Discussion on Breakthroughs in Chess and AI
Exploration of how IBM's Deep Blue made history by defeating a Grandmaster, sparking reflections on the implications for AI progress and human intellect.
"The next wave of AI will be able to augment people to become superhuman. Solutions will be at the ready for nearly all problems facing humanity." ~Alex Bates
Habits2Goals presents a powerful interview with Alex Bates, a phenomenal entrepreneur, inventor and bestselling author of Augmented Mind: AI Superhumans and the Next Economic Revolution.
When Alex was growing up in Portland, battling for computer time with his siblings, he developed an obsession with the emerging Internet and artificial neural networks.
Alex, fascinated by entrepreneurship, took his interest in AI and machine learning and in 2006 founded Mtelligence to harness the deluge of sensor data in the industrial IoT with the mission of creating a "world that doesn't break down."
After spending a decade on the front lines of the AI revolution, Alex discovered the one key ingredient that was missing from mainstream AI research — humans!
His new book explains how augmenting humans, combining human intuition and artificial intelligence, will herald an unprecedented era of productivity and financial success.
Listen in for an absolutely fascinating discussion of how human-centered AI will help us solve the biggest problems facing humanity while also protecting us from rogue or weaponized AI systems.
Enjoy the show!
