GMN2009: Next- beyond the skull

Monday, May 25th, 2009

We moved from the concept of model, change, and project, to their application in ordinary business life, and to create something with relevant potential social impact, on both businesses and people- the Human Genome Project and the future brain mapping.

But all this covered only the “Genome, mind mapping” part of the title.

Neural networks are both a concept and a technology, and the impact is already visible in some decision-making activities, and in everyday technological products and services.

What could be a further development? What are going to be potential impacts on how we organize, structure, decide, act?

Again, some simple lessons derived by the computer between your ears.

And, I promise: I will not create any neologisms- I will use what is already available on the market- actually, in science.

Let’s say that, for the time being, this automated removal of free will is just part of science fiction.
