  • Okechukwu Ekemezie made a comment
    How would you define leadership?

    Leadership is the opposite of what most people define it.
    Leadership isn't about leading. it's about following from the back(to paraphrase Lao Tsu).
    Hence the true leader isn't the one who leads or is seen all the time, but the one who follows from the back and who gets results done without people seeing his influence.

    Will self-diagnosis result in a loss of jobs?

    Having your Genome sequenced right from the comfy of your home is a good thing but it still needs a clinical bioinformatician to help put you through and provide a second opinion using data available.

  • Okechukwu Ekemezie made a comment

  • Okechukwu Ekemezie made a comment
    From wearable to implantable technology

    A wearable device is still preferable to an implanted device.
    I would prefer wearables.
    The implants can cause some side effects later.

  • Okechukwu Ekemezie made a comment
    Who uses the devices?

    Case 1- the pillcam, because it can help to visualize the small intestine.
    Case 3- the free style libre(CGM) helps to monitor blood glucose in real time always 24/7
    Case 4- Syncardia 70cc, because it can help to keep the heart working and pumping blood.

    Perspectives on intelligence

    I think Fagan's view on intelligence should be taught and implemented in all schools...It's no longer how much you know, it's now a function of how you can process those information so it can be useful in our society.

  • Okechukwu Ekemezie made a comment
    Creative AI: What’s new?

    Klimgeman's statement is true and also false at the same time.
    - it's true we aren't creative everyone steals from his predecessor- no idea is truly unique, 21st century is about knowing how to steal and doing it right.
    - its false because a lot of creativity in man is what brought about AI and other Emerging technologies.
