Imagine a world where your AI assistant genuinely cares about you. Dr. Suzanne Gildert is working to make that a reality! As CEO of Nirvanic Consciousness Technologies, she's pushing the boundaries of AI consciousness. Dr. Gildert, with her expertise in quantum computing and robotics, challenges conventional AI wisdom. She proposes that true machine consciousness is crucial for developing AI with real empathy and ethics. From healthcare to space exploration, the implications are vast. But so are the ethical considerations. Dive into a thought-provoking exploration of a future where machines might not just mimic emotions, but truly experience them.
Innovator | Dr. Suzanne Gildert is at the forefront of AI and robotics innovation. She co-founded Kindred AI in 2014, which was acquired by Ocado for $339 million CAD, marking one of the largest exits for a robotics company in Canadian history. At Sanctuary AI, she led the development of the award-winning Phoenix robot, demonstrating remarkable progress in human-like robotics.
Researcher | With a PhD in Physics and Electronics from the University of Birmingham, Dr. Gildert brings a strong scientific background to her work. Her expertise spans quantum computing, where she invented MAXCAT, the world's first quantum computer game, and implemented several quantum machine learning algorithms.
Visionary | As the current CEO of Nirvanic Consciousness Technologies, Dr. Gildert is pioneering the exploration of consciousness in AI. Her bold vision aims to integrate consciousness into AI systems, potentially revolutionizing their self-awareness, creativity, and empathy.
