Bio
Edit

Dr. Vivienne Ming explores maximizing human capacity as a theoretical neuroscientist, delusional
inventor, and demented author. Over her career she’s founded 6 startups, been chief scientist at 2
others, and launched the “mad science incubator”, Socos Labs, where she explores seemingly
intractable problems—from a lone child’s disability to global economic inclusion—for free. As the co-
founder and Chief Scientist of Dionysus Health she applies machine learning to lessen the corrosive
health effects of chronic stress in communities. She also develops tools for learning at home and in
school and TBI, models of bias in hiring and promotion, and neurotechnologies to treat dementia, an
outgrowth of her research at UC Berkeley's Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience. In her free time, Vivienne designs AI systems to treat her son’s diabetes, predict manic episodes in bipolar sufferers, and reunite orphan refugees with extended family members. For relaxation, she writes science fiction and spends time with her wife and children. Vivienne was named one of “10 Women to Watch in Tech” by Inc. Magazine and one of the BBC’s 100 Women in 2017. She is featured frequently for her research and inventions in The Financial Times, The Atlantic, Quartz Magazine and the New York Times.

  • S5E14 Utilizing AI as a Tool With Vivienne Ming

    Cindy Moehring chats with Vivienne Ming, a self-described mad scientist, theoretical neuroscientist, AI expert, entrepreneur, author, and is well-known for her research and inventions. The pair discuss the responsible and ethical use of AI as a tool. AI is not able to solve problems that humans don’t know the answers to first. Therefore, the best practice for solving impossible business problems is combining creative people with sophisticated artificial intelligence.
