The Future of the Metaverse
The Future of Construction
The Future of Generative AI
In this episode of The Future Of, Keenan Wyrobek, Co-Founder, CTO, and Product Architect of Zipline, joins host Jeff Dance to discuss the future of drone delivery. They unveil the current state of the industry, the most recent developments in drone delivery, how Zipline became the market's leader, and some of the biggest opportunities drone delivery can save and improve lives.
They Cover:
* [02:35] - Zipline stands as today’s largest autonomous delivery system, operating in seven countries. Initially focusing on the timely delivery of blood, the company has significantly expanded its services and now delivers consumer and food goods. Zipline bypasses traditional road traffic, ensuring faster and more efficient deliveries. This innovation has led to a remarkable 97% reduction in environmental impact compared to standard delivery methods.
* [09:43] - Zipline's uniqueness lies in two key areas: advanced technology and a customer-centric approach. Zipline stands out with its robust technology stack, like its proprietary AI-based "Nowcasting System," a specialized weather forecasting tool for drones. Beyond technology, Zipline’s true distinction lies in its commitment to customers. The team's approach guarantees every technological decision made aligns seamlessly with customer needs, ensuring its platforms are not only innovative but also aligned with client requirements.
* [12:17] - Zipline offers two distinct drone delivery products. The long-range platform, operating for years from the metro outskirts, serves remote cities and towns. It uses a fixed-wing drone resembling a large RC plane, delivering parcels with a mini parachute, ideal for broad, open areas. However, to meet customer requests for metro area deliveries, Zipline has developed Platform 2. This system silently delivers packages in tight spaces by lowering a small "droid" from a hovering drone. Despite challenging conditions, the droid precisely places the package and retracts quickly and quietly, effectively catering to most addresses, even in densely populated areas.
* [15:36] - In the present drone delivery landscape, the norm is individuals using 3,000-pound vehicles for small deliveries. This method is not only economically inefficient and unreliable but also environmentally destructive. Zipline's aim is to ensure timely, predictable deliveries with a substantially lower environmental impact. While other startups are also venturing into drone delivery, the company's focus and commitment set it apart as it's diligently working with a growing customer base, prioritizing their needs and striving to provide an unmatched, efficient, and rapid delivery experience.
* [23:07] - Envision a future 10-20 years from now, where your local pharmacy or favorite restaurant is equipped with a “magic” portal. Much like Zipline’s system, drones smoothly slide in and out of these portals, quickly delivering orders to your back porch. On the professional side, imagine the immense boost in efficiency for various occupations. Jobs that depend on physical materials – doctors, mechanics, and construction workers, for instance – no longer need to deal with the delay of getting necessary items. The frequent, time-consuming trips to the hardware store become a thing of the past as drones deliver the needed products instantly to your location.
* [25:43] - Drone delivery holds immense potential for enhancing global healthcare. It presents a solution to the global crisis of improving healthcare quality while cutting costs. Despite advancements in medicine, the escalating costs are unsustainable for many countries, including the United States, which allocates a significant portion of its GDP to healthcare. On-demand drone delivery offers a consistent and efficient method to deliver essential medications and supplies directly to patients' homes, ensuring uninterrupted treatment. In the U.S., health systems are already harnessing drone technology to fortify home healthcare programs.

Instead of just predicting, it can't create new data and content that could be hard to distinguish from other humans.
* [00:17:51] - Open AI is one of the most well-known companies in the generative AI space. And other big tech companies like Microsoft, Adobe, and Google are implementing their own versions, or they've accepted the technology and started to build with it themselves. For every major technology company, you can see elements of generative AI. For example, DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, and Midjourney are shaking up the design and art space.
* [00:26:04] - Stanford has said that "these new forms of generative AI have the capacity to change how we think, create, teach, and learn. They may also change our perspective on what is important to learn." There is an unlimited number of generative AI use cases across a wide variety of industries, helping them go from zero to one faster.
* [00:39:21] - Generative AI still faces many limitations, such as the high cost of use and turning it into a service, the number of queries you can run, technical constraints, and unreliable or biased outputs. But the industry evolves fast, and most of these limitations could be overcome shortly.
* [00:48:20] - Change itself is exponential, and most people have no idea what it means. Even for someone in this field, it's hard to understand where things are headed and what the future will look like. So looking ten years into the future, at this point, it's almost impossible to predict the magnitude of change. However, we can be sure that change will happen, generative AI will evolve, and we have to keep pace with this shift.
* [00:56:41] -* Generative AI is a technology that can create and disseminate more value among people, leading to an overall increase in the economy. While it may displace or transform some jobs, it will also create new opportunities. In the realm of software engineering, the gap between beginners and experts may widen due to the transformative power of generative AI. Additionally, smart assistants are poised to become integrated more deeply into our lives and will personalize their services to better assist us.

