A crippling decision-making gridlock that paralyzes companies when they need to move fast remains a constant challenge. As teams strive to create products people love—solving real-world problems—they are constantly hampered by conflicting priorities, limited resources, and a lack of clarity on what matters. Whether it's roadmap planning, backlog grooming, or deciding which features to prioritize, this indecision eats away at time, money, and, most critically, momentum. In this episode, we've invited Yan Grinshtein to discuss the realities of building a startup and leveraging design partnerships to improve the odds of crossing the proverbial chasm. Yan is the founder of Nsight Intelligence Corp. which addresses the problem of fragmented and time-consuming decision-making and prioritization processes in data-rich environments for design and product teams. Specifically, they solve the following challenges: Data Overload, Data & Analytics Disconnect, Inefficient Task Management, Predictive Insights, Productivity Bottlenecks, and Inconsistent Prioritization.

In this episode, we are excited to bring on Dr. Kostikov , a doctor in neurophysiology and an independent researcher, to discuss one of his recent articles on the evolution of AI and particularly how we went down the wrong path. Dr. Kostikov has spent the last 30 years developing the concept of individual AI based on the integration of the human brain and computer system into a single functional complex using a scanning-type brain-computer interface. His concept of individual AI is based on the hypothesis of the existence of a dual system of initiation of nerve impulses in the synapses of the human neocortex and the dynamic concept of quantum spin in a new relativistic or high-speed model of our three-dimensional space. https://bdtechtalks.com/2023/01/06/ai-evolution/…
