Title

Choice Computing - A Humanish and Systemic AI for choosing for Business Agility


Overview

We choose products, careers, life partners - in fact, each and every thing. Choosing is the key activity that can change the overall course of our lives. Since choosing is the core part of our learning, it is necessary to consider how we choose while building machine learning models and ultimately agile businesses. This talk presents thoughts and pathways to build revolutionary humanish Machine Learning models, agile businesses and products with the new paradigm of Machine Learning to adapt behaviorism. It focuses on two aspects - one focuses on architecting choice processes to lead users on the certain choice paths while the second focuses on developing Machine Learning models based on choice paradigm. Beginning with human choice and choice architecting models with stories of choice architects we will further deliberate on developing Machine Learning models and products based on human choice paradigm and machine learning based choice architecting.