Dr. David Leonardi, Founder of the Leonardi Institute, joins Jeff Dance to discuss the future of aging, including approaches to prevent and reverse age-related diseases, the difference between aging and vitality, and lifestyle habits to slow the aging process. They Cover:
* [00:06:56] The scientific aspect of aging involves changes in DNA and the epigenome that cause debility within cells as well as the top causes of death today, which are coronary heart disease and stroke followed by cancer. Coronary disease and cancer account for about sixty-seven percent of mortality.
* [00:11:12] The classic approach to disease was to look at a single one and reverse it after it's already been established. A much better way focuses on altering chemical pathways before people get sick so that they can delay or potentially indefinitely prevent diseases from occurring while maintaining their vitality instead of getting debilitated before death. That is where the scientists are focused right now.
* [00:12:32] When you talk to people about living beyond 100 years old, many immediately picture an ancient person with a three-foot-long beard sitting in a wheelchair in a nursing home. When you slow the aging process, you maintain your healthy lifespan. The scientist's plan for aging is to retain our youth instead of getting debilitated before death so people can enjoy a healthy and active life.
* [00:21:27] An alternative version of recent breakthroughs in reversing aging is the information theory of aging proposed by David Sinclair. According to this theory, aging is not caused by defects in our genes but rather by changes in the epigenome, which is how our genes are wound around each other. One of Sinclair's students, Yingling Liu, experimented with the Yamanaka factors to reverse aging in mice. However, this resulted in the development of cancer. To address this issue, Yingling eliminated one of the Yamanaka genes responsible for cancer and used the other three to transform old cells into pluripotent stem cells, which did not result in cancer.
* [00:34:09] To slow the aging process, Dr. Leonardi suggests a low glycemic diet with minimal sweets and starches, plant-based proteins, and fats. He also encourages people to avoid toxins such as saturated fats and trans fats, limit exposure to air pollution, regularly exercise, use nutritional supplements that affect pathways like AMPK (Adenosine Monophosphate Kinase), intermittent fasting to activate AMPK without caloric restriction, NAD chemical messages out from the nucleus to invigorate mitochondria, autophagy, and mitophagy which involve recycling old proteins into active, healthy compounds for use in cells. Dr. Leonardi emphasizes having clean drinking water by using reverse osmosis filters to filter out toxic minerals like iron, copper, mercury, and cadmium from drinking water.

Micah Willbrand, Chief Product Officer and VP of Enterprise at NEC Corporation of America joins Jeff Dance to discuss the future of advanced biometrics, including some common types of advanced biometrics currently in use, main ethical concerns, and how advanced biometrics will evolve in the next ten or twenty years.
They Cover:
* [00:03:07] Micah is a visionary leader that leads pragmatically. He states that many tech companies fail because they are too operationally focused or have a product the market won’t accept for the next five or six years. At NEC, he tries to build a hyper-focused consumer culture and create privacy and consent-focused products and services that will make people's lives easier.
* [00:06:06] People are familiar with biometrics like fingerprinting and facial biometrics to access smartphones. When we talk about advanced biometrics, there are two factors to consider. Firstly, biometric tech in labs has tremendous accuracy. But the second aspect is how we get biometrics because you need something to capture it. So we're seeing new techniques, like photoacoustic imaging, which works through lasers and ultrasound. The future of advanced biometrics brings various applications, including contactless fingerprints, which will create a more device less world.
* [00:11:06] NEC technology helped identify the Boston bomber. Regarding government and security, the company helps do the biometric matching for Border Patrol to ensure that the person entering the US is the same person on the passport. In the aviation industry, we see more of the so-called "ticketless journey." For example, Delta has multiple gates where you can board with just your face. Thanks to advanced biometrics, we'll see an outgrowth in protection against fraud.
* [00:18:38] When consumers hear biometrics, there are multiple ethical concerns. It's one of the barriers for the market to accept this technology. One of the NEC's core pillars is responsible growth, which stands for improving the lives of citizens and consumers but not at the detriment of unethical business practices.
* [00:26:51] People should be able to do 90% of their daily activities without needing devices, and NEC is working to make it a reality. For example, ten or twenty years from now, when you open your car or get coffee, you can use your face or another biometric to conduct the transaction without a physical wallet or phone.

