Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool, but it’s not the magic solution many make it out to be, according to theoretical neuroscientist and entrepreneur Dr. Vivienne Ming. She tells us that AI enhances human capabilities rather than replacing them—and the true power of AI lies in how it can transform the economics of existing solutions. In this episode of Navigating Noise, Dr. Ming draws on her deep experience with AI, neuroscience, and entrepreneurial ventures to discuss how AI can support, but not surpass, human judgment in complex decision-making. Dr. Ming’s career spans founding 5 different companies, including her current venture as CEO and co-founder at Socos Labs, where she tackles real-world challenges with AI-driven solutions. She’s also created innovations in neuroprosthetics, worked in epigenetics to solve postpartum depression, and led startups focused on education and healthcare. Currently, she leads philanthropic initiatives, paying for her team’s research and giving away inventions to solve some of the world’s toughest problems.
