These slides show how the most successful startups of today (Unicorns) are not doing as well as the most successful of 20 to 50 years ago. Today's startups are doing worse in terms of time to profitability and time to top 100 market capitalization status. Only one Unicorn founded since 2000 has achieved top 100 market capitalization status while six, nine, and eight from the 70s, 80s, and 90s did so. It is also unlikely that few or any of today's Unicorns will achieve this status because their market capitalizations are too low, share prices increases since IPO are too small, and profits remain elusive. Only 14 of 45 had share price increases greater than the Nasdaq and only 6 of 45 had profits in 2019. The reasons for the worse performance of today's Unicorns than those of 20 to 50 years ago include no breakthrough technologies, hyper-growth strategies, and the targeting of regulated industries. The slides conclude with speculations on why few breakthrough technologies, including science-based technologies from universities are emerging. We need to think back to the division of labor that existed a half a century ago.
Solow's Computer Paradox and the Impact of AIJeffrey Funk
These slides show why IT has not delivered large improvements in productivity and why new forms of IT like AI will also not deliver large improvements, except in selected sectors. The main reason is that the improvements in AI are over-hyped and because most sectors do not have large inefficiencies in the organization of people, machinery, and materials.
These slides discuss Robert Gordon's recent book, The Rise and Fall of American Growth. He argues that growth was faster between 1870 and 1940 than between 1940 and 2010. Simply put, an American in 1870 would not have recognized life in 1940 but an American in 1940 would recognize life today. These slides discuss what would be needed to change these results and thus make the improvements since 1940 equivalent to those between 1870 and 1940
Start-up losses are mounting and innovation is slowing, but venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, consultants, university researchers, and business schools are hyping new technologies more than ever before. This hype is facilitated by changes in online media, including the rise of social media. This paper describes how the professional incentives of experts and the changes in online media have increased hype and how this hype makes it harder for policy makers, managers, scientists, engineers, professors, and students to understand new technologies and make good decisions. We need less hype and more level-headed economic analysis and this paper describes how this economic analysis can be done.

Irrational Exuberance: A Tech Crash is ComingJeffrey Funk
These slides apply Nobel Laureate Robert Schiller's concept of irrational exuberance (and a book) title to the current speculative bubble of 2019. Over investments in startups and a lack of profitability in them are finally starting to catch up with the venture capital industry and the tech sector that relies on it. Investments by US venture capitalists have risen about six times since 2001 causing the total invested in 2018 to exceed by 40% the peak of 2000, the last big year of the dotcom bubble. But the number of IPOs has never returned to the peak years of 1993 to 2000; only about 250 were carried out between 2015 and 2017 vs. about 1,200 between 1995 and 1997.
The reason is simple: startups are taking longer to go public because they are not profitable. Consider the data. The median time to IPO has risen from 2.8 years in 1998 to 7.7 years in 2016 and the ones going public are less profitable than they were in the past. Although only 22% of startups going public in 1980 were unprofitable, 82% were unprofitable in 2018. The same high percentages of unprofitability have only been achieved twice before, in 1998 and 1999 right before the dotcom bubble burst. Furthermore, startups that have recently done high profile IPOs such as Snap, Dropbox, Blue Apron, Fitbit, Trivago, Box, and Cloudera are still not profitable.
The Slow Growth of AI: The State of AI and Its ApplicationsJeffrey Funk
The failure of IBM Watson, disappointments of self-driving vehicles, slow diffusion of medical imaging, small markets for AI software, and scorching criticisms of Google’s research papers provide evidence for hype and disappointment in AI, which is consistent with negative social impact of Big Data and AI algorithms. There are some successes, but they are much smaller than the predictions, with virtual applications (advertising, news, retail sales, finance and e-commerce) having the largest success, building from previous Big Data usage in the past. Looking forward, AI will augment not replace workers just as past technologies did on farms, factories, and offices. Robotic process automation and natural language processing are likely to play important roles in this augmentation with RPA automating repetitive work, natural language processing summarizing information, and RPA also putting the information in the right bins for engineers, accountants, researchers, journalists, and lawyers. Big challenges include reductions in training time depending on faster computers, exponentially rising demands on computers for high accuracies in image recognition, a slowdown in supercomputer improvements, datasets riddled with errors, and reproducibility problems.
