In today’s episode of The Convergence podcast, our “rock star” proclaimed Mad Scientists — Dr. James Giordano and Dr. James Canton — return to discuss the transformative convergence of neuroscience and artificial intelligence and its implications for the Operational Environment — Read on!] Proclaimed Mad Scientist Dr. James Giordano is Pellegrino Center Professor in th by The Convergence - An Army Mad Scientist Podcast