Mike Ouren, Cobot Guru and OEM Manager at Thermo Fisher Scientific, and founder of Kevin Robot, joins Jeff Dance to discuss the potential of cobotics, current applications, advances in software and technology which make them safe to work alongside humans, as well as their potential impact on the future job market.
They Cover:
* [00:05:52] A cobot is a relatively new term, which defines a machine that's really approachable to a human being. It also has the element of being easy to use. There are two categories of the cobot: that works with human beings or works alongside human beings. A cobot may be fully automated and fully autonomous doing its own thing. But if a human needs to work or interact with it, cobots allow that to happen with fewer steps involved to transition from autonomous to non-autonomous operation.
* [00:10:07] In terms of practical applications, cobots are designed to bring the right tools to the right place at the right time. For example, you can use them as mobile transport in hospitals for prescription drugs. The whole idea behind cobots comes down to assisting and working with and for humans.
* [00:13:57] Advances in software and technology have made it possible for cobots to work safely alongside humans, revolutionizing industries such as mobile telephones with software-defined radio controllers. These controllers allow for managing major parameters such as force management and collision mitigation without a programming background.
* [00:23:24] The cobot industry will grow thanks to human awareness regarding cobots' role in assisting us in the working process. It's like getting a better tool for doing your job. Another significant factor represents technological progress.
* [00:29:19] Cobots will have a great impact on jobs in the future. While they can help increase productivity and reduce costs for companies, they are unlikely to replace people one-to-one. In reality, cobots will assist humans in their daily activities. For example, assistive robots could play a big role in taking care of an aging population in the future.

Robotics is the discipline of engineering that deals with the idea, design, building, operation, application, and usage of robots. Robots are incredibly adaptable devices, as proven by the great variety of forms and functions they can perform. I think is near and dear to a lot of our hearts is robotics and automation are augmenting human labor and using robots to whether it's the mundane or the thing I think is near and dear to a lot of our hearts is robotics and automation is augmenting human labor and using robots to whether it's the mundane or the thing bringing robotics in to help accomplish tasks because one of the biggest challenges we face in labor works.
It's actually that we don't have enough labor for the amount of construction that needs to get done. Augmentation allows us to get more done in an era where we're going to be challenged to find enough people to build what we need to build.
We finally got to the point where we could, from a cost perspective, build robots that could perform useful tasks. The Future Of is handcrafted by our friends over at: fame.so

Amanda Marrs, Sr. Director at AMP Robotics, reveals how AMP is developing high-tech waste recycling solutions to help create a more sustainable future. Jeff and Amanda take a glimpse at the waste recycling industry—touching on everything from the process of recycling materials and promising technology to international trends and logistical challenges.
They Cover:
[00:08:09] Where does that water bottle go after you throw it in the bin? Amanda describes the physical process of recycling with an example. After the bottle arrives at the processing plant, it's pre-sorted by people, sorted by a cardboard screen, and separated. The ultimate goal is to melt down the plastic to make new products.
[00:16:11] Amanda discusses her dream for the future: a world without waste. She envisions a circular economy, where products and packages are designed for recyclability first. Doing that will take patience, a lot of data, and economic incentives.
[00:23:13] What will drive change in the next ten to twenty years? Amanda's short answer is—Data. Data. Data. Aggregating local data with national trends yields powerful insights. She explains that data and infrastructure will give enhance analytics capabilities in the next ten years. She says that the speed of change depends on whether economic incentives are "carrots or sticks."
[00:27:04] Countries in Europe, like the Netherlands, are leading the way in terms of sustainability, but North America is catching up. Amanda mentions that she is working with some big CPG companies in North America that are make huge strides toward sustainability goals.
[00:28:38] The dos and don'ts of recycling. Amanda talks about how to dispose of pumpkins, why you shouldn't crush a soda can, and where to put your compost. She also gives tips on how to get involved in the community and your favorite brands.
