Jared Zelman: Do Math With Einstein

Jared Zelman: Do Math With Einstein

Author: Curiosity Media November 26, 2024 Duration: 49:53

Cal talks with the founder of Cicero – a company that uses artificial intelligence to allow you to have conversations with Aristotle, Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill, Michael Jackson and many other influential figures over the centuries. You see them as they actually looked and hear them in their own voices (when possible). Content is based on records of what they wrote and said. It fulfills a vision of Steve Jobs – who, back in 1985, believed that one day we'd be able to talk to people of this magnitude through the computer. Listen to the story of how it all came together and join the waiting list at heycicero.com.
