your map behind you. When I was 15, I was thinking, I want to discover the world.

[00:07:08] How important do you think it is for data scientists and machine learning practitioners focus solely entirely on just math and data science, but to expose themselves to a number of different topics?

[00:09:27] Where are your ideas? Where's the blueprints? What are you creating?

[00:10:30] Why Denis got into artificial intelligence

[00:14:06] Denis talks about his fascination with world religions and how it led to his pursuit of the truth

[00:17:01] Denis has been in the game since 1978, he’s what he’s seen change and remain the same since then

[00:19:28] Where Denis thinks the field is headed in the near future – but not before he tells us why he’s always scribbling math formulas all over his books

[00:23:09] Denis’ problem solving triangle

[00:26:08] What’s the scariest application of AI going to be?

[00:33:40] What the pre-Google era was like, for all you youngins

[00:35:04] The individual must be shaped, he must be made to react, in the way that our culture wants him to

[00:38:57] We start going off on some interesting tangents

[00:40:46] How do we ensure that we are building systems that are ethical?

[00:55:31] How do you view data science machine learning? An art or purely a hard science?

[00:59:12] It is s one hundred years in the future - what do you want to be remembered for?
