  • Contract Review and Approval – Shmuli Goldberg, VP of Marketing at LawGeex – How Artificial Intelligence Is Improving and Automating Contract Review for Businesses Worldwide

    Contract Review and Approval – Shmuli Goldberg, VP of Marketing at LawGeex – How Artificial Intelligence Is Improving and Automating Contract Review for Businesses Worldwide

    Shmuli Goldberg, VP of marketing at LawGeex (lawgeex.com), delivers a complete analysis of the inherent problems of the contract review and approval process that businesses contend with daily, and how artificial intelligence is making the work easier via automation. Goldberg has abundant experience in the areas of legal operations, analytics, and optimization with the special focus on helping legal teams reach their maximum potential. He served as senior technology evangelist at ClickTale, as well as director of marketing at Feedvisor. Goldberg is a regular guest and speaker at varied industry conferences across the globe.

    Goldberg’s team at LawGeex works on advanced contract solutions for business. LawGeex offers award-winning software that automates the process of review and approval for everyday contracts. With a specialty in transformation of legal operations, LawGeex implements artificial intelligence solutions to aid legal teams with automation, thus facilitating in-house legal work, making it easier, more efficient and impactful—automation that enables their customers to focus on their overall mission and goals with less time needed for paperwork. Industry leaders acknowledge that inefficiency costs time, wastes money, and it lowers employee morale.

    Goldberg discusses the many problems that are specific to contract review and approval, and how LawGeex employs the most advanced artificial intelligence, machine learning, natural language processing, and text analysis to assist with the review, comprehension, and ultimately approval or disapproval of a legal contract. He discusses the LawGeex platform and how it assists users to analyze their contracts’ contents and thoroughly compare to their legal team’s predefined criteria and input, or to their industry’s accepted benchmarks. By giving experienced lawyers the opportunity to focus on more complex work, and removing the grunt work from their day, attorneys can have more productive, satisfying days.

    Goldberg states that it is inevitable that artificial intelligence will have a standing legal position going forward. He states that the use of technologies will become an accepted standard and future cases will set precedent as those who do not use basic available technology for important tasks such as diagnosis in the medical field, etc. could possibly be found to be negligent when problems arise. And Goldberg elaborates on how most bar requirements insist that attorneys utilize the latest technology in their legal work.

    Goldberg explains the specificity of their platform and how users can detail a long list of things they would like to see in a contract as well as things they do not want to see in a contract, and how the LawGeex AI-enabled software will deliver the results they seek.

    The legal AI expert discusses the future of contracts and legal claims.

    And he explains how AI and human work will coexist almost always, as deviations within software will typically require human interaction.

    As Goldberg explains most automated tasks go forward swimmingly, but in the event, there is a problem, humans decide the best course of action.

  • The Nutrition Advantage – Amy Berger, MS, CNS, NTP, Founder of Tuit Nutrition – Nutrition, Disease, Weight Loss & Cognition—We Are Certainly What We Eat

    The Nutrition Advantage – Amy Berger, MS, CNS, NTP, Founder of Tuit Nutrition – Nutrition, Disease, Weight Loss & Cognition—We Are Certainly What We Eat

    Amy Berger, MS, CNS, NTP, founder of Tuit Nutrition (tuitnutrition.com), provides an extensive overview of nutrition as it relates to good health, disease, cognition, and well being. Berger talks about her family medical history and her concern that there was a lot of disease in that history. She discusses how she grew up as a chubby child and how weight loss solutions that actually work are so important. She recounts her own personal experiences with weight, knowing what it’s like to feel upset when you are counting calories, eating low fat, and exercising, but you still aren’t losing the weight, and your energy and mood is incredibly low. And while Berger learned through her own experimentation that reducing sugar and total carbohydrate intake was the key to successful weight loss, she states that through her extensive research she has found that weight loss is actually the least impressive task that carbohydrate reduction can accomplish.

    Berger is a certified nutrition specialist and nutritional therapy practitioner who served her country in the United States Air Force. Berger’s expertise comes through years of research into low-carbohydrate nutrition, which can help people take back their vitality while eating delicious foods. As Berger states, staying well doesn’t require anyone to starve themselves, deprive themselves of tasty foods, or spend every day at the gym working out constantly. Berger’s business has a strong online presence where she provides a wealth of insightful, detailed information on a wide swath of health and nutrition-oriented topics, from metabolism and weight loss to insulin-related topics, thyroid function, and much more. Berger is the author of The Alzheimer’s Antidote: Using a Low-Carb, High-Fat Diet to Fight Alzheimer’s Disease, Memory Loss, and Cognitive Decline, a must-read for anyone who is concerned with improving health, vitality, and cognition, and finding ways to fight disease. She holds a master’s degree in human nutrition from the University of Bridgeport.

