John du Pre Gauntt, The Augmented City
John du Pre Gauntt assumes a multi-trillion node urban network of digital and cognitive technologies by 2030. It won’t be infrastructure. It will be environmental habitat for humanity. By 2030, cities and mega-cities will shelter most of the world’s people; most of the world’s economy; most of the world’s problems; and most of the world’s innovations. John explores this new territory as the host & curator of The Augmented City Podcast --- a multimedia series exploring the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Urban Life. John earned a Master of Science with Distinction in Information Systems from the London School of Economics. He holds certificates in Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things from MIT Sloan School and the MIT Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). A lifelong martial artist, John holds black belts in three disciplines and advanced rank in a fourth. He has competed at national and international levels in karate and Brazilian jiujitsu.
