Love following where #petcognition and #petcommunication lead us in exploring our own language, consciousness and cognition since first meeting Leo Trottier of FluentPet and talking to Elizabeth Haswell, PhD about how plants have some neurological-like behaviors without having nervous systems. So much to learn about what it means to be alive and connected with other life forms!https://lnkd.in/gnVgfgyZ

A great opportunity for an innovator in the #AEC and #builtenvironment spaces!

Games are a great way to develop AI, like these table tennis playing robots helping explore how AI/ML enabled robots and humans can work together. Google DeepMind is doing this today, how far have things advanced since your team did this 5 years ago at the Saint Louis Science Center, Benjamin Vierck?https://lnkd.in/gWzxPkJt

“A hybrid of QKD and PQC is the most likely solution for a quantum safe network.”As technology evolves, new paradigms must emerge. The prospective impact of quantum computing on privacy, cybersecurity, and networks is huge, and multiple quantum and post-quantum technologies and approaches will come together. This is a very approachable explainer of #QuantumKeyDistribution and #PostQuantumCryptographyhttps://lnkd.in/gmjEmYpk

Have had a great time talking to innovation ecosystem leaders in biomaterials, privacy, cybersecurity, and supply chain tech in the last days. Here's some key take aways:✅ -Ecosystems are about the energy in them, not who's in them. A cemetery is a collection of interconnected notable people, you don't want a peaceful place full of dead bodies.✅ -Funding coalitions need to benefit all the stakeholders - make the incentives and asks win/win (for you, too!).✅ -Pick metrics for both short and long term wins - it's hard enough to do this work, make sure you get positive feedback (along with the necessary lessons learned) as you go, not just at some mythical time in the future when you've solved all the world's problems.

I love seeing this recognition for Cass Information Systems , a not-known-well-enough leader in #supplychain #logistics #paymenttech #payments. #STL is fortunate to have such a critical player in supply chains based here and being a leader!

This story on Southwest Airlines, CrowdStrike and Microsoft could make a clearer point. It’s not about modernization vs not modernizing, or what’s in your physical or software supply chain, it’s about whether the enterprise understands these issues are inevitable and deals with them proactively or waits hoping they won’t happen. Southwest isn’t brilliant for avoiding this one, imagine if the next outage is caused by a Windows 3.1 dependency breaking and there’s no urgency to fix it because it’s ancient and no one is incentivized to work on it? Southwest (and FedEx UPS and everyone else still dependent on Windows 3.1) could just as easily have a much longer outage because of their dependency. Lots of people probably realizing how little they understand the frailty of their enterprise architecture right now, and what to do about their exposure to it.
