[03:00] What are inno
vation road trips? Why are these great ways to discover what's really going on at the grass roots of individual Asian tech ecosystems?

AI is coming for white-collar workers. A new report by Brookings Institution found that highly educated white-collar workers, like doctors and lawyers, could get their jobs replaced by software and AI. Algorithms can recognise patterns much better and faster than human beings, which explains why AI beat a group of seasoned doctors at diagnosing brain tumours. In this episode, we explore what the threat of AI means for the future workforce, and what is left of us as human beings. We also look at some interesting cases of robots in Asia, when they work well, and when they fail completely.
The $1 Trillion Business Travel Market and Asia. Asia is world’s biggest business travel market. A report by McKinsey & Company indicates that Asia accounts for more than a third of the US$1 trillion annual spending in the business traveler market. But are hotels keeping up with demand? A new generation of business traveler is increasingly being offered (and demanding) the flexibility for a different experience. Airbnb and companies like Metro Residences are redesigning the business travel market by offering professionals what they want. Features this week include Metro Residences Singapore, Rakuten Japan, Priceline, Agoda, Airbnb, Uber, Ebay, SalesWhale, Y-Combinator and Artificial Intelligence.
