Emerging technology, data, automation and AI

Pete Sheridan

Hi, I’m Pete Sheridan. Welcome to my blog.

I co-founded a market-leading audience measurement technology company which disrupted the consumer packaged goods information industry in Australia and in New Zealand.

A passion around emerging technologies grew, particularly at the point where technology and data intersect to improve our quality of life. This website is a platform for me to share my thoughts, as well as other people’s content that resonates with me, to provide context and understanding to how the world around us changing – hopefully for the better.

Deepmind’s AlphaGo: The Computer Program That Beat the Best Go Player in History

Go, a board game that originated in China over 3,000 years ago, is considered one of the most difficult board games as it requires multiple layers of strategic thinking. How complex? Well, there are more possible configurations on the board than there are atoms in the universe. It's naturally challenging for artificial intelligence because of its complexity. Despite decades of…
