Singularity University invites you to their event
About this event
A few decades ago, the first computers were rare and few people could work them. Today, their descendants are as common as wallet and keys, and infinitely more useful.
But how we operate computers hasn’t evolved as fast as what we can do with them.
In Jody Medich’s last Experts on Air: Why Computer Interfaces Are Killing Us—and What to Do About It this past May, she outlined the costly disconnect between how we naturally interact with the world around us and how we interact with our devices.
Join Jody in a follow-up broadcast as she dives into the emerging ecosystem of sensors, AR/VR, robotics and exoskeletons, and artificial intelligence. These technologies will merge to bring about future machine interfaces that feel far more natural, understand our worldly context to better anticipate needs, and as a byproduct, liberate new powers like superstrength, spidey sense, precognition, and supercognition.
Note: This time we’re shaking things up with a new interview format. Expect more conversation and less presentation—and as usual, come armed with questions for Jody!
