Junaid's book on this topic is out now: https://geni.us/hzX0 Subscribe for regular science videos: http://bit.ly/RiSubscRibe Computers are brilliant at totting up sums, pattern-seeking and performing computation. There's so much talk about the threat posed by intelligent machines that it sometimes seems as though we should surrender to our robot overlords now. Join Junaid Mubeen as he argues humans have the edge over machines because of a remarkable system of thought developed over the millennia – maths. He identifies seven areas of intelligence where humans can retain a crucial edge over computers. In this talk, Junaid explores a fascinating world where we can develop our uniquely human mathematical superpowers and reduce the fear of future robot overlords.
