Nell’s topic Cryptomics provides an interesting insight into the latest innovations in Machine Intelligence, Blockchain and a brand new discipline, Machine Ethics: the concurrence of these three fields could help our civilisation in finding revolutionary ways to organise our societies, to build trust between individuals and in improving the human well-being in the next decade – Nell knows how to approach this.
As of today, humanity is experiencing an enormous change influenced by technology: brick-and-mortar industries such as transportation or tourism are being reshaped to become enormous digital businesses. Furthermore, physical objects are getting dematerialised and democratised – helping humanity to gain more wealth at an ever decreasing cost. Nell presents the audience the skills necessary to have the societal, technical and business success in this century by understanding and effectively using the exponential factors and the power of them.
Day by day, machines are getting better and better at understanding the needs, the motivations and the fundamental values of humanity – providing intriguing possibilities for both the individual and the global society. As speaker Nell Watson shows, robotic counselling could democratise access to talking therapies, resulting in an improvement of the mental health of society.
Machine Intelligence is a fascinating new field which could help our society experience a revolution unseen since electrification has been introduced: throughout the talk, Nell is showing her audience the incredible influence Big Data has in the development of our economy. Furthermore, Nell also reveals how to make the most out of this crucial opportunity the future is presenting to us.
