Google invests in NBICs, a long-term strategy!




by Christophe » 27/05/14, 14:29

A short interesting interview on Goole's medium and long term strategy:

"Google's secret strategy appears ..."

INTERVIEW - Laurent Alexandre, expert in technologies of the future, analyzes the new role of Google in our lives and in our societies.


Laurent Alexandre is an atypical personality whose expertise is listened to. Urological surgeon by training, graduate of ENA, HEC and Sciences-Po, co-founder of Doctissimo.fr, he now chairs the DNA Vision genome sequencing company. This "brain" is interested "in the upheavals which the progress of science, technomedicine and biotechnologies will bring about for humanity". He devoted a remarkable essay to it entitled The Death of Death in which he affirms that "the man who will live 1.000 years has already been born".

Google is the world's first artificial intelligence embryo, in your opinion. Why?

The goal of Google executives is to transform their search engine into artificial intelligence. Gradually they get closer. In fact, no one saw it coming, neither the daily users of the search engine, nor its competitors. It took a while for Google's leadership strategy to be understood. I am blown away by the speed with which this company controls key industries for the XNUMXst century.

Explain yourself…

Watch the wave of start-up and company buyouts that Google is carrying out! In two years, this company has successfully preempted three key markets. That of the fight against death: she created Calico, a subsidiary which has this crazy goal of increasing life expectancy by twenty years by 2035. It has invested in DNA sequencing with its subsidiary 23andMe, but also in a project of smart lenses for diabetics, which measure your blood sugar in real time. At the same time, and in less than a year, Google bought out the eight main robotics companies. Including Boston Dynamics, which creates the robot dog "BigDog" for the American army, or Nest, world leader in home automation and smart objects ... Meanwhile, its Google Car, an incredible mix of robotics and artificial intelligence, drives thousands of miles alone on California roads without an accident. If in the year 2000 you brought up the idea of ​​an autonomous robot car, everyone was laughing! In 2025, it will be democratized. Finally, in recent years, Google has been debauchery of the biggest names in artificial intelligence. Like Ray Kurzweil, the "pope" of transhumanism, who has just been appointed chief search engine engineer.

This ties in with what was mentioned on the subject "tomorrow all unemployed": the system is gradually evolving to replace humans ...

I did not follow this subject too much.

And so while this system is in transition: how do humans eat and stay?

With a basic income?

Considering the killing of an increasing number of human activities, it is indeed quite possible that governments put in place a UK story that the legions of unemployed people cause a turnaround before the threshold of sufficient autonomy is achieved.

Let them not wait too long, the idea has been gaining ground for a while: https://www.econologie.com/forums/le-revenu- ... 11186.html

Because it will start to stink a little there! See the results of Sunday's elections (I didn't want to talk too much about it here but this is strongly linked to the crisis and the unfavorable economic context for most people!)

The rise of the FN is (it may be shocking!) Completely logical!
In a society in "crisis", when the economy tends towards recession there appears a phenomenon of retraction, in the same way that one curls up on either when one is cold!
The FN is a political party of withdrawal: exit from the euro, criticism of Atlanticism, immigration etc ...
Let's not forget economic Europe is built in a boom period, except we are on the verge of a crash ... (- about 10 years) all of this is perfectly consistent.

Yes quite logical ... psychologically only!

As for knowing how to solve the crisis (crises), I doubt that the FN is up to it ... quite the opposite !!

The exit from the euro is a joke which would economically enclose France ... well, I think ...

By cons restore power to national banks that yes!