Where are the Next Googles and Amazons? They should be here by nowJeffrey Funk
Great startups aren’t being founded like they were in the 1970s (Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, Genentech, Home Depot, EMC), 1980s (Cisco, Dell, Adobe, Qualcomm, Amgen, Gilead Sciences), and 1990s (Amazon, Google, Netflix, Salesforce.com, PayPal). All of these startups reached the top 100 for market capitalization, but Facebook is the only startup founded since 2000 which has entered the top 100. Tesla and Uber are often discussed as highly successful but they have many times higher cumulative losses than did Amazon at its time of peak losses and neither has had a profitable year despite being older than Amazon was when it achieved profits. Furthermore, few of the recent Unicorn IPOs have experienced shareprice increases greater than those of the Nasdaq (14 of 45), only 3 of these 14 have profits, and only six of them have a
market capitalization over $30 (Zoom), $20 (Square), and $10 billion (Twilio, DocuSign, Okta). America’s venture capital system isn’t working as well as it once did, and the coronavirus will make things worse before the VC system gets better.

MIT's Poor Predictions About TechnologyJeffrey Funk
These slides analyze the 40 predictions of breakthrough technologies that were made betwee 2001 and 2005 by MIT’s Technology Review. Most of them are science-based technologies, and none of the science-based technologies predicted between 2001 and 2005 have markets larger than $10 billion. Among its 40 predictions, only four have markets larger than $10 billion and these technologies have little to do with recent advances in science and instead were enabled by Moore’s Law and improvements in Internet services. MIT also missed many technologies that have achieved market sales greater than $100 billion such as smart phones, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things and other technologies with sales greater than $50 billion such as e-commerce for apparel and tablet computers.
These slides show that the demand for most professions is growing steadily in spite of continued improvements in productivity enhancing tools for them. They also show that AI will have a largely incremental effect on the professions, in combination with Moore's Law, cloud computing, and Big Data. They do this accounting, legal, architects, journalists, and engineers.
How and When do New Technologies Become Economically FeasibleJeffrey Funk
These slides contrast two processes by which new technologies become economically feasible. Some technologies become economically feasible as advances in science facilitate the creation of new concepts and improvements in the resulting technologies. Other technologies become economically feasible as improvements in electronic components (e.g., Moore's Law), smart phones, and the Internet experience improvements.
The document discusses the transition to the "Second Machine Age", where computers, software, big data, and machine intelligence are increasingly able to perform tasks that were previously only doable by humans. This represents a shift from the first Industrial Revolution where machines augmented physical human power. The automation of mental work could both complement and substitute for human labor. While digital technologies create economic growth, they also risk widening inequality between high-skilled workers and those with mid- or low-skills, between capital and labor, and between "superstar" companies and others. Addressing these challenges will require reinventing society and the economy to keep up with accelerating technological change.
The document discusses how the second machine age is unfolding due to digitization and advances in technology. To succeed in this new age, students need to develop skills in ideation, pattern recognition, and complex communication. While technology is increasing economic bounty, it is also exacerbating inequality in wealth, income, and mobility. Winner-take-all markets reward relative over absolute performance, contributing to this growing inequality unless addressed.
GT Briefing March 2012 Technologies Reshaping Our WorldTracey Keys
The document discusses how emerging technologies will reshape the world in the coming decades. It covers technologies that will impact resources like energy and food, reshape production through advances like 3D printing and smart machines, and change daily life with connectivity and smart transportation. Some key impacts include more sustainable energy sources, customized manufacturing in the home, intelligent homes and devices, and new forms of transportation. While change will be difficult for some, emerging technologies will challenge existing systems and redefine value.
The Second Machine Age: An Industrial Revolution Powered by Digital TechnologiesCapgemini
The interview discusses the impacts and implications of emerging digital technologies. Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee explain that the world is entering a "Second Machine Age" where machines are able to perform cognitive tasks previously done by humans. This will have widespread economic and social effects and transform organizations. They emphasize that technology will significantly disrupt jobs but can also create new opportunities if individuals and organizations adapt skills. Overall, the key message is that emerging technologies will continue advancing rapidly, and a proactive response is needed to harness potential benefits and address inequalities.
This document discusses how technology is changing the nature of jobs and the future of work. Key points:
1) Digital technologies are automating routine tasks and jobs that involve structured processes, while human workers will likely shift toward tasks requiring creativity, social skills and innovative thinking.
2) New online platforms are creating "networked work" where freelancers connect directly with clients, taking on more risks but also gaining more control over their work. However, this transition to more flexible work arrangements is not painless.
3) Demand is growing for STEM jobs across many industries as data analysis and computing become more widespread. While some jobs will be automated, technology also has the potential to create new types of jobs

The document summarizes perspectives on the online platform economy and gig workers in the US. It discusses both the opportunities and challenges, noting growing flexibility but also lack of benefits. While reskilling efforts exist, they remain limited and siloed. Moving forward will require upskilling workers with T-shaped skills across technologies, work practices, and mindsets. Platforms and policies should aim to balance winner-take-all approaches with improving opportunities for all.
The Future of Jobs Employment, Skills and Workforce Strategy for the Fourth...Samuel Chalom
This document is a report from the World Economic Forum titled "The Future of Jobs" which examines the impact of emerging technologies on employment, skills, and workforce strategy. It finds that while overall job growth is expected across most industries, skills instability is high across all job categories. This is creating major recruitment challenges and talent shortages for businesses. To prevent increased inequality and unemployment, reskilling and upskilling of today's workers will be critical for both businesses and individuals. Governments will need to create an enabling environment to support these efforts through collaboration between industries, sectors, and improved data and planning metrics.
1) Digital economies are a high priority for governments as they recognize their importance for competitiveness, economic growth, and social well-being.
2) The ICT sector is gaining traction, with exports and research growing significantly in recent years. However, employment in the ICT sector has remained stable.
3) Technologies are converging, with communication networks now carrying TV, video and other services over IP. This is blurring boundaries between telecom and broadcasting.

Jim Spohrer is the director of IBM's Cognitive OpenTech group. He has a background in physics, computer science, and artificial intelligence. Spohrer discusses the concept of Intelligence Augmentation (IA), which aims to enhance human capabilities through socio-technical systems rather than just develop autonomous AI systems. IA is defined as not just developing technology capabilities but also focusing on more responsible and capable people. Spohrer outlines how IA can progress from being a tool, to an assistant, collaborator, coach and mediator. He also discusses the importance of trust between the AI/service science and open source communities.
Each year, Mary Meeker unveils her fascinating Internet Trends presentation. And each year, her insights are inestimable and eagerly awaited.
But each year, I have a problem with her slides. As a presentation designer, I find them rough and busy. To the point it makes them hard to understand.
So this year, here’s my humble attempt at redesigning them !
Do More. Do things that were previously impossible!Tim O'Reilly
My keynote at SxSW Interactive on March 9, 2018. I tackle the job of the entrepreneur to redraw the map, and not to accept the idea that technology will put people out of work rather than creating new kinds of prosperity. I try to provide a call to action to throw off the shackles of the old world and to build a new one. So many companies play defense. Cut costs, watch the competition, follow best practices. Great entrepreneurs like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk play offense. They see the world with fresh eyes, taking off the blinders that keep companies using technology to make slight improvements to existing products and practices, rather than imagining the world as it could be, given the new capabilities that technology has given us.
The document discusses how the pace of change is accelerating due to the 4th industrial revolution involving technologies like robotics, AI, and 3D printing. While improvements generally make life better, there are always winners and losers during periods of disruption. This time, large established corporations are more at risk because new technologies have lowered barriers to entry, making it easier for startups to access global markets. The document argues that corporations need to innovate more proactively through new ways of working, products, and thinking to adapt and avoid being disrupted themselves by more nimble competitors.

This time, large established corporations are more at risk because new technologies have lowered barriers to entry, making it easier for startups to access global markets. The document argues that corporations need to innovate more proactively through new ways of working, products, and thinking to adapt and avoid being disrupted themselves by more nimble competitors.
Maryland's manufacturing sector is relatively small compared to the rest of the US, accounting for only 4% of employment and 5.8% of GDP. While Maryland has gained some jobs recently, they are not in traditional manufacturing industries. Manufacturing is important not just for jobs but for driving broader competitiveness through productivity gains, technology innovation, exports, and R&D spending. New disruptive technologies could transform manufacturing by changing economies of scale and democratizing innovation beyond just large firms. Policies to link small and medium firms to large firms and education, attract foreign investment, support exports, and provide access to technology could help revitalize US manufacturing ecosystems.
The "Unproductive Bubble:" Unprofitable startups, small markets for new digit...Jeffrey Funk
This article will show that the current bubble has produced few profitable startups and involved few if any new digital technologies, nor technologies involving recent scientific advances, and thus it is unlikely that much that is productive will be left once the dust settles. There is a growth in old technologies such as e-commerce but little in new technologies such as AI. The startup losses are also much larger than in the past suggesting that fewer of today’s startups will still exist in a few years than those of 20 years ago.
The world of venture capital has seen huge changes over the past decade. Ten years ago there were fewer than
20 known unicorns in the US5
; there are now over 2006
. Annual investment of global venture capital has increased
more than fivefold over the same period, rising to $264 billion by 2019. This investment has been dominated by the
tech sector harnessing digital frontiers to disrupt traditional industries – including cloud computing, mobile apps,
marketplaces, data platforms, machine learning and deep tech.7
It is an ecosystem that acts as the birthplace for
innovation and brands that can shape the future of consumerism, sectors and markets.
