The threats associated with the GDPR are obvious, but could the GDPR be regarded as an opportunity? Imagine a storage space in your home, be it a closet, the garage, the basement or the attic, and it’s packed from floor to ceiling with stuff. Some of it you could definitely still use, some not!

In 1984 I wrote a multi-threaded NonStop TAL program as part of the SNAX/HLS product set. It was painfully hard. In 2018, I watched a few hours of videos, implemented a deep-learning algorithm, and got listed on the KAGGLE competition leaderboard[1]. I did this to learn about the human brain.

I have a rusty old bicycle tucked away in the back of my garden house. I look at it with warm affection, remembering those bygone days when it carried me around the heather-scented countryside of Brittany in northern France as a teenager.

“Good things come in pairs,” or so we have been led to believe.

I wonder how many readers of “The NonStop Insider” caught the premier of “This is AI” on the Discovery Channel June 22. I found it to be a thoughtful discussion of the topic of Artificial Intelligence.