    Berger discusses her extensive research into what she refers to as “nutritional intervention” that can potentially support brain health and assist those who have Alzheimer’s disease. She mentions that those who implement certain nutritional changes in their diet see noticeable improvement in cognition, behavior, and memory. She discusses the science behind the cellular conditions that arise which create a sort of “energy crisis in the brain.” She talks about how cells that aren’t getting energy from glucose anymore can still, remarkably, get energy from ketones. Ketones are a hybrid energy source and Berger states that they are the key to many issues.

    Berger gives an incredibly detailed overview of insulin issues and discusses how normal blood sugar can still contain extremely high levels of insulin, which can potentially cause gout, hypertension, and more. Thus, many people who aren’t actually diabetic can still have lots of chronic health issues due to high insulin levels.

    Berger discusses hyperthyroidism and the issues that pertain to it, such as depression, inability to lose weight regardless of exercise and proper diet, hair loss, a feeling of being cold constantly, constipation and more. And she talks about the dietary myths that exist about various foods, especially proteins. And sadly, as Berger mentions, many doctors are simply not providing adequate testing to truly understand some patient’s issues related to the thyroid.

    The nutrition expert discusses ketosis in depth and how it works for the body. She expounds upon the topics of fat consumption, variability in individuals, and measures people can take to ensure they are getting the most from ketosis. She talks about how some people get hung up on the ratios in their diet, but that each person needs to look at their diet and consider the issues individually, as everybody is unique to some degree.

    As Berger’s voluminous research has shown, there are many myths that exist in regard to how the body processes food and what nutritional habits can or cannot do. And many times the key to understanding obesity, diabetes, heart disease, dementia, mood disorders, and other health issues lies in getting a deeper understanding of our bodies in relation to our diet.

  • Philipp Holl-Technical University of Munich-Wi-Fi Holography and AI-Based Fluid Dynamics

    Philipp Holl-Technical University of Munich-Wi-Fi Holography and AI-Based Fluid Dynamics

    The hologram is a picture of the world as recorded by Wi-Fi,” says Philip Holl, explaining the bachelor’s thesis he completed at the Technical University of Munich. By recording all Wi-Fi signals that pass through a certain plane, Holl was able to create a 3D picture–or a hologram–of every object through which those signals passed. While it was done primarily for academic purposes, the use cases for this technology include indoor and outdoor tracking.

    As a Ph.D. student, Holl has shifted his focus into the world of artificial intelligence and machine learning and is currently working on using artificial intelligence to solve fluid optimization problems. For example, in order for a robot to pick up a glass of water without spilling it, the robot must understand how the water will behave within that glass.

    Holl also discusses a recent project in which he developed AI-based algorithms for determining whether rare events in physics can be classified as real, or are merely background events from other sources. Tune in for an in-depth explanation of all of Holl’s work, and feel free to reach out with questions.

  • The Farm Fresh Factor – Kenneth Wu, CEO of Milk and Eggs – Farm Fresh Food Delivery to Your Door that Provides Better Food and Reduces Negative Environmental Impact

    The Farm Fresh Factor – Kenneth Wu, CEO of Milk and Eggs – Farm Fresh Food Delivery to Your Door that Provides Better Food and Reduces Negative Environmental Impact

    Kenneth Wu, CEO of Milk and Eggs (milkandeggs.com), a local farms food delivery business, provides a detailed overview of the current state of farm fresh foods, delivery, freshness, and environmental impact. As founder and chief executive officer of Milk and Eggs, Wu manages the company’s overall vision and planned growth strategies. As he explains, Milk and Eggs is an online farmers market with a delivery arm. Wu oversees the company’s investor relations as well as the general business development. Wu is a seasoned entrepreneur with over twenty years of business experience with a specialty in startups and new business ventures.

    Wu was the founder of AirSplat, the largest retailer of shooting sports equipment, tactical accessories, and gear where he oversaw the company’s development, growth, and management. And Wu served as president of 2WheelBikes, a popular cycling equipment, and accessories retailer. Other notable entrepreneurial successes in Wu’s long history of business expansion include his founding of Battle Arena, a virtual sports entertainment center and Cast Gear, a prominent tactical clothing and gear retailer.

    Wu explains the process that makes Milk and Eggs work so successfully. He details how their products and foods originate fresh from farms and food makers and are delivered to the consumer. He gives an overview of the methods they utilize to deliver the freshest goods in an efficient manner that is better for the environment as well.

