NYAI #23: Using Cognitive Neuroscience to Create AI w/Dr. Peter Olausson

SPEAKER


 Dr. Peter Olausson

CEO and Co-Founder of COGNITUUM


Dr. Peter Olausson started his career as a cognitive neuroscientist and spent over a decade at Yale University researching how our memories, motivation and cognitive control together affect decision-making. Before starting COGNITUUM, Peter was focusing on new breakthroughs in the information solutions that shape the human experience, including cognitive computing, data analytics, neuromanagement, and knowledge networks. Peter received his PhD in neuropharmacology at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden and his postdoctoral training at Yale University.

ABSTRACT :

COGNITUUM has developed a general intelligence framework that provides a viable pathway towards human-level machine intelligence. The platform features continuous and real-time learning from any data source.

 


James Tee

Neuroscience and AI Adjunct Fellow, University of Canterbury

Panelist


James Tee completed his PhD in Electrical Engineering in 2001 at the University of Canterbury, where he worked on Turbo Codes under the supervision of Desmond P. Taylor. Subsequently, he held various industry and policy positions at Vodafone Group, the World Economic Forum, New Zealand's Ministry of Agriculture & Forestry, and the United Nations. In 2012, he began his transition into scientific research at New York University (NYU), during which he completed an MA in Psychology (Cognition & Perception) and a PhD in Experimental Psychology (Neuroeconomics). Most recently, he was an Adjunct Assistant Professor at NYU's Department of Psychology, and a Research Scientist (Cognitive Neuroscience) at Quantized Mind LLC. In September 2017, James began his venture into Mind-Body and Energy Medicine, where he is currently pursuing a 3-year MS in Acupuncture clinical training to be an Eastern medicine physician, at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York City. Since November 2017, he is also an Adjunct Fellow with the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of Canterbury.

Speaker Block #3

DENNIS MORTENSEN

CEO/Founder, x.ai


Dennis is the CEO and Founder of x.ai. He’s a pioneer and expert in leveraging Data and a serial entrepreneur who has successfully delivered a number of company exits on that theme. Dennis’s long term vision of killing the inbox triggered the formation of x.ai and the creation of an artificial intelligence personal assistant to schedule meetings. He’s an accredited Associate Analytics Instructor at the University of British Columbia, the Author of Data Driven Insights from Wiley and a frequent speaker on the subject of AI, intelligent agents, and the future of work. A native of Denmark, Mortensen currently calls New York City his home.

In this talk, x.ai CEO and Founder, Dennis Mortensen, will discuss some of the important factors and decisions that need to be made in building an AI autonomous agent. As x.ai developed its AI assistants—Amy & Andrew—who take over meeting scheduling entirely, they encountered quite a few unexpected challenges.

 

This talk will cover the key questions and challenges to consider if you’re involved in designing artificially intelligent agents, based on those faced by x.ai in building their AI assistants (more details below).
