Journeys of Discovery with Tom Wilmer   /     Journeys of Discovery: Futurist CEO George Jacob’s visions for San Francisco’s new Ecotarium

Description

George Jacob , president and CEO of the Bay Ecotarium , is on the verge of bringing the future to San Francisco. Jacob has plans for the Smithsonian-affiliated Aquarium of the Bay at Pier 39: He and his team are transforming it into something even more vital to our precarious environmental situation—a startlingly unique Climate Resilience and Ocean Conservation Living Museum. Join associate producer and host Laurie McAndish King for a visit with Jacob about the Ecotarium’s artificial emotional intelligence—which allows machines to react to a human’s emotional state in intelligent ways—and its “Mother Portal,” which cyber-curates live streaming environmental data from around the world, bypassing geopolitical boundaries.
