The interface between nanotechnology and cellular biology. How can the smallest manmade machines interact with the smallest units of human life, what can we learn from this interaction, and what benefits can we derive from it? The guest is Nicholas Melosh, Associate Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Stanford University, Director of the Melosh Research Group, and also Director of the Stanford Nanofabrication Center.
An interview with Bob Zeidman, a pioneer in the field of software forensics, the science of analyzing software code to determine if it was stolen. The tools he’s developed have been used in litigation worldwide, and he’s personally served as an expert witness in over 200 court cases involving billions of dollars in claims. In addition to his work identifying stolen software, he also discusses other types of digital fraud, including identity theft. He has also written three novels, including “Good Intentions,” a satire about a dystopian future.
A discussion of string theory, a theory about the most basic units of matter and energy that could potentially change our understanding of the entire physical universe. In string theory, all matter is composed of tiny vibrating strings that exist in ten dimensions at once, and it appears to explain certain forces such as gravity better than more conventional theories. The guest is Leonard Susskind, Professor of Physics at Stanford University and Director of the Stanford Institute for Theoretical Physics.
A discussion of computer vision, the ability of machines such as robots and autonomous automobiles to visually perceive their surroundings in order to interact successfully with them. The guest is computer vision pioneer Gary Bradski, founder and CEO of the Open Source Vision Foundation, which includes the world’s most popular library of computer vision software. Gary was head of the computer vision team for Stanley, the early prototype driverless car that won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge and which is now in the Smithsonian Institution.
How mixed reality, a combination of virtual reality and augmented reality, can be used as a tool to improve society. The guest is Carl Teo, Founder and President of Ecocarrier, a Canadian telecommunications company. Carl has developed a mixed reality tool called MRESENCE, which runs on the iPhone and enables people in different locations to interact together in a mixed reality environment.
The future of online customer service, and how brands gain competitive advantage by building relationships with their customers. Businesses today must provide a good experience at every point of customer contact. One of the most important trends in customer service is the increased use of artificial intelligence, and we examine how AI is changing the customer service industry. The guest is Keith Pearce, Senior Vice President at Genesys, which provides 11,000 organizations all over the world with customer experience technology.
How artificial intelligence can be applied to healthcare by aiding in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease. The guest is Uli Chettipally, MD, MPH, emergency room physician, researcher and innovator, whose work is focused on delivering AI solutions to physicians. He is co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of the CREST Network, a research network at Kaiser Permanente that covers 21 hospitals in Northern California.
A discussion about the nature of intelligence, and how artificial intelligence compares to the human kind. The guest is Gary Bradski, a leading researcher in computer vision and machine learning. Gary is founder and CEO of OpenCV, the world’s most popular library of computer vision software. He was head of the computer vision team for Stanley, the early prototype driverless car that won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge. He founded companies that were sold to both Microsoft and Google, and is currently co-founder and chief technology officer of Arraiy.com, which makes a computer vision and deep learning production platform for the TV and movie industries.
A look at the global transformation taking place in the field of energy, as we get closer and closer to being able to produce energy that is clean, sustainable, dependable and economical. The guest is Franklin “Lynn” Orr, Professor Emeritus of Energy Resources Engineering at Stanford University and former Dean of Stanford’s School of Earth Sciences. Prof. Orr also served as Under Secretary for Science and Energy in the U.S. Energy Department.
A discussion of some of the most intriguing areas of high technology, including machine vision, deep learning, and robotics, with a man who’s an authority on all of them. Adrian Kaehler is a founder and CEO of a robotics company called Giant.AI. In 1998 he won the Gordon Bell Prize for building the world’s highest performance computer, in 2005 he won the DARPA Grand Challenge 1st place award for building the world’s first functional autonomous automobile, and he’s a founder of the Silicon Valley Deep Learning Group.
