Description:
Many rumors from the far frontiers of technology have begun to ripple through our days, even our dreams. Rumors of wonder and of doom. But that far frontier is actually across the street from you; it’s right here, in San Francisco. This is where people are weaving the world anew. In this class we are going to cross the road and see what’s on the other side. So, if you have been curious about subjects like artificial intelligence, deep learning, big data, genetic engineering, CRISPR, crowdsourcing, cyborgs synthetic cells, and many others…, then this is the class for you.
