+ - = 4
Solve this riddle! Can you guess the wanted number?

+ + + = 7
+ + + = 7
+ - = 4
Correct! It’s a ‘7’

+ + + = 7
+ + + = 7
+ - = 4
Reason: 1st and 2nd line are identical

That was just a warm-up. Let’s try

Congrats,
You just helped the car to stay on the road.

And that’s what AI does:
Find out how to map input,
e.g., video image, radar
info, to output, e.g.,
identify road obstacles
And then, perform appropriate action such as break or turn.

Artificial Intelligence (AI):
“…building a human-like intelligence in the
form of an autonomous technological
system…”, Wikipedia
Intelligence Amplification (IA):
“…needs technology merely as an extra
support for an autonomous intelligence
that has already proven to function”,
Wikipedia

“AI is a very promising field, it has
been making promises for the last
50 years.”

Starmind learns
from your
questions and
answers your
expertise

What if we can build a system that leverages
- high-cognitive capabilities of humans
- number crunching capabilities of machines
I founded a tech startup, a spin-off, together with the University of Zurich

“Ultimately, the API is about
an interface to a value proposition,
not to an application.”

“The bed in the City Hotel was not comfortable.
However, the breakfast was excellent with good food and
excellent service.
We had a wonderful time and will travel with Travelito again.”

Sentiment Analysis ranks with human to interpret sentiment
51
79%
Accuracy

52.
52
The bigger the name, the bigger the problem

53.
53
But it 79% accuracy
enough?

54.
54
IA doesn’t need to be perfect.
IA just has to be good enough to support people
doing their job

55.

Imagine:
A self-Driving car with just 79% accuracy L
