This is part 3 of our talk. Part 1 is here. Part 2 is here.
Louis Rosenberg has been in tech for decades. He’s worked for NASA and developed the world’s first augmented reality system after studying at Stanford.
Today we’re touching a few topics: first, why Louis believes AR will win out over VR in how we interface with the metaverse. Then we discuss what he considers will be the next generation Siri/Alexa in the metaverse and how dangerous that can be in combination with AI. We think about some of the ethical issues of the metaverse and how it's really just another step in a progression we’ve been on for decades.
Despite all this, Louis and I still believe the metaverse and augmented reality will make our world a better place, but only if it's used and controlled properly.

This is part 2 of our talk. Part 1 is here: https://youtu.be/qO5eT93yqGA
Louis Rosenberg has been in tech for decades. He’s worked for NASA and developed the world’s first augmented reality system after studying at Stanford. He’s an expert on AI, AR, and HCI and has started several unique companies.
We talk about his company Unanimous AI, which built a software that allows people to come to decisions together, an idea in nature known as swarm intelligence.
Instead of polling, groups of people come together in a real-time, dynamic feedback loop system with artificial intelligence to converge on an optimized decision or solution.
This method has drawn international media attention and a hit TED talk as it fairs better than any experts in prediction and decision in areas ranging from sporting outcomes to medical diagnoses.
