Danny in the Valley is CNN Tech's weekly dispatch from behind the scenes and inside the minds of the top people in tech. This week Danny talks about artificial intelligence with Matt Welsh, founder of a startup called fixie.ai. He predicts that software engineering will soon be replaced by machines 10,000 times cheaper than human engineers. The 12 cent engineer isn't just pulled out of thin air but he does have credibility.
