This report by Raconteur focuses on how automation and artificial intelligence is the cornerstone of the future of work whilst aiming to empower employers and employees to see humans and machines working together.

With the digital universe doubling in size every two years - it will reach 44 trillion gigabytes by 2020, according to International Data Corporation calculations - the pressure is ratcheting up for business leaders to embrace data science.
