AI has been about prediction and not an explanation of these predictions. Models should be more explainable than accurate.(13:02) – Some of the new product lines for the explainability of an AI built by Google and Amazon .(17:08) – Pushing the power back to the user immediately to empower them to have decisions driven by AI. (11:53) – AI governance and ethical decision-making. If you don't have people connected to the things you're trying to predict, it's easy to miss a trend to assume that you have complete data when you do not.(20:29) – Fair AI systems: labels are generated by humans, which means they have all the failures and foibles of our current society. Pushing those into a model makes that model exactly as good as our current society or worse. (23:06) – We overestimated human enthusiasm for autonomous driving.(28:51) – Computer centralized systems are weak. If Google, Amazon and Facebok were one single company, they would have this complete idea of your life and be able to predict every moment of it and say, how much of a worthy individual you were to society.(32:35) – In NYC, people from all walks of life run into each other, touch each other accidentally. Nobody owns New York. You have the people who are gonna be affected by AI, the business knowledge and a growing tech base of folks who can implement technology. NYC could be the center of machine learning.(36:22) – Linux command line is running 99% of the servers in the world right now(38:32) – Knowledge to become tech-relevant: this is such a new industry that 10 years at school, you may have learned 5% of the industry.(43:03) – Humans and the machines. Things from an ethical perspective or a human perspective combined with technical knowledge.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Most industries do little to truly accommodate,welcome, incentivize and attract a more diverse and more heterogeneous population into tech.(04:35) – Minorities portrayed in the media are editorial selections. The seats of power, keep being in hands of white males.(05:36) – We need to think beyond traditional concerns of gender, of ethnicity. We need to start talking about neurodiversity. We need to start talking about a difference of perspective. (06:26) – Fast growing demographics are not wholly represented within technology.(08:27) – Cognitive diversity needs to be transferred over into AI startups and AI applications. (09:57) – Diversity of thinking has really contributed to each of the organizations. And that's what we need need to be able to better communicate to the rest of the field.(211:57) – Brain power and diversity of cognitive thinking is it's going to start with humans, training humans in essence, to think diversity-first.(12:35) – Artificial intelligence and machine learning has, in its current incarnation, been coded by white men “teaching the machines to do what white men do”.(15:10) – The things that make us quintessentially human; Empathy, caring, wisdom, perspective, equanimity, patience. Let machines do what machines do, and let us be left to be human.(16:27) – The lost generation 2.0.(19:09) – Multiculturalism and neurodiversity.(20:12) – HR teams do not assess technical fit, but cultural fit. People who have a diverse perspective are not going to fit into that common mold.(24:52) – The Dunning Kruger effect and the skills assessed by the Industry. (26:41) – Symbiotech means people and the machines partnering most effectively, how in an almost transhumanist perspective of how do we work symbiotically with the machines so that both end up being able to do better.(27:28) – The Great Tech Debate, a dialogue with all the great thinkers, citizenry, consumers, whose voices will be included in these conversations. (28:43) – We should talk about technology. The implications, applications, ramifications, data privacy, the petroleum problem, the economic implications of artificial intelligence and the impact that will have on jobs.(30:05) – We need to reclaim the ability to actually hear other perspectives, other attitudes, other beliefs.(32:01) – AI is not going to run a mocking and kill us all. We need to stop worrying about silly things and take that same energy and worry about climate change, how joblessness is already impacting such a large segment of the population, the economic implications of artificial intelligence.(32:22) – We need to democratize talent more. That leaves us to worry about things like immigration and writing.(35:58) – We have to stop abrogating our responsibility to the leaders of the tech companies or to the politicians.(37:01) –Every citizen needs to know how to code.
