Futurist and science speaker Michio Kaku brings the mysteries of the universe within the grasp of everyone. A remarkable keynote speaker, Michio Kaku addresses events on topics ranging from futurism to physics, and even banking.
In one respect, Michio Kaku is a direct intellectual descendent of Albert Einstein. String field theory, which Kaku co-founded, continues Einstein’s quest for a unified theory of physics. In another, Kaku is an immensely popular author, speaker, and television personality who brings cutting-edge research to a mass audience.
His international bestsellers have informed millions of readers and sparked global conversations about humanity’s nature and its future. The God Equation: The Quest for a Theory of Everything tells the story of science’s greatest quest. The Future of the Mind explores the potential of technology to help extend the limits of human thought. The Future of Humanity takes a similar approach to our entire species, including also interplanetary travel and the transfer of consciousness. Moreover, his bestseller Physics of the Impossible was adapted as a 12-part series on The Science Channel.
Additionally, Kaku writes frequently for publications including New Scientist, Wired, and the Wall Street Journal. His deep expertise and remarkable ability to describe complex ideas to wide audiences make him a popular media presence. He was also featured in the Emmy-winning film Me and Isaac Newton, and hosts a popular radio show, Science Fantastic.
He is just as inspiring and energetically optimistic in person as he is in print or on the air. A graduate of Harvard and the University of California at Berkeley, Kaku has taught for more than 30 years at the City University of New York. He now holds the Henry Semat Chair in Theoretical Physics at CUNY.
As an AI expert and theoretical physicist, Michio Kaku is well-equipped to delve into the ways in which artificial intelligence can be used to address issues related to public health. According to Kaku, the ability of AI to process large amounts of data will be particularly useful in helping scientists to identify correlations and underlying causes of diseases. Additionally, AI can be utilized to track hotspots and monitor spikes in internet-connected thermometers, as well as assist in the development and manufacturing of vaccines and therapeutics to respond to all known mutations of a virus. By leveraging the power of AI, Kaku suggests that it will be possible for scientists to effectively combat future outbreaks.
