# The f(x) = e^x | October 09, 2019

*Good Day! This is my weekly newsletter, with a dose of insights into the future. The topic of this newsletter is the exponential times we live in, hence the title of f(x) = e^x, which is the (natural) exponential function.* 

*Recently, I launched my new concept* [**The Digital Speaker**](https://thedigitalspeaker.com/?ref=thedigitalspeaker.com) *and you can now book me as an avatar or hologram.

### My latest article:

****The development of AI comes with huge risks. Although extensive testing and governance processes are required, not all organisations will do so for various reasons. However, as a society, we should ensure that all organisations – and governments – will focus on developing Responsible AI. This includes using unbiased training data, to minimise the influence of biased developers, to have a mixed data approach to include the wider context, to develop AI that can explain itself and to instil ethics into AI. A daunting task, but one we cannot ignore [if we want to benefit from artificial intelligence in the long run.](https://www.thedigitalspeaker.com/we-should-be-careful-developing-ai/)**

### **Three Useful Nuggets of Information**

*My weekly tips from around the web to get you thinking.*

### 1\. Fancy a steak from space?

At the International Space Station, the Israeli food technology startup Aleph Farms have been growing cow cells into small-scale muscle tissue using a 3D bioprinter. The experiment could help in achieving food security in the future. ([****The Guardian**](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/oct/07/wheres-the-beef-248-miles-up-as-first-meat-is-grown-in-a-space-lab?ref=thedigitalspeaker.com))

### 2\. Rotterdam is building the world’s most advanced port.

In the port of Rotterdam, self-driving ships, smart containers, and autonomous cranes are becoming more common than humans. It is building the most automated port in the world. Everyone is happy, except the dockers. ([****Wired**](https://www.wired.co.uk/article/rotterdam-port-ships-automation?ref=thedigitalspeaker.com))

### 3\. Are you ready for a data disaster? Thank Brexit.

A no-deal Brexit is rapidly approaching and apart from all the logistical and juridical challenges that will appear after October 31, there is also a lesser known problem: data sharing and most companies are not aware of the impending disaster.
