Hear from Emily Kennedy, President and Founder of Marinus Analytics, talk about the company being the lone American finalist for the global IBM Watson AI XPRIZE Competition. Marinus Analytics uses AI to get actionable insights out of big data to empower a victim-centered response and serve experts working on the front lines of public safety. The flagship tool, Traffic Jam, revolutionizes the way detectives are able to stop and prevent human trafficking, recover victims and dismantle organized criminal networks.

On this week's Future Positive our host Neama Dadkhahnikoo, Technical Lead of the AI XPRIZE chairs a virtual roundtable with a panel of female innovators in the field of AI. Andy Coravos is the CEO and founder of Elektra Labs, a company that advances healthcare by enabling safe, effective, and personalized use of connected products (wearables and other connected sensors) at home.Kishau Rogers is a Computer Scientist, Systems Thinker, Entrepreneur and CEO of Time Study Inc. A venture-backed startup offering solutions for using machine learning, advanced natural language processing, and data science to automatically tell a story of how enterprise employees spend their time and to create more value for the enterprise’s greatest resource, people.Caitlin Kraft-Buchman is the Founder and CEO of Women @ The Table, a global gender equality & democracy CSO based in Geneva. Focusing on systems change by helping feminists gain influence in sectors that have key structural impact: technology, economy, sustainability, democracy and governance.Ida Tin is a Danish internet entrepreneur, author and the co-founder and CEO of Clue, an accurate menstrual calendar, ovulation app, and pregnancy tracker. Clue helps women take control of their reproductive health by discovering unique patterns in their individual menstrual cycle. Ida is credited with coining the term "femtech".Less than a quarter of positions in the industry are held by women and gender bias is hard wired into certain algorithms due to under-representation in data sets. Our panel deconstruct and identify AI solutions that empower underrepresented communities and enable an equitable future for all.Links:XPRIZE AI For Goodhttps://www.xprize.org/AIforgood Elektra Labs https://www.elektralabs.com/Time Study Inc.https://www.timestudy.co/ Women @ The Tablehttps://www.womenatthetable.net/ Cluehttps://helloclue.com/ https://xprize.org/blog See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Collective Problem Solving with AIFor today’s episode, we’ll hear from AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio who is a Turing-award winning computer scientist, AI XPRIZE advisory board member, and one of the “godfathers of machine learning”. Yoshua takes us on a deep dive into how machine learning is helping us in the fight against Covid-19. Yoshua pulls the curtains back on two AI projects, one around prediction of contagiousness, and a second on antiviral drug discovery. Both projects lead to a discussion about the need to change our economic and social structures to maximize collective well-being.Yoshua Bengio is recognized as one of the world’s leading experts in artificial intelligence and a pioneer in deep learning. Following his studies in Montreal, culminating in a Ph.D. in computer science from McGill University, Professor Bengio did postdoctoral studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston.Since 1993, Yoshua Bengio has been a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Operational Research at the Université de Montréal. In addition to having held for its maximum duration a Canada Research Chair, he is also the founder and scientific director of Mila, the Quebec Institute of Artificial Intelligence, the world’s largest university-based research group in deep learning. In 2016 he also became the Scientific Director of IVADO and co-Chair of the Canada’s Advisory Council on AI in 2019.His contribution to research is undeniable. In 2018, Yoshua Bengio is the computer scientist who collected the largest number of new citations in the world, thanks to his three books and some 500 publications.His ultimate goal is to understand the principles that lead to intelligence through learning and his research has earned him multiple awards. In 2017, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, in addition to receiving the Prix Marie-Victorin and being named Scientist of the Year by Radio-Canada. In 2018, he was awarded the 50th Anniversary Medal by Quebec’s Ministère des Relations internationales et de la Francophonie and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Canadian AI Association. In 2019, he was awarded the Killam Prize, the IEEE CIS Neural Networks Pioneer Award, as well as the ACM A.M. Turing Award, “the Nobel Prize of Computing”, jointly with Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun for conceptual and engineering breakthroughs that have made deep neural networks a critical component of computing. These honours reflect the profound influence of his work on the evolution of our society.Concerned about the social impacts of this new technology, he actively contributed to the development of the Montreal Declaration for Responsible Development of Artificial Intelligence.https://www.xprize.org/aiforgood See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's time for Katie's #AwesomeThingOfTheWeek - Google will tell you in real time whether a place is busy. Google or Maps integration. Sorg's #AwesomeThingOfTheWeek is the AI XPRIZE competition we learned about through Ascender and MIT Enterprise Forum Chilla's #AwesomeThingOfTheWeek is the Koogeek HomeKit compatible SmartPlug. It's Thanksgiving.  What are you thankful for in tech? Katie is thankful for 360 Video and all the new and exciting things it makes happen. Katie is also thankful for the convenience of Facetime to help her be part of her niece's life even though they live so far away. Chilla is thankful for Comic Con options in our tri-state area and how they've brought family together. Sorg is thankful for smaller tech - he used his iPhone and a GoPro to film a friend's wedding without having to haul #pro cameras. Tesla Motors shared some video of their  Self Driving car experience.  We're comparing it to the Uber system. Katie is telling Chilla about a Smart mattress that tracks sleep and has heat and white noise options among other features. Speaking of Tesla Motors, they're also powering an island using solar energy and power packs. Airbnb made a cool announcement about "experiences and places" options.  Sorg is talking about it as an option for his travels. Keep an eye out for the #AwesomeCast @Airbnb #TechTour. ;) Doom on a #MacBook touch bar is so cool! Eat at Slice on Broadway if you are in the Pittsburgh area! It is Awesome!
