He founded Sensay to develop solutions across a range of sectors, from healthcare to education, building a knowledge capture and share platform for the betterment of humanity. Dan has a BA in Philosophy from King's College London and an MBA from the University of Cambridge. He has authored two books to date: ‘Immortality in a Digital Age' and ‘The Digital Afterlife'. Summary AI Digital Replicas and Personal Use Michael and Dan discussed Dan's work in AI, specifically on creating lifelike digital replicas of people. Dan explained that this tool is helpful for anyone in business or personal life, as it can draft messages in one's style and voice with their knowledge base. Michael expressed interest in using this technology, noting that it made him think of aspects he hadn't considered before. The meeting was scheduled to last between 20 to 25 minutes. Entrepreneurial Journey and Industry Insights Dan shared his entrepreneurial journey from philosophy to the hospitality industry, including setting up restaurants and bars, before transitioning to tech after a severe concussion. He highlighted the high failure rate and competitiveness in hospitality but praised the industry for fostering hardworking, trustworthy, and creative individuals. Michael acknowledged AI's potential while also appreciating entrepreneurs' humble beginnings. They discussed the value of diverse skill sets and community experiences, like Michael's time at a grocery store, in recognizing people's needs for entrepreneurship. Addressing Memory Loss and Sharing Stories Michael expressed his concern about the loss of memory due to Alzheimer's or dementia and how it affects individuals and their loved ones. He suggested that technology could be used to record and share personal stories and experiences, which would be particularly valuable for those who have lost access to family members due to death. Dan agreed, sharing his own experience of memory loss and how it can be terrifying. He also mentioned that people with degenerative mental diseases are often advised to start a journal or life book to record their stories, but this can be difficult for the elderly. Exploring AI Chatbots for Story Preservation Dan discussed the potential of AI chatbots to learn from individuals and preserve their unique stories and experiences for future generations. He highlighted various use cases: education, preserving legacies, gaming, personal assistance, and brand marketing. Dan also mentioned the technology's ability to extend and empower individuals beyond their physical limitations. Michael agreed, emphasizing the technology's potential to free up time for humans to focus on human-to-human interactions, using Taylor Swift as an example. Embracing AI for Global Collaboration and Growth Michael discussed the potential for increased global collaboration and creativity, particularly in education and technology. He emphasized the importance of not fearing the impact of AI on jobs but rather embracing it as an opportunity for growth and innovation. Michael also shared his personal experience of tracing his ancestry back to the late 11 hundreds, which sparked his curiosity about the lives of his ancestors. He encouraged others to embrace AI and technology's opportunities rather than fearing them. Exploring AI, Legacy, and Family Trees Michael and Dan discussed the potential of using AI and technology to understand our future better and preserve our past. They highlighted the importance of recording personal stories and experiences for future generations despite concerns about privacy and security. Dan emphasized the opportunity to leave a legacy for those curious about our lives and experiences and the potential for future generations to learn from our knowledge and experiences. They also touched on the idea of interactive family trees and the possibility of communicating with ancestors. The conversation concluded with the idea that we live in a "golden age of technology" where we have the tools to record and preserve our stories for future generations. Discussing Data Privacy and AI Character Development Dan and Michael discussed the implications of recording and sharing personal data, with Michael advocating for the greater good and Dan highlighting the potential for misuse. They also touched on the importance of understanding different historical perspectives and the challenges of creating AI characters that reflect diverse personalities. Dan emphasized the potential of their platform to save time and improve efficiency, allowing users to focus on more critical tasks. They concluded by expressing excitement for the future of their project and its potential to revolutionize how people interact with technology. Exploring Sensay's Products and Potential Benefits Michael and Dan discussed Dan's company, Sensay, and its products.

Through on-chain verification, individuals can know, with certainty, that a source of information is authorized and legitimate.There are many ways that blockchain can help improve healthcare around the world. This includes addressing inefficiencies in health care systems, using ZK proofs to connect patients with relevant doctors, and creating secure digital health care records.There has been a lot of talk about AI regulations and introducing appropriate safeguards to guide responsible development. Unfortunately, it may no longer be possible to safeguard AI fully as “the cat is out of the bag”, so it's important to ensure positive use cases are developed, and complimentary blockchain tools are built to protect individuals during this AI boom.--Full shownotes with links available at--https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruism-podcast-episode-148-sensay-revolutionizing-dementia-care-with-ai-and-blockchain--Support us with a Fiat or Crypto contribution--Learn more at cryptoaltruism.org/supportus--DISCLAIMER --While we may discuss specific web3 projects or cryptocurrencies on this podcast, please do not take any of this as investment advice, and please make sure to do your own research on potential investment opportunities, or any opportunity, before making an investment.

