productive and, thereby, richer. A simple, cheap, safe, and
environmentally clean lamp, this student hopes, will ‘light up the Dark
Continent.’
