Working on Geneosophy, which deals with comprehension and enables the formalization and verification of concepts such as life and intelligence.
One of the first things I noticed, when I started reading about Bio-Inspired AI and neuroscience, is the notion that we cannot say that we "really" understand something unless we find a suitable "traditional" mathematical model that approximates it in a way or another. We are
A year ago I sold Tipic Inc., the company that created the largest blogging and community platform in Italy. Now Splinder is handed over and has doubled in users since the sale. I am now free to go after my interests which are, broadly speaking, Bio Inspired Artificial Intelligence and
Here is the opportunity: how do you eliminate 50% of fraudulent clicks that you pay when you buy a campaign on Google? Well, to put things in perspective, 50% seems a lot, but it is not much compared to more than 50% which is lost on TV ads, and who
I studied Engineering and graduated with honors, but I must admit that I never liked mathematical analysis, and was never too good at it. I found it as being too abstract and hard to visualize; on the other hand, I loved computer science, it was my second nature, I could
The average age of Italian politicians is one of the highest in the world. Regardless of their background, either on the left or on the right, Italian politicians have been trying to "regulate" the Internet for a while now. Their latest proposal is to oblige any site or
I finally got to NYC at 10:00 pm local time, 6 hours late on a 5 hours flight, not bad! We left San Francisco at 8:00 am, but over Chicago, we started flying in circles, and after a few minutes the captain announced that the FAA was not
The last 2 weeks in the Bay Area have been really productive. The quality and quantity of people that I met is really impressive. I like technology, so I guess that's the place where it makes sense to be for me. The reality, though, is that it is
Yesterday Shel gave me the first lesson of "Silicon Valley 101" :-) He was a great host taking me around Palo Alto and Stanford. As usual we had a great conversation about many subjects: cultural diversities, social media, the economy, life, etc ... He also wrote an interesting post
This week I attended the AAAI - Artificial Intelligence conference in Vancouver. I was a bit disappointed because I did not find much Artificial Intelligence, but rather a lot of Human Intelligence applied to solve specific problems with the aid of computers. I found a lot of mathematics and logic
I know it, yet I keep making the same mistake. I have my vision of the future; it's obviously a partial one, but I know it is a plausible one. And yet I keep trying to talk to friends who are not technologists and I try to explain
Back from the Synthetic Biology (SB) conference in Zurich. I did not understand most of the details because I lack a biology background, but I came away with a few ideas: * they are trying to define the boundaries of the field, but they lack the technical tools to lower the
Reading about physics, biology, nanotechnology and AI is very refreshing. After 5 years spent concentrating on community building, blogs, IM and the WEB in general, I am taking my time to understand the big picture. So many things have changed in 5 years, and so many different fields are coming
