https://youtu.be/I5Xarr7pBuk

Simon Waslander is the Director of Collaboration, at the CureDAO Alliance for the Acceleration of Clinical Research (https://www.curedao.org/), a community-owned platform for the precision health of the future.

CureDAO is creating an open-source platform to discover how millions of factors, like foods, drugs, and supplements affect human health, within a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), making suffering optional through the creation of a “WordPress of health data”.

Simon is a native of the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba, having been born on the island and initially chose to study medicine at the University of Groningen, but then transitioned over to healthcare innovation studies at the University of Maastricht where he wrote his master thesis on the topic of Predictive Healthcare Algorithms.

Alphabet X graduates robotic agtech firm Mineral

A little over two years after its public debut, Mineral is becoming its own Alphabet company. The team, which was formerly known as the “Computational Agriculture Project” (no prizes for guessing why they adopted the new name), just graduated from the X “moonshot” labs.

“After five years incubating our technology at X, Alphabet’s moonshot factory, Mineral is now an Alphabet company,” CEO Elliott Grant said in a blog post. “Our mission is to help scale sustainable agriculture. We’re doing this by developing a platform and tools that help gather, organize, and understand never-before known or understood information about the plant world — and make it useful and actionable.”

Years after attempting to build a robotics division largely through acquisition, Alphabet appears to be growing one more organically in-house. Mineral follows Everyday Robots and Intrinsic in growing from X to a fully released Alphabet subsidiary.

Booming AI under the knife: Tech layoffs slay 20% of popular startup’s workforce

The recent announcement of Scale AI layoffs has served as a reminder that even the most promising startups and IT giants are not immune to the problems of the collapsing tech market as the artificial intelligence (AI) industry continues to grow.

Despite having a CEO heralded as “the next Zuckerberg” and a $7 billion valuation, Scale AI announced the “hardest change” – the layoff of 20 percent of its 700-person workforce on Monday in a blog post.

Mercedes Benz to become the first to offer Level 3 autonomous driving in the US

The German carmaker has received approval in Nevada, with California next on the list.

The German automaker, Mercedes Benz, is set to become the first to offer Level 3 autonomous driving technology in the US with approvals for its Drive Pilot system in Nevada, followed by California. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023, showcasing a host of new technology.

According to the German manufacturer, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Nevada has approved the application, and the required certification is expected to come through in the next two weeks. “Mercedes-Benz will be the first OEM to have a Level 3 system to offer in the US – and is optimistic that California will follow soon,” said a press release.

How The New AI ChatGPT Can Help Leaders Make Time To Be Human

In the last week, I’ve been experimenting with the hot new version of ChatGPT to discover how it might conserve a leader’s scarcest resource: time. When OpenAI launched the AI chatbot at the end of November, it instantly attracted millions of users, with breathless predictions of its potential to disrupt business models and jobs.

It certainly promises to deliver on a prediction I made in 2019 in my book The Human Edge, which explores the skills needed in a world of artificial intelligence and digitization. I forecasted: “…AI can offer us more free time by automating the stupid stuff we currently have to do, thereby reducing our cognitive burden.”


This new chatbot can help time-poor managers by writing emails and talking points — but also in delivering complex tasks like HR performance reviews.

Why 2023 Will Be The Year Of AI Education

Artificial Intelligence is not the future. It is here today or has been for a long time — depending on who you ask. As we enter 2023, it is not enough to say that 2023 is the “year of AI” — the past few years have all been the “year of AI”. I believe 2023 is the year of AI Education.

What is AI Education? I have previously written articles about AI-Literacy, and the need for everyone in the world to understand AI at some level. AI Education is the process of becoming AI Literate.


Why is 2023 the year of AI Education? This post shows why it should be and why it can be.

Fake Scientific Abstracts Written By ChatGPT Fooled Scientists, Study Finds

Fake scientific abstracts and research papers generated using OpenAI’s highly-advanced chatbox ChatGPT fooled scientists into thinking they were real reports nearly one-third of the time, according to a new study, as the eerily human-like program raises eyebrows over the future of artificial intelligence.

Researchers at Northwestern University and the University of Chicago instructed ChatGPT to generate fake research abstracts based on 10 real ones published in medical journals, and fed the fakes through two detection programs that attempted to distinguish them from real reports.


ChatGPT created completely original scientific abstracts based on fake numbers, and stumped reviewers nearly one-third of the time.
