4. Game Theory: The birth of
predictive intelligence
• game theory analyzes what should happen
given what players desire. Spaniel, William (2011-07-18). Game Theory 101: The
Basics (Kindle Location 82). . Kindle Edition.
• Game theory informs us of the most likely
outcome of an individual or collectives actions
through the measured analysis of variance
• The Payoff? Systematic intelligence engines
that can predict likeliest outcomes of any
scenario

5. Game Design: The implementation
of the system
• Game Design
typically begins
with the
modification of
a typical system
• Example:
modify the
Cdc/who
process

Disease is: Information is:
– Viral – Viral
– Intelligent – Intelligent
– Networked – Networked
– Localized – Global
– Predictable – Predictable
Technology; properly deployed – is the next
line of defense in the war of disease.

8. How disparate
information saves
lives
• Social sharing
is now a
global pursuit
• Data is
cheaper to
store
• Smart is
getting smarter
• Citizen
journalism is
progressive

9. Predictive Intelligence: The social
genome
• Primitive systems of predictive intelligence
surround us
– Lottery
– Sports
– Gambling
– Future crime
• Advance systems will need to learn ‘critical
thinking’ skills to eliminate false positive
signals corrupting the equation
• Cold tech, qbit (quantum) and the ‘internet of

• Requisite Technology is pervasive but still
elusive
• Computers must be trained to mimic the
physicians process
• Electronic records must be anonymous
• Information must be free
