Neil Watson

Nell was born in Northern Ireland and is an engineer, entrepreneur, and futuristic thinker. She has an eternal interest in the philosophy of technology and how to drive emerging social trends by enhancing human abilities. Neil has an unusual career experience. At the age of 24, she taught master's computer science courses and later successfully founded a graffiti art company with others. By combining technology and humanities, she is able to convey complex topics to the audience in a simple and understandable way. In 2010, Neil established Poikos, dedicated to applying artificial intelligence technology driven by machine learning to body measurements. Nell's patented technology achieves the effect of a 3D body scanner, which can provide accurate 3D body scanning through 2D camera devices such as smartphones and tablets. At the same time, this technology can also be used in numerous markets such as mass customization and hygiene. Nell is adept at taking the long run. She is a senior advisor to the Harvard Future Association and a technical advisor to multiple startup companies, accelerators, and venture capital funds. She is the co founder of the ethical interpretation engine OpenEthorg, dedicated to crowdsourcing ethical heuristics to automated systems. In her spare time, Neil enjoys writing game code, such as Founder Life, the founder of her entrepreneurial life simulator. This game attempts to cultivate a psychological habit of concentration among entrepreneurs, so that they can continue to perform work tasks coherently even under pressure. She also wrote two easy to understand philosophy books, one for business leaders and the other for children's readers. Neil delivers speeches on machine intelligence, artificial intelligence philosophy, human-machine relationships, and the future of human society worldwide. She is also an associate professor of artificial intelligence and robotics at Singularity University.
