AI’s looming geography problem | Cameron Miner | TEDxPortsmouth

Is artificial intelligence everywhere, or is it only everywhere for the people who need it the least? In this talk, technologist Cameron Miner shares a vision for maximizing the impact of AI for all of humanity, exploring how frameworks like Digital Twins and modular, clean-energy data centers could bring intelligence to the communities and places that need it most. It's time to choose outcomes over income. Cameron Miner is charting a path to preserve human agency in the Age of AI. A parallel entrepreneur and 30-year technology veteran, his track record includes working on the SRI research team whose DARPA-funded work became the da Vinci surgical robot, pioneering wearables at IBM Research, developing the strategic research framework for neural-input AR wristbands at Meta (and earning a patent in the process), and founding the Digital Twin Working Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. He currently serves as Head of Innovation at Frontier Industries, where modular AI data centers and nuclear energy converge. Holding an M.S. in Engineering from Stanford — where he studied human-centered innovation under IDEO founder David Kelley — and a B.S. in Physics from MIT, Cameron is a technologist trying to make technology disappear. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
