Emmanuel Maggiori

Emmanuel Maggiori is back at Brain Bar after last year's AI battle! After spending over a decade training machines, he is now on a mission to spread the word behind the deceptively simple mechanisms behind the tech industry's seemingly remarkable achievements. Uncovering unreasonable expectations, defects, shady practices, and outright lies about AI, he published his first revealing book 'Smart Until It's Dumb' in 2023. This year, the industry veteran is coming to Brain Bar with his second volume, Siliconned, on how tech solves fake problems betting not just with investors' money, but also ours.
