In April 2019, I served as moderator for a panel discussion on Artificial Intelligence. The 90-minute conversation covered a wide range of topics: beginning with an introduction of key ideas and terms associated with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. This was followed by a discussion of challenges in AI: including model (or solution) bias and […]
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 […]
[Updated Aug.17.2017 with additional links to articles discussing diversity and AI.] I attend a discussion at the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center in San Francisco entitled: A Discussion on AI and Government Regulation. With over 100 people in attendance, the speakers included: Tom Kalil, Senior Advisor, Eric and Wendy Schmidt Group; Lisa Hawke, Director of Policy and […]
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, […]
This Week In Science & Technology Episode 6 – Modern Mechanics’ Key Equations In this episode, I develop the key Modern Mechanics key equations that show that Modern Mechanics explains the same things as classical mechanics. These equations will also form the foundation for understanding Einstein’s theory of relativity. –––– Steven B. Bryant is a […]
This Week In Science & Technology Episode 5 – Introduction to Modern Mechanics (Key Concepts) I begin to introduce Modern Mechanics, which is a unified theory of motion. Ideally it explains what previously required classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and relativity. –––– Steven B. Bryant is a futurist, researcher, and author who investigates the innovative application and […]
This Week In Science & Technology Episode 4 – Relativity Fails To Explain A Key Experiment I revisit the Michelson–Morley experiment to reveal a subtle, but significant mistake in their experiment. The original analysis does not statistically support an answer that aligns with any known theory – including relativity. Once their experiment is properly analyzed […]
