has proved himself a
master painter during his
tenure at GE.”
Welch ran

 How can a house burn up as it burns down?
 Does CPD represent a complex comorbidity of lung cancer?
 What mix of zero-coupon, non-callable, A+ munis fit my risk tolerance?

Artificial Intelligence ??

Artificial Intelligence
the theory and development of computer
systems able to perform tasks normally
requiring human intelligence, such as
visual perception, speech recognition,
decision-making, and translation
between languages.

Neuromorphic Computing
60% of
valuable
sensory data
loses value in
milliseconds
Today’s computing systems are challenged to extract real-time actionable
information from complex and cluttered sensor data with very low power.
Biological systems on the other hand, have evolved to be extremely efficient
at making sense of raw sensory information in real time at power levels
orders of magnitude smaller than conventional compute.
IBM’s SyNAPSE (Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable
Electronics) Chip – with brain-inspired computer architecture is powered by
an unprecedented one million neurons and 256 million synapses. Such
differentiated architecture – both in hardware and software – can enable
neural computation to be deployed where the sensory data is at the edge, or
at massive scale within the cloud.
