Keynote: Theory of Emotional Intelligence

With the advancement of AI, the paradigm shift of blockchain, the media war for the Internet, and escalating emotion, it's time to explore brand new territory – using software as a metaphor to construct a functional model of the human mind. Imagine your brain's logic is written in code. You fire up the debugger, set a breakpoint in the “Self” class, and inspect your brain's internal state. What are the state variables? What does the code look like? How do we fix the bugs?

I.flow() is a theory of consciousness that models motivation behavior of humans using software as a metaphor, because… why not? From the origin of gut feel reasoning, to the feedback loops that drive you, we'll breakdown the functional architecture that makes the universe tick.

I.flow() is the underpinning theory behind MetaOS, the generalized AI platform being pioneered by Open Mastery. In an age where everything is changing faster than ever, and the magic of sci-fi novels is coming to life – we're faced with some of the most difficult questions about what it means to be human:

Who am I? What do I live for? What is the purpose of life?

“I.choose() therefore I.am()”
