Topics, Sessions And Talks
In this talk, José Morey focuses on the latest technologies in artificial intelligence and machine learning in technology that have enabled scientists to gather and use data better and faster. The goal of these applications is to make sure NASA does not miss anything of potential value for civilian and commercial use as well as space exploration.
Leonardo da Vinci is still today one of humanity’s greatest innovators. His ability to blend cross-disciplinary sciences, technology, and art has inspired our greatest inventors from Franklin to Edison to Steve Jobs. In this talk, José Morey delves into the life and genius of the Renaissance thinker and explores how companies today can emulate his traits to transform their enterprises into innovation leaders and lead in this new technology renaissance.
Artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and deep learning are going to change the way we work, live, and love. Predictive tools and machine learning neural networks have the capability to not only take on routine tasks but to tackle bigger problems. In this talk, José Morey discusses the challenges and opportunities awaiting businesses that use these new tools.
Artificial intelligence (AI) applications are changing entire industries and eliminating the routine from healthcare tasks. How will artificial intelligence and robots change the face of medicine and healthcare? How will they affect patient testing, diagnosis, and doctor/patient interaction? In this talk, José Morey discusses what you should expect from health and medicine in the age of artificial intelligence.
Our health is not just about going to the doctor. It’s a holistic process that also looks at how our environments and behaviours interact with our well-being. How will our health change when we can travel quickly across the earth in Hyperloops or visit faraway places like Mars? In this exciting talk, José Morey discusses the healthcare challenges and opportunities on Earth and in space.
Space is a hostile environment for humans. In order to travel and explore Mars, our solar system, and beyond, we will have to develop ways to protect humans from the low oxygen and high radiation environments while also giving them the tools to thrive. In this talk, José Morey will draw from his work with NASA to discuss the health challenges and solutions to space exploration and how this will change healthcare close to home.
