Tech Talks with Karim Kanji: Warwick Business School professor Mark Skilton

On March 22, Microsoft Canada held a conference in Toronto called Future Now,” aimed at teaching companies how they could benefit from artificial intelligence (AI).

While attending, I had the opportunity to sit down and speak with Professor Mark Skilton who teaches Information Systems Management at Warwick Business School in the UK.

Professor Skilton recently published his third book, The 4th Industrial Revolution, which aims to help business leaders navigate the impact Artificial Intelligence and other new technologies are having on the business world.

This is a second in a series of interviews conducted at the Microsoft Canada “Future Now” conference in Toronto last month. The first was a podcast exclusive with Mohamed Musbah, the co-founder and former vice president of Canadian AI start up Maluuba, which was acquired by Microsoft in 2017 Microsoft Research in Montreal.
