#66–Artificial Intelligence and the Future of the Internet, with Annie Hardy

by

“We are all now connected to the internet, like neurons in a giant brain.”–Stephen Hawking

Unless you are living in a remote cabin completely off-grid, it has reached the point where you cannot avoid artificial intelligence. It’s in our search engines, it’s on our phones, it’s on the social media on our phones. It’s permeating the internet at a breakneck pace.

Annie Hardy, a fellow member of the Association of Professional Futurists and a senior visioneer at Cisco Systems, spends most of her working hours assessing the future of artificial intelligence and the internet. She joins me in this episode of Seeking Delphi, for an in depth look at where it’s headed.

#64–Disrupt With Impact, with Roger Spitz

by

“Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.”–variously attributed

The above quote dates from the late 19th century. A 21st century version might well be, “everybody talks about disruption, but can anybody do anything about it?”

One person who has strong ideas on what to do about it is Roger Spitz. He is a former M&A investment banker and current venture capitalist and advisor to the World Economic Forum’s Global Foresight Network. He is also a fellow member of the Association of Professional Futurists. His new book Disrupt with Impact, Achieve Business Success in an Unpredictable World, provides a roadmap for doing such.

#60–Investing in AI and AI in Investing, with Jim Lee

by

“Anyone who thinks there is safety in numbers hasn’t looked at the stock market.”–Irene Peter

Nowhere do we hear more about artificial intelligence than in the world of investing. Nvidia and other major AI-related stocks are in the news every day.  Is AI over-bought and due for a correction?  Perhaps at the peak of Gartner Hype Cycle?  Beyond that, how much is AI being used to make investments, particularly by institutions?

One person I know who is well qualified to answer those questions is financial futurist Jim Lee.  He is a fellow member of The Association of Professional Futurists and alum of the University of Houston graduate foresight program.  He also happens to manage $100 million in assets for Stratfi (Strategic Foresight Investments, LLC)

#57: Update on Fuel Cells and Hydrogen with William F. Smith

by

“So I submit to my colleagues here today that hydrogen is not as far away as we think it is.“–Bob Inglis

In February of 2017, Seeking Delphi™ featured Infinity Fuel Cell and Hydrogen, Inc.™ founder and CEO Bill Smith, in an episode entitled What Ever Happend to Fuel Cells.

Not much was happening in early 2017. The market for hydrogen fuel cells, and hydrogen in any form for that matter, had been stagnant for for over a decade.

Five years later, boy has it turned. Hardly a day goes by without reading something in the news about hydrogen and hydrogen fuel cells. From mega green hydrogen grid storage projects, to long haul trucks–and even hydrogen power underwater and in space–the hits just keep on coming.

In this episode, Bill joins me again to discuss what has changed since he last spoke with us and–most importantly–where it’s is all headed.

Disclaimer: I joined Infinity as director of corporate communication in June of this year.

#56: Space Mining with Daniel Sax

by

“Mining asteroids will ultimately benefit humanity on and off the Earth in a multitude of ways.”- Peter Diamandis

Peter Diamandis might be right, but asteroid mining is probably not imminent–at least not in the way that lunar mining is.

With both the NASA and the Chinese National Space Agency having designs on establishing permanent lunar bases within the next 5 to 10 years, mining on the moon will be a necessity. It’s just too expensive to supply all the needed resources to maintain the outposts from earth.

Daniel Sax is the cofounder and CEO of the Canadian Space Mining Corporation. His route to that post is, in itself, a fascinating tale. In this episode of Seeking Delphi,™ he explains both his personal journey and that of the company.

#55: The Longevity Dialogs Part 3, The Science and Technology of Growing Young with Sergey Young

by

“We have created science and technology to extend our life, but we haven’t created life we want to extend.”–Sergey Young, Seeking Delphi™ episode #55, explaining why he believes more people do not support radical life extension.

http://www.andertoons.com

Few individuals have done more, from an advocacy standpoint, to promote breakthroughs in human longevity, than Sergey Young. Seeking Delphi™ returns with a fascinating interview with Sergey on the occasion of the release of his new book, The Science and Technology of Growing Young. The book provides a comprehensive overview of where longevity research is now, where it could be going in the future, and what you can do, in the meantime, to get the most health and vigor out of your own life. We also discuss the current state of the soon to be announced longevity XPrize.
