This document discusses how machine learning and artificial intelligence will empower users to access perfect information through personal AI assistants. It describes how IoT sensors are generating vast amounts of data and machine learning can make sense of it. Personal AI assistants, like Jarvis, will be able to interpret natural language, access any online data, summarize information for users, and control devices. Speech recognition and text-to-speech advances are bringing AI assistants into the mainstream. The future could include direct brain interfaces giving users limitless access to computing and knowledge.

1. How machine learning empowers you to
know anything, anytime, anywhere.
ENTERING AN ERA OF
PERFECT INFORMATION

2. TODAY’S GOAL
Leave with a firm grasp on how “personal AI” can be
an opportunity for your business — and how it will
change the face of business.

3. WHAT IS MACHINE LEARNING?

4. AT IT’S ROOTS
Human learning is pattern recognition and
classification.
Machine learning is human learning
at computer scale.

5. IMAGINE...
If you could learn anything and retain everything.

6. UNLIMITED ACCESS TO
KNOWLEDGE
What would you
do with that?

7. PUTTING IT INTO CONTEXT

8. WE’RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
Perfect information.

9. MORE SPECIFICALLY...
AI + IoT = Perfect information.

10. WHAT IS PERFECT INFORMATION?
Know anything, anytime,
anywhere.
When making a decision, you are
completely informed of all
current and prior events.

11. OUR JOURNEY
● A new paradigm in entrepreneurship
● It’s all about the data
● Making sense of it all
● Why now?
● What’s next?

12. A NEW PARADIGM IN
ENTREPRENEURSHIP

13. EXPERTISE ON-DEMAND
Imagine how big your bank account could be if Warren
Buffet was personally advising every stock trade you make.
Imagine how successful your startup could be if Elon Musk
gave you personalized guidance every day.
Imagine how impactful your foundation could be if Mother
Teresa was advising every decision you make.

14. UNIVERSAL EXPERTISE
And with personal AIs, anyone can have access to that level
of expertise.
Time to up our game...

15. We’re headed into a world, where
anyone can easily know anything,
anytime.
So the quality of the questions you ask
determines success or fail.
“Wrong questions get wrong answers.”
~Gregory
The Seventh Son (2014)
QUESTIONS MATTER

16. TECHNOLOGY, THE LIBERATOR
Scarcity Mindset
20th Century Thinking
Find or create
something that is scarce,
then control access to it.
Abundance Mindset
21st Century Thinking
Nothing is scarce. Ask a
new question, then
create something that
adds value.

17. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE DATA

18. “Data is the next great natural resource.”
Virginia “Ginni” Rometty
CEO of IBM

19. IoT IS FEEDING THE GROWTH OF
AI
The single most valuable commodity in 21st century
business is data.
And the Internet of Things is giving us access to
previously unknowable data.

21. DIGITIZING OUR WORLD
● Satellites imaging Earth (0.5 m resolution)
● Autonomous cars imaging everything within 100 m
● Augmented reality headgear (1 mm resolution)
● Drones imaging cities (1 cm resolution)

22. Learning the stuff
you don't know that you don’t know.
In a word, visibility — getting a clearer view and
understanding of anything — physical or digital.
WHAT IoT CAN DO FOR YOU

23. IGNITING A PATH TO
ENLIGHTENMENT

24. All that data will be completely overwhelming, how do
we deal with all of it and put it to use in our
businesses?
BUT...

25. MAKING SENSE OF IT ALL

26. WE NEED A LITTLE HELP
The amount of data out there
is simply beyond human
capabilities.

27. THE RISE OF PERSONAL AI

28. WHAT CAN JARVIS DO?
● Interpret commands given
in natural language
● Respond in natural
language
● Access any piece of data
across the Internet
● Distill vast amounts of data
into human-usable chunks
● Control external robotics

29. CAN WE BUILD ONE?
Think microservices.
It won’t be one big brain, it
will be the combination of
multiple services working in
tandem.
Just like our own brains.

30. BUILDING JARVIS
We have a precedence.

33. WHY NOW?

34. IN A WORD...
(Natural) speech.

35. SPEECH TO TEXT

36. TEXT TO SPEECH

37. Instead of writing cryptic “code” or
tapping on a screen/keyboard,
we’ll be training computers to do
stuff, just like we would train a
(really, really smart) pet.
IN OTHER WORDS...

38. A MAJOR MILESTONE
Cracking the natural speech barrier has opened up
the floodgates and we will start seeing ‘conversational
agents’ everywhere.
And more importantly...

39. GATEWAY FOR UBIQUITOUS AI
Data fuels the development of AI.
And millions of chatbots will create mountains of data
about how people want to use AI.
We are standing at the doorstep of
mainstream artificial intelligence.

40. WHAT’S NEXT?

41. WE BECOME OUR OWN JARVIS
Nanotech turns our brains
into a smartphone and
we gain limitless access to
computing and data in
the cloud.

42. WRAPPING IT UP

43. RECAP
We’re headed into a world where you are
connected to everything, all the time.
Giving you the ability to know anything,
anytime, anywhere.
So ask empowering questions.
And make completely informed decisions.

44. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?
Upsides & downsides
to “know anything, anytime anywhere?”
