It can take dozens of back-and-forth emails just to set up a quick meeting. Now, an artificial intelligence personal assistant can do it for you. Dennis Mortensen, CEO of x.ai, explains why you shouldn’t be afraid.

Technology Versus Humanity - A Short Film By Futurist Gerd Leonhard

In science-fiction, you’ll encounter a lot of computers that can feel... HAL 9000, Deckard, WALL-E. But what about computers that can really sense your emotions? MIT Professor Rosalind Picard takes a look at this artificial-feeling future.

Computers that Know You're Mad

What is A.I. or artificial intelligence but the 'space of possible minds', argues Murray Shanahan, scientific advisor on the movie Ex Machina and Professor of Cognitive Robotics at Imperial College London.

In this special episode of the a16z Podcast brought to you on the ground from London, Shanahan -- along with journalist-turned-entrepreneur Azeem Azhar (who also curates The Exponential View newsletter on AI and more) and The Economist Deputy Editor Tom Standage (the author of several tech history books) -- we discuss the past, present, and future of A.I. ... as well as how it fits (or doesn't fit) with machine learning and deep learning.

But where are we now in the A.I. evolution? What players do we think will lead, if not win, the current race? And how should we think about issues such as ethics and automation of jobs without descending into obvious extremes? All this and more, including a surprise easter egg in Ex Machina shared by Shanahan, whose work influenced the movie.

The Digital Transformation of society, Futurist Keynote Speaker Gerd Leonhard at IVSZ Budapest

In this episode, host Brian Solis interviews Steve Snyder, CIO for the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority, about the paths he’s taken in transforming Boston’s convention center into one of the world’s most technologically sophisticated and capable exhibition and conference locations. 

Snyder details the importance of finding the right people and, just as important, creating an atmosphere where they are highly engaged, motivated, and invited to share and collaborate. They are also expected to take risks to build solutions that meet and exceed customer needs. Otherwise, says Snyder, his three conference centers are nothing more than “just big boxes.”
