What is the POV Technology team's goal in the IBM Watson AI Xprize competition?
To create a model of an end-to-end solution for an artificially generalized intelligence that provides regular people with superhuman reasoning.
POV Technology starts with market research decision science to create a predictive model of human decision-making based on attitudinal measurements of priorities and experiences.
A social network of users provide the supplemental data to augment your reasoning to create your personal artificial intelligence. As the social network grows, the reasoning approaches generalization.
The result is >10X improvement in the quality (depth of knowledge) of your decision and >10X improvement in the time required to make a decision.
The POV decision model predicts your satisfactions with every option of every supported decision. This means every item on the menu or every college in the country, more research than you can practically accomplish.

What is audacious about POV Technology's goal?
Singularity University and Google X encourage moonshot thinking with three conditions: A Huge Problem, Breakthrough Technology and a Radical Solution.
Singularity University and Google X encourage moonshot thinking with three conditions: A Huge Problem, Breakthrough Technology and a Radical Solution.
|
The Huge Problem: Personal information overload.
|
|
We live in the Information Age where the volume of informative data has grown exponentially while our ability to interpret it has not. The most valuable way that we use information is in making personal decisions.
What you need is a method of personal decision-making that could consider your subjective personal priorities and somehow combine them with the knowledge of everybody else's objective experiences to help you make the best possible decisions. |
|
The Breakthrough Technology: A predictive decision-making model.
|
|
POV Technology starts with industry standard quantitative model-based market research decision science to assess people’s attitudes in making decisions.
The breakthrough is how to identify and measure the subjective and objective portions of decision-making. A question is designed in a 5-step process guided by users and POV Technology programming. |
|
The Radical Solution: Crowd source the data from a scalable social network smartphone app to create a generalized augmented intelligence.
|
|
POV is the convergence of survey-based decision science and social networking to create an assembly line of predictive personal decision models.
POV creates an easy to use smartphone app, the “Thinking Cap”, where you rank your subjective priorities for a decision. The social network aggregates everyone's objective experiences and synchronizes that to your device. |
The POV algorithm predicts your personal decision making with reasonable accuracy.
Who will benefit from POV Technology's goal?
To measure total benefit, you must consider the number of people receiving the benefit. Narrowly focused AI's benefit select users and do not scale.
The market for POV is any smartphone owner that makes decisions, approaching 3 billion worldwide by 2020. A freemium model of POV can scale to potentially anyone as smartphones become ubiquitous.
Users become part of a social network with the benefit of democratized intelligence to achieve superhuman reasoning.

Why is POV Technology an "Exponential Organization"?
“These cognitive systems [intelligence automation] are neither autonomous nor sentient, but they form a new kind of intelligence that has nothing artificial about it. They augment our capacity to understand what is happening in the complex world around us.”
Ginny Rometti, CEO IBM Watson.
POV is an augmented intelligence information technology designed from the ground up to be an exponential organization.
As outlined by Peter Diamandis in "Bold", POV Technology satisfies the 6 D's of an exponential technology:

Digitization:
POV Technology uses industry standard market research quantitative decision science to measure subjective priorities and objective experiences to create a predictive model of personal decision-making. Deception: The power of POV will initially be misunderstood. This is a fundamental shift in the way that we reason. The first several decisions to be modeled will appear as novelty predictors of personal human behavior. Once generalized, through the brute force of the POV decision assembly line, a robust personal generalized augmented intelligence will emerge. Disruption: POV technology will disrupt four industries:
Demonetization: POV Technology is designed to provide amplified and accelerated reasoning for free. The value of the user’s data in the system far outweighs the fee for an app. Dematerialization: POV's future direction recognizes the exponential trends in shrinking computers, applications to simpler apps and the proliferation of sensors. Utilizing environmental and biometric sensor data collection, image recognition, natural language processing and machine learning, a POV companion app can sense your decision focus from sensor input only. This paves the way for the first wearable “Killer App” that will be able to answer a question before it is asked. Democratization: POV Technology introduces free social intelligence where everyone contributes (initial profiles and on-going experiences) to everyone's benefit (personalized amplified and accelerated reasoning). |
Why is POV Technology's core technology based on attitudinal measurements rather than behavioral measurements?
POV Technology models human reasoning using attitudinal measurements rather than typical AI-based behavioral measurements in machine learning.
This approach has the following advantages:
The result is an intelligence system with a completely new dynamic:
POV Technology models human reasoning using attitudinal measurements rather than typical AI-based behavioral measurements in machine learning.
This approach has the following advantages:
- POV explains the proportional components of “why” we make decisions rather than being a machine learning black box.
- POV is adaptable on the fly to your personal dynamically changing priorities AND the public's latest experiences.
- POV is completely authored and directed by crowd feedback.
- POV is generalized to the most common decisions that we all face 100's of times per day.
The result is an intelligence system with a completely new dynamic:
With POV Technology, the user is >10X more informed in his researching his decision.
The user’s speed is >10X faster than conventional reasoning.
