Innovation is the hot sauce of economic progress. Trevor Chandler is one of the hottest inventors on the planet. Whether it's inventing Covid detection masks, AI-driven portable disease-detection machines, or robotic AI-guided robotic sensors, Trevor is a whirlwind of discovery and practical implementation.

Join me in this fascinating and highly entertaining interview with Trevor Chandler. You'll meet his robots, learn about Mask Zero -- the future of pandemic protection, which I previously discussed with Trevor's extraordinary business partner, Adam Pener, and find yourself at the frontier of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), if not Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI).

Trevor's patents may well represent not just the hot, but the secret sauce to achieving AGI and ASI.
