Is Artificial Intelligence (or AI) going to take over the World! Are Humans becoming redundant? What will AI do to financial marketplaces? How will you be able to use AI to dominate global markets?
For this podcast, Dave Erickson and Botond Seres are going to try to peer into the looking glass to our future with AI, by talking with Noah Healy - CEO of Coordisk.
Early in Noah’s career, he used computational mathematics and software development capabilities to develop automations that boosted internal productivity, drove client efficiencies and improved regulatory compliance.
Most recently he founded Coordisc and developed Coordinated Discovery Markets (also known as CDM), a technology product that has the potential to completely reorder the global financial system.
CDM establishes a better exchange market for commodities by conducting all trades at market-clearing prices with radically improved price discovery, lower total cost of transactions and the elimination of hedging needs.
Today, we are going to delve into AI and the future of marketplaces, and try to figure out if AI can help us make a better world… that will hopefully still include Humans in it.

Additional Info - From Noah’s Bio:
When I look at the common thread that runs through all of my professional experiences, it is clear that I love to combine mathematics with technology to produce game-changing solutions. My inspiration came from my formal education, work experience and the breakthrough innovations developed by Alan Turing (and Frege and Church before him). Turing imagined machines with amazing computational power and ultimately brought them to life. His innovations tipped the scales of WWII and set the stage for the information revolution – of which I am an active part.
Early in my career, I used computational mathematics and software development capabilities to develop automations that boosted internal productivity, drove client efficiencies and improved regulatory compliance. Most recently I founded Coordisc and developed CDM, a technology product that has the potential to completely reorder the global financial system. CDM establishes a better exchange market for commodities by conducting all trades at market-clearing prices with radically improved price discovery, lower total cost of transactions and the elimination hedging needs. Only a fraction of current tradeflow can get this product off the ground and prove its power. From there, CDM can be scaled rapidly.
It is not lost on me that I have an enormous responsibility to produce algorithmic technology products that drive results, but also protect ethics and morality. One does not need to look beyond recent financial crises or the

Additional Info:Jeff Swartz has almost two decades of experience in advertising and entrepreneurship. He is the founder and CEO of Ethic Advertising Agency which specializes in hyper-targeted  digital advertising and creative services. Jeff and Ethic Advertising have been recognized by the Telly Awards, Top 100 Magazine and the Hermes Creative Awards. He is also the author of the e-book “9 Reasons Advertising Doesn't Work.”  Recently, Jeff and his team have released the first and only self-serve geofence advertising platform built for small businesses called Qujam. 
Geofence advertising uses GPS data (and Wi-fi data if available as a second data check) to identify devices that have been at a specific location during a specific period of time. We then serve OTT, CTV, banner/display, and/or video pre-roll advertisements to the device in the geofence and other devices connected to the originally captured device.
In other words, Qujam will allow you to serve digital ads to people who were physically at a hyper-specific location like your competitor's store, a service area/neighborhood, your own store location(s), people within walking distance to you, your customer's place of work, and more.
