Bankorus – Introducing Crypto Wealth Management
Bankorus is the first AI-powered, crypto-wealth management platform and security token marketplace built on the blockchain. Their mission is to unlock the more than $60,000,000,000,000 USD ($60T) in traditional assets held by high net worth individuals (or HNWIs) and move it into crypto. HNWI now only hold less than one-hundredth of a percent of their wealth in crypto. Powered by AI and built on the blockchain, Bankorus provides HNWIs with a full suite of safe, KYC-compliant solutions for accessing crypto. Turn traditional or illiquid assets — real estate, farmland, art, chateau, VC/PE, hedge fund, bonds,etc — into liquid digital assets through tokenization. Buy and sell digital assets on our security token marketplace. Even borrow crypto against existing assets. Bankorus is a transformational opportunity to present a lucrative new asset class — cryptocurrency — to a historically aggressive, early-adopter investor, the HNWI.

Future Imperfect – Teddy Ort, Graduate Student, MIT Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) – Self-DrivingCars: Are We There Yet?
Globally, there are approximately 3000 motor vehicle deaths per day, 90% of which are due to human error such as distracted driving or impaired driving (drugs, alcohol, sleep deprivation). With statistics like these, it's no wonder that auto manufacturers are in a race against time, and each other, to develop self-driving cars that will meet the challenges of all driving conditions. Teddy Ort, a researcher and graduate student at MIT's Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) a part of the Distributed Robotics Laboratory provides an interesting look at the future of self-driving vehicles. The MIT researcher discusses his research program's goal of developing the algorithm and artificial intelligence (AI) necessary to enable a car to avoid all motor vehicle accidents. We'll learn why self-driving cars are not available to the public quite yet. While AI may be perfectly successful within a well-established grid such as a city, it may not score as well in rural areas that are not as delineated through mapping technology. Mr. Ort provides an overview of some of the technical issues that must be overcome before self-driving vehicles rule the roads. Though it may seem sensible that these cars simply do the driving when the tech is able, then hand over the control to a human when needed, data suggests this 'passing of the reigns' is a sticky problem indeed. The MIT researcher gives an overview of the impediments to rural driving for these self-drivers, and how laser-scanning technology will provide the data necessary to read roads in much the same way a human would. And with unmarked roads comprising approximately 60% of all roads in the US, it's easy to see why camera and laser scanning technology will have to rise to the challenges of rural driving. Further, AI based technology will still have a learning curve when it comes to weather and reflective surfaces, for as a human can easily decipher that a car's image seen in a rainy road reflection is not real, AI must learn this skill. Though challenges certainly lie ahead, Teddy Ort informs us that these self-driving cars are on their way to our garages, but exactly when that day will be remains unknown.

Vic Merjanian- Titan Health & Security Technology- Augmented Reality Saving Lives
Titan Health & Security Technology is connecting people who need help with the people nearest to them who can provide it. As a result, people are receiving emergency assistance quicker and without the delays and rerouted phone calls associated with dialing "911." The Titan app allows users to receive help at the touch of a button by grabbing a user's location and sending their data to all administrators, law enforcement agencies, and other emergency responders in their area. The Titan app has successfully reduced emergency response time by 50% and has already been utilized over 62 million times over the past year and a half. In addition, the Titan app has an augmented reality feature that allows response teams to locate people who are sending emergency alerts, which has been life saving in the case of fires and floods where people are trapped and unable to escape. But that's not all: the Titan app utilizes mesh networking so that device-to-device communication can continue in the absence of a network or Wi-Fi connection. With the ability to translate content in real time, the app is also breaking down language barriers that slow emergency response time. "It's really about showing people how they can connect with other people to reduce response time and get help when they need it, because in this day and age, it's no longer a question of if you need help, it's when you're going to need help," says VicMerjanian, CEO of Titan. The app is currently designed for organizations in the education, government, and private sectors, but will become available for individuals in the near future.
