II. Disrupt

3d printing house - http://3dprint.com/82322/chinese-3d-modular-homes/

Why?zero friction to move/copy

zero marginal cost

apply computation

correlation

machine learning

modeling

simulation

Solar energy

Poorest countries = sunniest countries —> how that would change political & economic scene?

In 2016 solar energy cheaper than electricity in US

III. Demonetize

IV. Democratize

Bioinformatics

Faster than Moore’s

3 components

3 mythsYou cant just sprinkle a little bit of AI

Garbage In - Garbage Out (you have to clean & shape data before using it)

Smart algorithms are not the same as human level intelligence or sentience

—> start with the problem, not AI algorithm. Framing the problem is THE important step

AI comes with tradeoffs

AI

Symbols - computer are very good at

Perceptions - just become good at

Concepts - just starting —> why? —> cant make decisions without data, need to have mechanical models about reality

Where we areVicarious —> next generation AI algorithm that passed Captcha test

Future states of cow —> AI imagination

Human brain had no upgrade for 50K years

Siri & Google Now - long way to understand our intentions & wishes

Books

Race against the machine

Kasparov - How life imitates chess

AI changes balance of power —> Radical abundance by Drexler

Abundance by Diamandis

RecommendationsCrowdsource

Utilize

Use publicly available tools

AI platforms (Google, Watson, Amazon, Microsoft)

Rethinking business processes

Notes from Q&A

What excites most? —> AI drives us to evidence based decision making

AI needs data!
