Sridhar Ramaswamy (Neeva) im Disrupt-Podcast

🎧 Just take a few moments to listed to this podcast - it’s worth it: In the new edition of the Handelsblatt-Podcast Disrupt futurist Amy Webb and her colleague Christina von Messling shared their latest research on areas like neuromorphic chips, generative AI beyond ChatGPT and disruptive technologies that could bring an end to bad cell phone coverage.

A few ideas:

💡 Artificial intelligence will be as impactful as the invention of the steam engine - and it will impact all knowledge working with the next 18 to 24 months

💡 In biotechnology many breakthroughs could occur within the next months, improving our health care system, make new treatments for diseases possible and ultimately extending our life spans.

💡 The difference between computers and organisms is getting smaller. Start-ups like Koniku use living cells to enable systems to be able to detect smell. Other companies like Elon Musk’s Neuralink and competitor Synchron make progress in developing chips for our brains. While Amy and Christina are clear that they will not hook up their brains to a system by Elon Musk.

💡 Bad internet and cell phone coverage is a serious obstacle in many parts of the world. Traditional telecommunication companies were slow to act. Now the industry gets disrupted by new players like SpaceX or Amazon.
