Paco is a Managing Partner at Derwen, Inc., a company that offers enterprise customers full-stack engineering for AI applications at scale, with an emphasis on open-source integrations. Paco forged a career in artificial intelligence when many people were skeptical of it and now boasts over 40 years of computer science experience. &amp;nbsp; Peter and Paco discuss histories and frameworks that are impacting today\u2019s systems of people and machines. Paco touches on corporate law and how long ago, the concept of insurance allowed for the externalization of risk and corresponding enablement of capital ventures. Paco goes on to talk about autopoiesis, the Chilean Project Cybersyn and the significance of groupware, and the core of human intelligence. &amp;nbsp; Peter and Paco also discuss the increasing complexity of today\u2019s world in which less and less is linear, which requires improved cognition for survival, and the cybernetic future.