As COVID-19 has taken hold of the
world, the question of whether venture
capital, and early stage investing more
broadly, is backing and scaling the
innovations our world really needs has
never been more pertinent. Life science
and biotech investing is an asset class
perhaps most resilient and relevant to
the short-term impact of COVID-19,
but there is another impact-critical
investment area that is emerging as
an increasingly important investment
frontier: climate tech.
This research represents a first-ofits-kind analysis of the state of global
climate tech investing. We define what
it is and show how this new frontier
of venture investing is becoming a
standout investing opportunity for the
2020s. Representing 6% of global
annual venture capital funding in 2019,
our analysis finds this segment has
grown over 3750% in absolute terms
since 2013. This is on the order of 3
times the growth rate of VC investment
into AI, during a time period renowned
for its uptick in AI investment.8
Looking forward can climate tech in the
2020s follow a similar journey to the
artificial intelligence (AI) investing boom
in the 2010s? The substantial rates of
growth seen in climate tech in the late
2010s, and the overarching need for
new transformational solutions across
multiple sectors of the economy,
suggests yes. The stage appears set
for an explosion of climate tech into the
mainstream investment and corporate
landscape in the decade ahead.
Summary of the Book Exponential organizationsGMR Group
Happy Morning
I have made a small attempt to summarize this book after reading this number of times.
In this book Salim Ismail gives a deep dive – Exponential Organizations where he shows how any company, from Startup to a multi-national , can become exponential.
The author unveils years of research learning how organizations can accelerate growth through use of Technology. The goal of the book is to provide you with the knowledge to leverage assets such as big data, communities, algorithms, and new technology to achieve performance ten times better than your competition.
It is good book for entrepreneurs who need a guide for harnessing and strategizing the hyper growth of a company that feeds off of modern technology in the 21st century and beyond.
Because we focus on accelerating technologies and the future we identified an infection point in how we build businesses that has never noticed before.
Most CEOs see innovation as product or service innovation. But there is also process innovation, social innovation, organizational innovation, management innovation, business model innovation etc.
Those business that do not evolve , will not survive
Happy Reading
The document discusses three major technological revolutions - the first based on steam power, the second on electricity and oil, and predicts a third based on digital technology and renewable energy. It notes that while new technologies have historically raised living standards, current productivity growth is slow. Several reasons for this are proposed, including the cost of transition between old and new technologies across many industries simultaneously. The document advocates for a new "doughnut economy" model and a shift to a third industrial revolution based on renewable energy infrastructure to help address economic and social challenges.
1. The document discusses how the most successful organizations approach innovation differently than others. It finds that outperforming organizations are more likely to have dedicated innovation teams and measure financial returns from innovation investments.
2. Outperforming organizations also explicitly align innovation with business goals and embrace open innovation processes. They establish structures and cultures that encourage innovation.
3. The nature of innovation is changing and increasingly occurs within ecosystems and involves consumers. Technology also drives more open and collaborative innovation across organizations.
More than Magic - IBM Institute for Business Value FiweSystems
The document discusses how the most successful organizations approach innovation. It finds that top performers are 37% more likely to embrace open innovation, 79% more likely to have dedicated innovation teams, and 48% more likely to measure financial returns from innovation investments. These organizations structure themselves and culture to support innovation, source new ideas from various places including big data, and rigorously measure innovation results. The nature of innovation is also changing, with consumers now directly involved in activities like co-design, and ecosystems defining new types of collaborative innovation across enterprises.
The document discusses the importance of entrepreneurship and small businesses to the US economy. It notes that small businesses represent 99.7% of all employer firms, employ half of private sector employees, pay 45% of private payroll, and have generated 60-80% of net new jobs annually over the last decade. Additionally, small firms produce 13-14 times more patents per employee than large firms that are twice as likely to be highly cited. The internet has become increasingly important for small businesses, with online retail sales in the US expected to double from 2005 to 2010.

The document provides an overview of the European startup ecosystem and its progress in recent years. It notes that Europe has closed the gap with Silicon Valley in terms of startup formation and venture capital-backed exits. However, it will be critical to maintain this momentum to remain relevant globally. A new public data platform called EuropeanStartups.co will be launched in 2020 to provide data and intelligence to help stakeholders and inform policymaking. The initiative aims to showcase strengths and address weaknesses to help the ecosystem weather the current COVID-19 crisis and emerge stronger.

Commercialization of Science: What has changed and what can be done to revit...Jeffrey Funk
This paper several changes that I believe may have reduced America’s ability to develop science-based technologies. I make no claims about the completeness. I begin with the growth of university research and then cover several changes it engendered, including an obsession with papers, hyper-specialization of researchers, and huge bureaucracies, also using the words of Nobel Laureates and other scientists to make my points.
2000, 2008, 2022: It is hard to avoid the parallels How Big Will the 2022 S...Jeffrey Funk
These slides summarize the recent share price declines for new startups, declines that are driven by huge annual and cumulative losses and it contrasts today's bubble with those of 2000 and 2008. It shows that today's bubble involves bigger startup losses than those of the 2000 bubble and that the markets of new technologies have not grown to the extent that those of past decades did. Many hedge funds, VCs, and pension funds are heavily invested in these startups. Some of them are also highly leveraged.
Ride Sharing, Congestion, and the Need for Real SharingJeffrey Funk
Current ride sharing services are not financially sustainable. Although they provide more convenience than do taxi services, they are experiencing massive losses because they have the same cost structure as do taxis and thus must compete through subsidies and lower wages. After all, they use the same vehicles, roads, and drivers, and only GPS algorithms and phones are new.
They also increase congestion. Just as more private vehicles or taxis on the road will increase congestion, more ride sharing vehicles also increase congestion.
These slides describe new ways to use the technologies of ride sharing to reduce congestion along with costs while at the same time keeping travel time low. This can be done through changing public transportation systems or allowing private companies to offer competing services. For instance, current bus services, whether they are private or public, need to use the algorithms, GPS, phones and other technologies of ride sharing to revise routes, schedules and the premises that currently underpin public transportation. There is no reason a bus should be certain size, stop every 200 meters, or follow the same route all day. Algorithms and phones enable new types of routes in which designers simultaneously minimize time travel and maximize number of passengers transported per vehicle.hour.
Using the percent of top managers in IPOs (initial public offering) as a proxy for an industry’s/technology’s scientific intensity, this paper shows that the percentage of IPOs and of venture capital financing for science-based technologies has been declining for decades. Second, the percentage of PhDs among the top managers in science intensive industries is also declining, suggesting that their scientific intensities are falling. Third, the age of these top managers rose during the same period suggesting that the importance of experiential knowledge has increased even as the importance of PhDs and thus educational knowledge has decreased. Fourth, the numbers of IPOs and of venture capital funding are not increasing for newer science-based industries such as superconductors, solar cells, nanotechnology, and GMOs. Fifth, there are extreme diseconomies of scale in the universities that produce the PhD-holding top managers, suggesting that universities are far less effective at doing research than are companies. These results provide a new understanding of science and technology, and they offer new prescriptions for reversing slowing productivity growth.
This paper addresses the types of knowledge that are needed in entrepreneurial firms using a unique data base of executives and directors for all IPOs filed between 1990 and 2010. Using highest educational degrees as a proxy for educational knowledge, it shows that 85% of those with PhDs are concentrated in the life sciences and ICT (information and communication technology) industries and second, that those in the ICT industries are concentrated at lower layers in a “digital stack” of industries, ranging from semiconductors and other electronics at the bottom layer to computing and Internet infrastructure at the middle layer and Internet content, commerce, and services in the top layer. Third, industries with fewer PhDs have more bachelor’s and MBA degrees suggesting that PhDs are being replaced by them and not M.S. degrees. Fourth, age is higher for industries with the most PhDs thus suggesting a greater need for experiential knowledge in industries with greater needs for educational knowledge. Fifth, the number of Nobel Prizes tracks industries with high fractions of PhDs.
beyond patents:scholars of innovation use patenting as an indicator of innova...Jeffrey Funk
This paper discusses the problems with using patents as a measure of innovation and papers as a measure of science. It also uses data to show the problems. for example, the number of patent applications and awards have grown by six times since 1984 while productivity growth has slowed.
LED lighting has improved dramatically due to two mechanisms: creating new materials that better exploit electroluminescence, and geometrical scaling. New semiconductor materials like GaInN emit different colors with higher efficiency. Larger wafer sizes and production equipment lower costs. LED efficiency has increased from 0.0001 to over 100 lumens per watt, costs have plummeted, and the Department of Energy projects further increases. Both smaller LED sizes and larger scales drive these ongoing improvements.
These slides discuss how to put context back into learning. Farm and other work at home once provided a context for learning, but this context has become much weaker as work at home as mostly disappeared Students once learned mostly from parents because they worked on farms, fixed things at home, and prepared meals. These activities provided a "context" for school learning, a context that has been mostly lost. These slides discuss how this context can be put back into learning and the implications for the types of people best suited for teaching and the way to train them.
Technology Change, Creative Destruction, and Economic FeasibiltyJeffrey Funk
After showing that the costs of most electronic products are from electronic components, these slides show how the iPhone and iPad became economically feasible through improvements in microprocessors, flash memory, and displays.
What does innovation today tell us about tomorrow?Jeffrey Funk
1) The document discusses two processes of technological innovation - the science-based process and the Silicon Valley process.
2) Analysis of successful startups found that few cited scientific papers in their patents, indicating few innovations arose from the science-based process.
3) Predicted breakthrough technologies from MIT's Technology Review also showed that most science-based predictions led to small market sizes, while technologies not predicted became very large markets.
Creative destrution, Economic Feasibility, and Creative Destruction: The Case...Jeffrey Funk
This paper shows how new forms of electronic products and services such as smart phones, tablet computers and ride sharing become economically feasible and thus candidates for commercialization and creative destruction as improvements in standard electronic components such as microprocessors, memory, and displays occur. Unlike the predominant viewpoint in which commercialization is reached as advances in science facilitate design changes that enable improvements in performance and cost, most new forms of electronic products and services are not invented in a scientific sense and the cost and performance of them are primarily driven by improvements in standard components. They become candidates for commercialization as the cost and performance of standard components reach the levels necessary for the final products and services to have the required levels of performance and cost. This suggests that when managers, policy makers, engineers, and entrepreneurs consider the choice and timing of commercializing new electronic products and services, they should understand the composition of new technologies, the impact of components on a technology's cost, performance and design, and the rates of improvement in the components.
Designing Roads for AVs (autonomous vehicles)Jeffrey Funk
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) represent one of the most promising new technologies for smart cities and for humans in general. The problem is that cities will not realize the full benefits from AVs until roads are designed for them. Until this occurs, their main benefit will be the elimination of the driver and steering wheel, which will reduce the cost and increase the capacity of taxis; but even this impact will not occur for many years because of safety concerns. Thus, in the near term, the main benefit of AVs will be free time for the driver to do emails and other smart phone related tasks.
A better solution is to design roads for AVs or in other words, to constrain the environment for AVs in order to simplify the engineering problem for them. For example, designing roads so that all vehicles can be controlled by a combination of wireless communication, RFID tags, and magnets will reduce the cost of AVs and increase their benefits. Only AVs would be allowed on these roads, they are checked for autonomous capability at the entrance, and control is returned to the driver when an AV leaves the road. Existing cars can be retrofitted with wireless modules that enable cars to be controlled by a central system, thus enabling cars to travel closely together. The magnets and RFID tags create an invisible railway that keeps the AVs in their lanes while wireless communication is used for lane changing and exiting a highway (Chang et al, 2014; Le Quesne et al, 2014). These wireless modules, magnets and RFID tags will be much cheaper than the expensive LIDAR that is needed when AVs are mixed with conventional vehicles on a road.
The benefits from dedicating roads to AVs include higher vehicle densities, less congestion, faster travel times, and higher fuel efficiencies. These seemingly contradicting goals can be achieved because AVs can have shorter inter-vehicle distances even at high speeds thus enabling higher densities, lower congestion, and lower travel times. The less congestion and thus fewer instances of slow moving or stopped vehicles enable the vehicles to travel at those speeds at which higher fuel efficiencies can be achieved (Funk, 2015). In combination with new forms of multiple passenger ride sharing, the higher fuel efficiencies will also reduce carbon emissions and thus help fight climate change.
The challenge is to develop a robust system that can be easily deployed in various cities and that will be compatible with vehicles containing the proper subsystems. Such a system can be developed in much the same way that new cellular systems are developed and tested. Suppliers of mobile phone infrastructure, automobiles, sensors, LIDAR, 3D vision systems, and other components must work with city governments and universities to develop and test a robust architecture followed by the development of a detail design.
What enables improvements in cost and performance to occur?Jeffrey Funk
These slides discuss the design changes that enable improvements in cost and performance to occur. The main types of design changes that lead to improvements are: 1) reductions in scale (e.g., transistors and Moore's Law); 2) creation of new materials; 3) increases in scale (e.g., internal combustion engines, oil tankers, production equipment). Some technologies experience these improvements directly and some indirectly through the impact of components on higher-level systems.
Moore’s Law is slowing, but more importantly the world is changing from PCs to smart phones and cloud computing where improvements continue to occur. Improvements are still occurring in other types of ICs such as wireless, GPUs, and 3D camera chips because they lag microprocessors and parallel processing is easier on them than on microprocessors. Data centers are also experiencing rapid improvements as changes in architecture are made, particularly for analyzing unstructured data, i.e., Big Data. These slides discuss the implications for new services in areas such as smart phones, software, and Big Data. The last one-third of the slides summarize alternatives to silicon and von Neumann.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to show how the cost and performance of biometrics are improving rapidly, making many new applications possible, particularly for fingerprinting in phones. Improvements in cameras and other electronics are making optical, capacitive, and ultrasound sensors better. Improvements in microprocessors are making the matching algorithms operate faster and with higher accuracy. We expect biometrics to become widely used in the next few years beginning with smart phones and followed by automobiles, homes, and offices. Better biometrics in smart phones will promote security and mobile commerce.
Dynamic Pricing: Past, Present, and FutureJeffrey Funk
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to show how the cost and performance of gas sensors are improving rapidly, making many new applications possible.
Autonomous Vehicles: Technologies, Economics, and OpportunitiesJeffrey Funk
National University of Singapore students presented on autonomous vehicles, including their evolution, enabling technologies like sensors and connectivity, infrastructure needs, and entrepreneurial opportunities. Key points discussed include autonomous vehicles producing large amounts of data, 5G enabling low latency required for applications, dedicated lanes and platooning potentially increasing road capacity, and autonomous vehicles reducing fuel costs, traffic, and accidents while creating new business models.
These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to show how the cost and performance of micro-fluidics are improving. Miro-fluidic devices have small micro-channels that analyze many types of fluidics. They can be fabricated from many materials including paper, textiles, and plastics. Plastics are the most recent to emerge and their fabrication relies on many of the same techniques that are used to fabricate integrated circuits. This means that they have been experiencing very rapid improvements as fabrication techniques are improved for ICs and then used to make micro-fluidic MEMS. (micro-mechanical electrical systems). Micro-fluidics are widely used in health care to analyze bacteria in water, glucose in sweat, nitrate contamination in water, and the blood of mosquitoes. Emerging applications include analysis of blood for early cancer detection.
These slides analyze the impact of improved cloud computing on the ability to provide better real-time security, These improvements are changing security from a batch to a real-time world in which terrorists and other criminals can be more quickly captured.
L'indice de performance des ports à conteneurs de l'année 2023SPATPortToamasina
Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.

More Money than Amazon
8. Will Ex-Unicorns Reach Top 100 Market Cap Status?
Two are 1/5 of the way to $98 market cap with >$20B
Both have share price increases greater than Nasdaq increases and
they had profits in 2019 (Zoom and Square)
Ten are 1/10 of the way, with >$10B market cap
But only 3 had share price increases > Nasdaq increases
And none had profits in 2019
Will Zoom make it to top 100 market cap, or Tesla or Uber?
By the way, only fintech is profitable, and what will happen to
Unicorns that have yet to do IPOs (479, $1.4 trillion valuation)
9. Why Are Unicorns Doing Worse than past ones?
One hypothesis: new startups acquired by large incumbents
before achieving top 100 market cap status
All founded since 2000: Youtube, Instagram, GitHub, Linkedin and
WhatsApp.
But all successful startups made acquisitions. Microsoft obtained Power
Point, through acquisition
A bigger problem is acquisition argument assumes new startups
must challenge strong incumbents
Successful startups avoided strong incumbents by commercializing new
technologies not within interests of strong incumbents.
Silicon Valley evolved from semiconductor companies to disk drives,
networking equipment, PCs, workstations, software products and then
Internet in 1990s
10. Problem is No Breakthrough Technologies
Ride sharing and food delivery use same vehicles, drivers, and roads
as did previous taxi services
Online sales of juicers, mattresses, and exercise bikes are sold in same
way Amazon currently sells almost everything
New business software enables more cloud-based work, not a huge
advantage during normal times
Fintech startups use algorithms to find low-risk borrowers or
insurance subscribers, but advantages are still small
Online education may deliver content differently, but it is the same
content
In all these cases, the technology is not revolutionary.
11. Regulated Industries and Hyper-Growth Strategy
Harder to succeed in regulated Industries
Taxi services regulated because of congestion, which plagues ride
sharing and challenges scooters and bicycle rentals
Fintech challenging traditional banking companies
Education startups fighting highly regulated industry and huge clash
between public and private schools
Hyper-Growth Strategy prevents experimentation
Startups have subsidized users in effort to grow, thus bypassing
experimentation
Ride sharing, food delivery, fintech, e-commerce startups copy leaders
Unicorns can’t survive without subsidies

13. Why So Few Science-Based Technologies?
Change in Division of Labor
1940s – 1960s: AT&T, IBM, Motorola, GE, RCA,
DuPont, Monsanto did basic research
Today: universities train PhDs, write papers, obtain
funding, but little work with companies
Hyper-Specialization at Universities
Exponential growth in journals, papers, and citations
to papers
Growing emphasis on science in engineering research
>144 Nature journals
Today’s top university scientists are drowning in
academic papers, journals, patents, and admin work

The Increasing Limitations of Academic Experts: Narrower Specializations and Less Practicality
Even as Problems Become More Complex, Working Paper
16. Falling Research Productivity
Drugs
Number of drugs per billion dollars of R&D dropped about 80 times in last
50 years
Number of researchers per commercialized drug rose by almost five times in
last 50 years
Number of researchers required to maintain the same rate of increase
in crop yields rose 6 to 24 times (corn, soybeans, cotton, wheat)
between 1970 and 2010
R&D needed to sustain Moore’s Law has risen in recent decades
Number of drugs per $billion from Nature article by Scanlan et al, 2012
Other data on drugs, and crops and Moore’s Law from Are Ideas Getting Harder to Find
17. Falling Research Productivity - Continued
R&D productivity has fallen across a wide variety of industries
Revenue growth per research dollar has fallen by about 65% over the last
30 years (Anne Marie Knott)
Importance of Nobel Prize winning research in physics has
declined over last century
Few Nobel Prizes have been awarded for research done since 1990 not
only in physics, but also for chemistry and medicine (Atlantic article)
22. Moore’s Law is
slowing and
evidence
of other
technologies
experiencing
rapid rates of
improvement
Is difficult to find
I covered these
issues in my course
at NUS from 2009
to 2016
23.
24. Moore’s Law enabled these product by reducing their costs and
improving their performance
With Moore’s Law slowing, new types of electronic products (VR, AR,
robots, commercial drones, blockchain, AI) will take much longer to
emerge and diffuse
25.
26. Improvements in Other Technologies in Table
No more improvements in cost and performance?
Microprocessors, memory chips, camera chips
Superconductors, DNA sequencers (nothing since 2015)
Improvements but little impact?
Magnetic storage, Organic transistors
Soon to be slowing?
WiFi, cellular speeds and cost; liquid crystal displays
Batteries? As car batteries catch up with laptop batteries?
Continued improvements in cost and performance?
OLED displays
Silicon, organic, perovskite, quantum dot solar cells
LAN, Internet speeds
27. Mag lev to hyperloop
Micro-finance to fintech
Stem cells to gene editing
Telematics to IoT
Ride sharing to MaaS
Forgotten about solar water heaters, fusion,
cellulosic ethanol, strategic defense initiative
Hype about new technologies:
Proponents Replace Old Ones with New Ones
Even Though Old Ones Provide Lessons
28. Why I am Pessimistic about AI
Growth much slower than forecasts
$15 trillion in economic gains expected by 2030 but only $10
billion in 2018, $15b in 2019, and $23B (est) in 2020
Growth still stuck in news, advertising, and e-commerce
Few startups offer products and services that directly
impact on productivity (IEEE Spectrum)
Solow’s Paradox and small impact of bar codes in retail
(reduced grocery costs by 1.3%)
Little success in driverless vehicles or manufacturing
29. Why I am Pessimistic about AI - continued
Limitations of Big Data revealed in 2016 book, Weapons
of Math Destruction by Cathy O’Neil
Limitations of AI revealed in
AI Delusion by Gary Smith (2018)
Rebooting AI by Gary Marcus (2019)
Computational power used to achieve higher accuracies has been
doubled every 3.4 months
300,000-times increase in capacity after 2012
Head of Facebook AI (Jerome Presenti) says this is
unsustainable. "If you look at top experiments, each year cost is
going up 10-fold. An experiment might be in seven figures, but
it’s not going to go to nine or 10 figures, it’s not possible,
nobody can afford that."
32. Lot of Misleading Hype
Misleading hype in health care: failure of Watson
Misleading hype in energy:
DeepMind did not reduce energy usage at a Google data centers nor for
UK economy; Economist claims “some insiders say such boasts are
overblown,”.
Nest did not reduce energy usage in homes, nor did general subsidies for
smart meters do so
And these propagators of hype are big money losers
DeepMind’s 2018 losses reached $572 million in 2018, up from $154
million in 2016 and $341 million in 2017, on revenues of $124 million.
Nest lost $621 million on revenues of $726 million in 2017.
33. Lots of Misleading Hype - continued
Stanford University’s Artificial Index 2019 Annual Report is filled with hype; no market
data or examples of successful products and services
Presents 300,000 times increase in computational power used in training exercises as
good sign, but industry people say otherwise
Head of Facebook AI says this is unsustainable. "each year the cost is going up 10-fold. Right
now, an experiment might be in seven figures, but it’s not going to go to nine or 10 figures, it’s
not possible, nobody can afford that."
Report fails to address impact of increase in computational capacity on improvements in
accuracy or reductions in time and cost of training exercises, such as in image
recognition.
How much are these trends a result of better machine learning algorithms or more parallel
processing with bigger computers? If it is latter, limits will likely cause a slowdown in image
recognition improvements