    And as Wu explains, Milk and Eggs can keep prices low because there is no waste, inventory, middlemen, or large inefficient distribution centers and stores that require massive, costly real estate. He outlines the company’s focus on real foods, produce, etc. and discusses why they stay away from what he refers to as “center aisle” products such as chips, sodas, toilet paper, etc.

    The farm fresh entrepreneur discusses their product lines and some of the specialty offerings they provide—curated boxes of items such as farm box, seasonal box, and office meeting box—each delivering different items for niche markets or desires. Additionally, he discusses their unique meal kits that are developed in coordination with local nutritional authorities, for those who really want to maximize their health benefits.

    Wu details their focus on local artisanal products and the immense positive feedback they receive from consumers on these specialty products, from the access to foods that would normally require extensive travel, to the freshness of the ingredients and foods. He enthusiastically states that many of their customers truly praise the quality of their foods and have stated that the level of freshness is much higher than what they can find at their local grocery stores and markets. Wu describes the time frames that typical foods sit around before being purchased or consumed, and how Milk and Eggs have dramatically reduced the ‘sit time’ on foods, which is instantly obvious when consumers taste the freshness.

    The food freshness expert talks about the problem of waste in the food industry and how it is a huge drain on our ecosystem. He talks about the percentage of food that is classified as ‘imperfect’ and what his company and others are doing to cut down on waste. Wu’s goal is to ensure that all food is used by donating to local food banks that support the community and those in need.

    And Milk and Eggs uses minimal packaging and reusable insulated delivery bags to further cut waste, and any plastic bags they use are specially designed to be biodegradable to decrease pollution and cause no harm to wildlife.

  • Biology at the Brink – Pamela Silver, Principal Investigator, Silver Lab – The Bionic Leaf and Advanced Biological Experimentation That Could Help Solve Monumental Environmental and Sustainability Problems

    Biology at the Brink – Pamela Silver, Principal Investigator, Silver Lab – The Bionic Leaf and Advanced Biological Experimentation That Could Help Solve Monumental Environmental and Sustainability Problems

    Pamela Silver is the principal investigator of the Silver Lab (silver.med.harvard.edu) and an Elliot T and Onie H Adams Professor of Biochemistry and Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School. Silver delivers an incredibly interesting and important overview of the biological advances that can help to reduce climate change and improve other pressing global issues through science.

    Silver is a member of the Harvard Wyss Institute and the Harvard University Graduate Program in Systems Biology, as well as the Harvard Medical School BBS Graduate Program and the Harvard Biophysics and Chemical Biology Graduate Programs. Her passionate interest and curiosity with systems to synthetic biology drive her team’s research at Silver Lab.

    Silver’s team works in the arena of systems and synthetic biology to develop, design, and build biological systems in mammalian and prokaryotic cells. Working in a vast and diverse swath of methods and approaches from the computational to experimental, Silver states her team’s overarching mission is to address complex scientific questions that may impact the world and its population on a grand scale. Silver Lab works on many projects annually, from the reconstruction of entire new genomes to the hopeful development of principles for building synthetic cells that act as sensors, bio-computers, and memory devices, as well as the building of novel subsystems such as proteins with designed properties for general therapeutic use.

    Silver discusses her diverse work that tackles health-related issues, sustainability issues, climate change, and beyond, solutions to improve the way we live and interact with our world. She states her philosophy that biology is the best chemistry and talks about her work to replace many chemical industry processes with biological solutions in an effort to decrease stress on the environment overall. She details her “bionic leaf” project, which is a system that uses solar energy to essentially split water molecules and hydrogen-eating bacteria to generate and produce liquid fuels. The system can convert solar energy to biomass and the possibilities for this scientific advance are truly revolutionary. And she notes the particular importance of science-based solutions and the landmark Paris Accord (Paris Agreement), which is a multinational agreement on global warming and greenhouse-gas emissions, as climate change is truly accelerating.

    The biology innovator discusses the future probability of seeing more hydrogen-fueled automobiles and the current pushback against them, from the issues regarding the centralized production of traditional fuel sources, shipping concerns, and politics. And she explains how the push to move electric cars forward has perhaps stymied the hydrogen-fueled industry.

    Silver describes how some of the bacteria that exist within the bionic leaf can be engineered such that they can utilize all the tools for gene editing and gene engineering, and thus place genes into them that program the cells to make things, from molecules that look like biofuels, plastic precursors, and even feedstock for other elements.

    Commanding the knowledge regarding how to program cells in a completely rational way can be extremely valuable for many advanced scientific areas from stem cell design, to drug therapy, and the environment. Silver’s lab strives to utilize a combination of theoretical and experimental approaches to further develop and improve what biology can offer us, in a myriad of ways.

