The autonomous vehicle market is still underhyped. Next to the Internet, it’s the most profound and transformative technology innovation in our lifetimes. Most people predict it will be 20 years or more until true, level 4 or level 5 autonomous vehicles will be on the roads. But it’s going to happen much sooner.

As the world has become increasingly digital, we harbor the illusion that we are more connected: We’re always available, always communicating, always sharing and always on. But does this increase in internet connectivity actually lead to more connection with the people and things we love? To stronger emotional ties? It seems conversations have been replaced with transactional texts and human interactions have lost their way in the increasingly-complex social-interaction maze.
As we enter a new era of human-computing interaction in which conversational computing emerges as the most convenient and accessible interface, much will be disrupted. In this candid, forward-looking talk on evolving interfaces, interaction paradigms, and communication habits, Ari will explore emerging trends and opportunities related to messaging and human communication.

Not long ago, consumers could access health information about as easily as they could access plutonium. This is changing rapidly in the information age. As a result, consumers—rather than doctors, government, insurers, hospitals, or healthcare companies—will own the Healthcare Century. Any healthcare institution that ignores this trend does so at its peril.

“Today, for the first time in history, stem cell research offers real hope to those whose suffering has previously been considered incurable. The road is long and challenging, but scientists and physician-scientists, empowered by the people of California, have accomplished much. The path to success is within our grasp, if we can sustain the advances of the scientists dedicated to stem cell therapies.” – Americans for Cures

“We’re in the midst of an extraordinary fight and we need every ounce of manpower we can muster, but the good news is, should we succeed,
we’ll have turned the most awful paradigm that we know on it’s head… that is to say, the inevitability of death.” – Laura Deming

Threats that were once on the periphery of investor calculations now have the potential to not only cause serious disruption to otherwise well-thought out investment plans, but to the existence of species. Challenges that threaten humanity’s survival require innovative responses and insights. The power of collaboration can ensure a prosperous future.

Our mission at Americans for Cures is to advocate for stem cell research and therapy development; and, ultimately, to improve the lives of patients and their families suffering from chronic disease and injury.
It is critical that the public is aware of the breakthroughs in stem cell research and therapy developments that have resulted from the passage of Proposition 71: the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative. We at the Americans for Cures Foundation believe it is our responsibility to report back to the 7 million Californians—including 70+ patient advocacy organizations, 30+ Nobel Laureates, 150+ elected officials, 30+ Chambers of Commerce, business and labor groups, and many other key opinion leaders—who voted in support of Proposition 71.
To accomplish this goal, Americans for Cures is driving a patient advocate-led “Report Back to the Public” communications program to empower patient advocates, and to increase public awareness of breakthroughs in stem cell research and therapy development. As part of this Report Back to the Public, Americans for Cures develops accurate, educational content—all of which is vetted by its Scientific Advisory Board, which is comprised of 25 of California’s leading scientists and physician-scientists—and then disseminates that content to the public through a variety of platforms, including social media, online blogs, paid and earned media, patient advocacy organization networks and more.
Americans for Cures provides information and tools to advocates for stem cell research, to empower them and assist with their efforts to:
