Innovation is the hot sauce of economic progress. Trevor Chandler is one of the hottest inventors on the planet. Whether it’s inventing Covid detection masks, AI-driven portable disease-detection machines, or robotic AI-guided robotic sensors, Trevor is a whirlwind of discovery and practical implementation. Join me in this fascinating and highly entertaining interview with Trevor Chandler. You’ll meet his robots, learn about Mask Zero -- the future of pandemic protection, which I previously discussed with Trevor’s extraordinary business partner, Adam Pener, and find yourself at the frontier of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), if not Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI). Trevor’s patent -- Self-creating, self-improving, and self-simulating artificial intelligence, Patent number: 12293169 and his Pending Patent, Systems and Methods for Generating Predictive and Optimized Neural Networks, Publication number: 20230112236 may well represent not just the hot, but the secret sauce to achieving AGI and ASI. Compare what Trevor says to what Yann LeCun says in this FT interview about the path to AGI and ASI and the need to model actual organisms’ brains, not blindly expand LLMs’ capacities. The overlap is amazing. LeCun co-won the Turning prize along with Bengio and Hinton. The three are viewed as the “Godfathers of AI.”