  • Jussi Luntama-European Space Agency’s Lagrange Mission-Viewing Solar Activity From a New Perspective, Preparing for the Next Big Coronal Mass Ejection

    Jussi Luntama-European Space Agency’s Lagrange Mission-Viewing Solar Activity From a New Perspective, Preparing for the Next Big Coronal Mass Ejection

    It’s been about 150 years since the largest known coronal mass ejection (CME)–the ejection of millions of tons of plasma from the sun into space at a speed of 300 kilometers per second. On average, CMEs occur every 100 to 200 years, which means the next big event is inevitable.

    While it won’t threaten life on earth, it will put every satellite system at risk and threaten the safety of astronauts in space.

    As the head of space weather at the European Space Agency, Jussi Luntama discusses the 2018 Lagrange mission that aims to monitor solar activity and more accurately predict the presence and direction of a coming CME. The team working on the ESA Lagrange mission will park a spacecraft at Lagrange points, which are points where the gravitational pull of the sun and earth balance each other out. This will cause the spacecraft to trail the earth’s orbit at a distance of 150 million kilometers for eternity or until intentionally moved, and will allow them to view solar activity from a perspective that’s different from the one they have when looking at the sun from the earth.

    Tune in to hear Jussi Luntama discuss a variety of interesting topics, including the relationship between CMEs and periods of high and low solar activity, the effects of CMEs on power grids, and the launch of the Lagrange spacecraft planned to happen between 2023 and early 2025.

  • Ann Louise Gittleman-Author of the New Book Radical Metabolism: A Powerful New Plan to Blast and Reignite Your Energy in Just 21 Days

    Ann Louise Gittleman-Author of the New Book Radical Metabolism: A Powerful New Plan to Blast and Reignite Your Energy in Just 21 Days

    Ann Louise Gittleman is an award-winning and New York Times best-selling author of over 30 books on a variety of topics, including weight loss, diet, and detoxification.

    Her most recent book, Radical Metabolism: A Powerful New Plan to Blast Fat and Reignite Your Energy in Just 21 Days, relies on the premise that the gallbladder is not a throw-away organ; it is an essential one that’s connected to the health of the thyroid gland and metabolism.

    Dizziness, radiating leg pain, and insomnia is just a few of the seemingly unrelated symptoms that can occur after gallbladder removal, but how do we compensate for this loss, and how can we prevent removal, to begin with? Gittleman offers answers to these questions and many more.

    Her theory that there is a critically important connection between the gallbladder, the thyroid and metabolism are backed by Harvard researchers who found that people who improved their gallbladder health saw a 53 percent increase in metabolism.

    An additional study out of Finland showed that people who have reduced bile flow are seven times more likely to suffer from hypothyroidism.

    Gittleman discusses a range of topics, including the right and wrong types of high-fat diets, why some people might want to stop drinking kombucha, green, and white tea, and the effect of electromagnetic radiation on cortisol levels–something she refers to as “electropollution.”

  • Jarie Bolander, COO-Lab Sensor Solutions-Tracking and Maintaining the Integrity of Medical Samples in Transit

    Jarie Bolander, COO-Lab Sensor Solutions-Tracking and Maintaining the Integrity of Medical Samples in Transit

    There are a wide variety of medical tests and samples that are time, temperature, and handling sensitive; if either one of these factors isn’t properly maintained, then inaccurate results will be delivered, putting the health and lives of patients at risk. With an error rate of 35-40 percent, blood samples taken for the purposes of monitoring chemotherapy are the most vulnerable to becoming compromised by environmental variants encountered before they even reach the machine for analysis, and a variety of other medical samples have an average error rate of between five and eight percent.

    Lab Sensor Solutions is a company that’s developed a system to address this by closely tracking the temperature and location of sensitive medical samples with less than a five-minute delay. How do they do it? Since such sensitive samples should be kept in close proximity to the courier who’s transporting them, Lab Sensor Solutions places Bluetooth-enabled, low-energy temperature sensors inside the containers holding samples, and connects those sensors to the courier’s own mobile device. If a sample has been sitting too long, has reached too high or low of a temperature, or is on a route that will take longer than the sample will stay viable, then an alert will automatically be sent to the courier, the dispatcher, and the supervisor on shift.

    Prior to the implementation of this system, there was no way to identify when a sample was at risk of spoiling, but now the team at Lab Sensor Solutions is seeing on average three to five corrections a day and a significant increase in overall compliance. They already have 12 customers all around the country and are continuing to expand. Tune in and visit Lsstracks.com to learn more.
