Unlock Your Potential with Jeff Lerner AI Expert Explains Why You Need To Rethink Objectives | KENNETH STANLEY #277
Meet Kenneth Stanley, an artificial intelligence expert, author, former professor of computer science at the University of Central Florida, and creator of Maven, a new social network designed to help you discover new interests and connect with like-minded individuals.
At the beginning of the episode, Kenneth takes us on a journey through his early years in artificial intelligence, recounting the challenges of figuring out how computers could act like a person.
Halfway through the episode, we delve into the idea that sometimes setting an objective is bad for you. Kenneth's perspective offers a unique take on achieving greatness, especially if you’re trying to be creative or innovative.
Near the end of the episode, Kenneth introduces Maven, a social network that disrupts the traditional online experience by eliminating addictive elements like likes and followers. Would you try a social network like this?
I hope you enjoy this episode, and helps you reflect on your life objectives and reconsider your approach to it.
