From Next Talk description: Most digital businesses concentrate on storage and logistics – of data, information and physical goods. But a new wave of startup´s is emerging with exponential power. Businesses which focus on human-brain-like processing of information. Artificially superintelligent services for the masses, which will make our lives easier. Reducing the overall cognitive load of our day-to-day lives, we will not even recognize those services, but they will take better and much wiser decisions on our behalf. Based on better and faster information processing and on understanding of context, those services are all about what and who we are as individuals and societies. Sounds like science fiction? Yeah. But Aleksandar will give us an breathtaking overview of the most exciting emerging “Digital Brain” business models. Expect some fun, a good dose of innovation-phobia and a load of hot discussion afterwards…

4. Now.
Digital Brain.
Yeah.
That´s Artificial Intelligence.
But what does „intelligent“ mean!?

6. „The difference between intelligence and
stupidity is that intelligence has its limits.“
Albert Einstein

7. „Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change“
Stephen Hawkins

8. „I know that I am intelligent because I
know that I know nothing.“
Sokrates

9. That´s really a lot
of noise...
...but it is probably less complicated
than we want to belive and accept.

10. Hello Brain!
Hello Jelly Fish!

processes in our heads

17. Well. Our brains
are not so different.
There are just billions of such rules
embedded. And we are able to learn
more of such rules.
But then sometimes, the rules are
confusing and contradicting.

18. Conciousness is a by-product.
It emerges as an „intelligent“
solution to solve rule-conflicts.

19. What?!?!

20. Above. Below.
While you drive along in your
car, your brain and body is in
autopilot-mode. There is not so
much use for conciousness.
Until...

21. In a nutshell.
When you drive along with your
car, there is not that much use for
conciousness. That changes
when a bird crashes into your
windwow!

22. The vast majority of all
processes within the human
brain take place without us
taking any notice of it.

23. Big Data Monster.
Are we. You and me!
„You and I are streaming data engines“
Jeff Hawkins
Emotional
Computing.
• Lügen
• Freuen
• Verachten
• Ärgern
• Überraschen

24. If this. Then that.
Or that. But that not. Only
in case of that being this,
then that. Or not?
Patterns. Context. Rules.
Solving of conflicts. Yeah!!!

31. Approaching human limits. Today.
Too much data. Too many options.
Too many conflicts.

32. The paradox of
choice
Professor Barry Schwartz
Social Theory & Action, Swarthmore & Oxford

33. FIVE OPTIONS ARE THE HUMAN LIMIT
MORE OPTIONS = MORE UNCERTAINTY = LESS DECISION
QUOTED FROM BARRY SCHWARTZ / THE PARADOX OF CHOICE: WHY MORE IS LESS
HARPER PERENNIAL PUBLISHING 2005 - ISBN 978-0060005696

34. HIGH CERTAINTY / LOW CONFUSION
2 3 4 6 7 8 9 N
LOW CERTAINTY / HIGH CONFUSION
NUMBER
OF OPTIONS
OH NO!
FROM THIS POINT ON, YOU ARE
UNABLE TO CHOOSE

What kind of sensors could we
attach to a digital brain?
Today.
