Stephen Wolfram answers general questions from his viewers about science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-qaQuestions include: Can you talk about lambda calculus? - Any thoughts on numerology? - My current favorite approximation to a constant (e, in this case) is (1 + 9^-4^(7*6))^3^2^85, which uses each of the digits 1–9 only once and is accurate to 18 septillion digits. - Atmospheric noise is about as random as we can get, I think. - How does IBM Watson AI stand against modern LLMs? - Would the LLM have the same reaction time to compete and press the buzzer as humans? - Is it possible someday we may predict the weather years in advance? - Well then, is weather a good random sequence? - How do you calculate wind speed if wind is just a pressure difference? - If the Earth started rotating in reverse, would that have an effect on weather? - What would it take to stabilize the weather (like using wind farms in reverse or controlling ground albedo or atmosphere composition) so that we know it exactly? - Can the Earth's tilt ever be affected? What kind of changes would this cause? - There is a rather large difference between what the ideal climate would be and what changes will mean trouble for us, given our current infrastructure. - Even the weather can't agree on what the weather should be.

Innovation Inside LaunchStreet: Leading Innovators | Business Growth | Improve Your Innovation Game
Are you a leader who is still following leadership principles from decades ago? Believe it or not, having an open door policy or treating the star performer on your team the same as the guy who is always late and never hits his sales targets may not be a good thing — for you, your team, and innovation! The dynamics of our teams have changed, but the leadership rules have not. Thankfully, Kevin Kruse recognized the need for new principles to guide leaders, and today we’re digging right into his insights. Kevin is the founder of several successful startups, CEO of LEADx (world’s first executive coach built with IBM Watson AI), and the author of the book Great Leaders Have No Rules: Contrarian Principles to Transform Your Team and Business. Most of the leadership rules we as leaders follow are outdated, antiquated, and sometimes just plain wrong. Kevin shares more about some of the old mindsets that he’s completely turned around, including why you should be crowding your calendar and scheduling every minute of your day, and why you need to close your open door policy and set fixed office hours for your team! He also has some great insights into the importance of understanding your own personality in being a good leader instead of depending on 10 random principles, and how AI can help leaders. Remember: Leadership starts with yourself because you can’t give what you don’t have. If you are ready to: get buy-in from key decision makers on your next big idea be a high-impact, high-value member that ignites change foster a culture of innovation where everyone on your team is bringing innovative ideas that tackle challenges and seize opportunities… Join us on LaunchStreet — gotolaunchstreet.com Mentioned in This Episode: Sponsor: Brillity Digital — Digital Presence Assessment Offer Kevin Kruse LeadX Great Leaders have No Rules: Contrarian Leadership Principles to Transform Your Business and Your Team, by Kevin Kruse 15 Secrets Successful People Know about Time Management, by Kevin Kruse Leading with the Heart, by Mike Krzyzewski and Donald T.

Dr. Lisa Amini is the director of IBM Research Cambridge, which includes the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab. Watson is a complex question-answering computer system that is capable of providing answers to questions that are directed in natural language; it was developed in IBM's DeepQA project. Dr. Amini has extensive experience in deep information extraction, representation, and reasoning as it pertains to knowledge, semantic analysis, and decision science. Her past work includes the development of strategies for utilizing science and technology in intelligent urban and environmental systems, specifically centered on sustainability issues, resource management, transportation, and data. Dr. Amini discusses how the Watson products focus on specific products that can be benefited by machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and image analysis. Beyond the interesting gaming aspect that gained Watson much public attention, Amini explains that the AI's uses for business applications are quite diverse and multitudinous. She gives an insightful overview of the current AI algorithms that exist in the market and how they perform extremely well utilizing large volumes of data, training on that data, learning from patterns and responses, and image recognition, etc. As the AI expert details, the AI often needs volumes of data in order to make assessments or recognition of an image, and the innovation will come from pushing the AI to make inferences without the need for voluminous data. For as human knowledge comes from multiple sources and signals such as reading documents, recognition, talking to other informed individuals, etc., their learning is more broadly focused. And this multi-modal learning is essentially where Dr. Amini and her team are seeking to make improvements with AI technology. The AI innovator discusses how her team is using advanced information theory techniques to understand how information flows within networks. By studying how models are trained regarding the neural network, researchers can build more scalable models that may provide better output. She explains that one valuable element of natural language processing is the analyzation of text, to understand the importance of relationships in order to bring that information to the user in a more qualitative manner. Dr. Amini speaks about the questions that arise in human understanding, and how it is important to know ‘what causes what' in terms of gathering a broader grasp of information. She discusses her hopes to see advances in machine learning applied to areas that would enable us to learn representations of causal structure and causal information, as well as in areas of security in order to provide more robust solutions. From healthcare to security and everything in between, Dr. Amini sees great potential for AI advances that will improve the ways we receive, use, and implement information.
