Accelerating Growth Using AI — A Look At Complexity And The Metaverse Series 1/5
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: business, robotics/AI
When I did my doctoral studies I studied a number of growth disciplines in areas like: complexity science, social network science (relationship and collaboration science), system thinking science, information science, and cognitive science. As a result of this knowledge, I learned how to connect business strategy goals using diverse growth strategies and analyze underlying operating systems that were either enabling relationship strength and growth outcomes or creating negative systemic feedback loops that prevented revenue acceleration.
There is a word in the English language seldom used called quaquaversal which means looking in all directions all at once which represents the field of complexity science and is the reality of the executive mindset that needs to operate in the board room and in today’s fast paced world — *what one sees as relevant today may well be obsolete tomorrow.*
This blog series will explore each of these discipline areas and connect real life examples of AI approaches that are enabling growth acceleration techniques using these science and social science techniques. This is the first blog in this five part blog series and will focus on complexity science.

Antimicrobial resistance linked to 1.27 million deaths in 2019
Posted by Quinn Sena in category: futurism
After analyzing the data, the researchers found that 1.27 million deaths across the globe could be attributed to antimicrobial resistance, whereas 4.95 million deaths were associated with antimicrobial resistance.
Western sub-Saharan Africa had the highest rate of deaths attributable to and associated with antimicrobial resistance.
The study authors also found that the entire region of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia had the highest rate of both types of deaths.

Why the metaverse must be open but regulated
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: innovation, internet
But meta company can easily regulate our activity. Eg:- blocking our account.
Widespread accessibility for the metaverse and the technologies that develop it is vital for the metaverse to reach its full potential. Will the metaverse follow a similar path of innovation and regulation as the internet did?

Scientists use ‘sticky’ DNA to build organized structures of gel blocks
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, engineering
Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have used microscopic strands of DNA to guide the assembly of gel blocks that are visible to the naked eye.
The hydrogel blocks, which measure up to 2mm in length and contain DNA on their surface, self-assembled in around 10–15 minutes when mixed in a solution, the scientists reported today in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
“These hydrogel blocks are, we believe, the largest objects so far that have been programmed by DNA to form organized structures,” said Dr. Vyankat Sontakke, first author of the study and a postdoctoral researcher in the OIST Nucleic Acid Chemistry and Engineering Unit.

Electreon, Ford Developing In-Road Charging System Near Mobility Tech Hub
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: economics, robotics/AI, sustainability, transportation
Ford Motor Co. is working with Israeli startup Electreon to construct a mile-long road near Detroit’s Michigan Central Terminal that will charge electric vehicles as they travel on it. The pilot program will deploy an inductive in-road charging system in partnership with the Michigan Department of Transportation, the Michigan Office of Future Mobility and Electrification and the Michigan Economic Development Corp. “As we aim to lead the future of mobility and electrification by boosting electric vehicle production and lowering consumer costs, a wireless in-road charging system is the next piece to the puzzle for sustainability,” Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer said in a statement. Also supporting the project, which is expected to be operational in 2023, are Next Energy and the Jacobs Engineering Group. Ford purchased the long-abandoned train station and is converting it to be the hub of what it calls its “mobility innovation district,” where software developers and others will focus on making electrified and autonomous transportation more practical.

Pluto VR debuts tech that lets you stream virtual reality to a headset without a computer
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: computing, internet, space, virtual reality
Seattle-based software company Pluto VR has brought its virtual reality streaming platform PlutoSphere into Early Access.
Initially announced in February 2021, PlutoSphere allows its users to stream VR applications to a headset without the need for a local computer, in order to dramatically reduce the cost of entry for virtual reality. Instead of building a new rig around VR compatibility, you can theoretically just get a headset, then run everything from every library you own via data streaming.
