While many readers find my direct challenge to Einstein’s theory of relativity insightful, others quickly reject (often without examination) ideas that contradict one of their most deeply–heald convictions. Fortunately, I believe that scientists are innately curious and will examine any idea that piques his or her interest. This series is designed to do exactly that: it’s designed […]
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere. It permeates modern science fictions shows like Westworld, Black Mirror, and Humans. And who can forget HAL in the 1968 classic, 2001: A Space Odyssey? Now we fast forward to this week’s unveiling of Google Duplex, which represents a new leap in AI–Agent capabilities. Listen to the following audio clips and try to […]
My intent in this series is to provide you with interesting mathematical insights that I hope will pique your interest in specific aspects of physics. My goal is to share something novel so that when you review the foundational paper(s) in physics you will go “Hmmm?” An extremely important concept in mathematics and science is called […]
In past series, I’ve directly challenged Einstein’s theory of relativity, which many have found insightful. Unsurprisingly, others reject a direct challenge to one of their most deeply–held beliefs. This leads to the question: Is it possible for someone with such a deeply–held belief to be receptive to ideas that directly challenges their belief. Fortunately, the […]
Earlier this week, I attended an Ethics in AI (Artificial Intelligence) discussion with a group of social advocacy and technology enthusiasts. This post was originally intended to summarize issues the technology industry must overcome as it embraces and deploys services and products built using AI. However, Ethical AI cannot be adequately addressed if we don’t […]
I am happy to share that on September 29, 2017, I served as a panelist at Primitive Logic’s Strategic Trends in Financial Services discussion. During this talk (see YouTube video below), I had an opportunity to discuss several trends associated with Artificial Intelligence and explain why companies need to think about areas such as ethics […]
“A very insightful article indeed!” – Michal Kosinski Imagine going to a party, where a friend takes a picture on her mobile phone of someone entering a room. As she turns the phone for you to see the screen, you notice the tag beneath the newly taken photo indicating the man’s sexual orientation. Now imagine […]
Earlier this week I attended an interesting talk entitled Augmented Reality (AR) and the Future of Work. Held at the Nasdaq Entrepreneur Center in San Francisco, authors Robert Scoble and Shel Israel of the futurist book, The Fourth Transformation, shared their thoughts and perspective on where this exciting technology is heading. For readers who aren’t familiar with AR, here are a […]
This morning I attended a talk hosted by the Harvard Business Review and sponsored by Google, entitled “Deep Learning’s Next Frontier.” The talk took the form of an interview with Andrew Ng, one of the global leaders in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. I’m currently enrolled in his Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) course in […]
This Week In Science & Technology Episode 7 – Relativity and its Mistakes Explained In this episode, I examine specific conceptual and mathematical mistakes that not only make relativity wrong, but help to explain what Einstein did and why. One important note: If you look for mistakes in Einstein’s work beginning with his final equations, […]