ABOUT THE GUEST Jill Richmond is a Partner at Ark Advisory. Ark Advisory has built an end-to-end process for managing the full process of raising capital in digital markets. She has worked with over a dozen successful ICOs and token sales within the past several months driving the global marketing and investor relations efforts. She previously founded two technology companies and worked for the World Bank Innovation Practice and is a regular Forbes contributor. Being from an economics background and having worked at the World Bank, Jill has always been intrigued by the crypto world and making the unbanked bankable. She got into cryptocurrencies when she was pulled into a project in November of 2016, working for marketing of Singular dtv, which raised 12.5M dollars through initial coin offering (ICO). This intrigued her further which resulted in her consulting for them. WHY ARE ICOS LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD (10:20) Syndicates have a larger number of people participating in them than would have been possible in another scenario and the ability for them to raise money in a way they haven’t before. With ICOs this has been made possible. One example could be Sensay and sense token. In another environment a female founder would have had a hard time raising money this conveniently. This is not the only instance where ICOs are levelling the field but also token sales. Also, geographically and by the product for which the money is being raised itself, ICOs are helping in levelling the field. NETWORK EFFECT OF ICOS (20:00) The most interesting thing about token sales is the fact that people who invest in them are probably the initial group of end users. This network effect is one of the incentives of the token sale. Thinking through the economics of the token sales and how it plans to incentivise the users and the retailers are some of the important things to be looked at before a token sale. Jill mentions that there are different categories of people involved in token sales. They include Underwriters who are supporting the running of the actual sale, retail investors who are the larger investment pool, traders who are traders on secondary market and finally the natural buyers and users of the future system who actually end up using the resource. And the token sales are pre-designed in such a way that they are maximising the contribution pool thus people who are investing are also the people who end up developing the community. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LEVELLING THE PLAYING FIELD? (27:30) For the company, what they’re building requires a network effect, so they have to think broad and in terms of potential global participation and enhance the value of what they’re building. That way it levels the playing field. The idea of participating in a massive future infrastructure of a project is fantastic and exciting for everyone involved. WHAT ARE YOUR INSIGHTS ON THE AVERAGE JOE WHO HAS A VERY FOGGY IDEA ABOUT AN ICO? (32:30) You’re starting to see 2 things that are happening which is great, the space is growing really fast, the material & automation that is available, the open source & technology that is available for these companies are starting to grow up a lot. There are places like Superbloom Capital that is starting to democratize this process on the flipside. So, the good news is that there is a lot of package-able support & information for someone looking to get into the space. The ICO Handbook by David Siegel is especially brilliant. IF YOU WANT TO DO A TOKEN SALE OR ICO, WHAT WOULD BE THE FIRST STEPS YOU’D TAKE? (36:30) First, figure what your token is. Explore the role, purpose and features of the token. That is the first thing to start and understand. Challenge your token. Do your due diligence & a peer review. Then, you get your lawyers involved. But it always starts with how is your token structured? What are your assets? These are questions you need to answer before the sale. In terms of research, to wrap your head around cryptocurrency, token sales and block chain, and if you’re really interested in investing, set up a Coinbase account, throw a bit of money in there, read a bit. I’d like to share my list of resources with you, which can answer all the questions and concerns you have. WHY SHOULD I USE SENSAY RATHER THAN A QUORA? (44:30) Sensay will find you a person who can actually answer a question for you and you can have a back and forth conversation or there are bots who can answer your questions until they can’t and they connect you to someone who can. THE LEVEL OF THE PLAYING FIELD IS ALSO ALONG THE AGE DIMENSION, WOULD YOU AGREE? (47:00) I would. We were already seeing this. Exponentially, yes. There are lots of reasons why. Today, there is a lack of boundaries. A centralized environment is something that they don’t wrap their heads around. Socio economic divisions have diminished.

The O’Reilly Bots Podcast: Applying the principles of normal human interaction to chatbots.In episode four of the O’Reilly Bots podcast, Pete Skomoroch and I speak with Cathy Pearl, director of user experience at Sensely, and author of the forthcoming O’Reilly book “Designing Voice User Interfaces.” She’s also a speaker at O’Reilly’s upcoming Bot Day on October 19, 2016, in San Francisco.We begin with some differences between VUIs and conventional UIs. Pearl points out that “the key to conversational design is anticipating how people actually speak, not how we want them to speak.” The Amazon Echo, which we demonstrated in detail in episode 3, keeps coming up as a totally new mode of user interface; not only is it an exclusively voice-based interface with no built-in screen, but it’s also fundamentally social, intended for use in common spaces. Like Siri, the Echo has careful persona design, with subtle signals that help users figure out how to interact with it (as well as keeping them entertained).
