What is (and isn't) AI? How much further does AI need to go to reach that "human" threshold? Should we be concerned about this closing of the gap, or is there a bigger problem to keep in mind? We discuss all this and more in Educative Sessions.   ABOUT OUR GUEST   Peter Voss started out in electronics engineering, but quickly moved into software. After developing a comprehensive ERP software package, Peter took his first software company from a zero to 400-person IPO in seven years.
