New research indicates this is indeed possible, and the implications for preventive medicine and several disease types are large. Learn about it in this talk.

Shinjini Kundu graduated from high school at age 16, earned a PhD at 25, and was named one of Pittsburgh’s 40 under 40 in 2016. In her PhD work at Stanford, Shinjini employed machine learning that trained computers to detect patterns in medical images. That technology enables doctors to detect osteoarthritis three years before symptoms are evident.

Shinjini is currently an MD-PhD scientist in the Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP), a collaboration between the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. Her research focuses on medical diagnosis in the pre-disease stage when a patient is still asymptomatic. She is also an advocate for women and minorities in STEM professions.

Technologist Jeremy Howard shares some surprising new developments in the fast-moving field of deep learning, a technique that can give computers the ability to learn Chinese, or to recognize objects in photos, or to help think through a medical diagnosis.

Jeremy Howard is the CEO of Enlitic, an advanced machine learning company in San Francisco. Previously, he was the president and chief scientist at Kaggle, a community and competition platform of over 200,000 data scientists. Howard is a faculty member at Singularity University, where he teaches data science. He is also a Young Global Leader with the World Economic Forum, and spoke at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2014 on “Jobs for the Machines.”

Howard advised Khosla Ventures as their Data Strategist, identifying opportunities for investing in data-driven startups and mentoring portfolio companies to build data-driven businesses. He was the founding CEO of two successful Australian startups, FastMail and Optimal Decisions Group.

He founded two successful Australian startups (the email provider FastMail, and the insurance pricing algorithm company Optimal Decisions Group), both of which grew internationally and were sold to large international companies. He started his career in management consulting, working at the world’s most exclusive firms, including McKinsey & Co, and AT Kearney (becoming the youngest engagement manager world-wide, and building a new global practice in what is now called “Big Data”). He is also a keen student, for example developing a new system for learning Chinese, which he used to develop usable Chinese language skills in just one year. Jeremy has mentored and advised many startups, and is also an angel investor. He has contributed to a range of open source projects as a developer, and was a regular expert guest on Australia’s most popular TV morning news program “Sunrise”.

With almost 20 years of business experience, André has a track record of success with multiple multi-million dollar ventures in multiple industries that have spanned the continent. His latest company works in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and has created a one-of-a-kind neural network that simulates a growing neocortex. This system of neurons uses evolutionary concepts to self-organize to complete tasks only previously achievable by humans.

Most futurists and experts believe that by 2035, AI will match and eventually surpass human intelligence.
