Episode description

"Prediction is easy unless it is about the future," said Danish physicist Niels Bohr. Yogi Berra apparently said something similar so it's unclear who was the original source of the quote. Regardless, the fact is that predictions are crucial in helping us deal with almost every aspect of life. 

In the last few years, there has been increasing interest and research in how human beings really think. Cognitive biases and other tendencies show a major subconscious effect of thinking, perception and decision-making. Now, a company has incorporated these tendencies into their predictive analytics with great success. IntualityAI has shown superior long term success with its predictive analytics in various fields specifically in financial markets, sports, elections and health. 

In this episode, Founder and President of IntualityAI Grant Renier discusses the theory and application of analytics that simulates the human thought process.
