Inventing a Better Future: How AI Can Solve Humanity’s Biggest Challenges with Marcus Weller

44 minutes

In this groundbreaking episode, I’m joined by Dr. Marcus Weller — visionary entrepreneur, inventor, and CEO of DeepInvent.ai — to explore how AI can accelerate the pace of human innovation for the benefit of all. Deep Invent’s AI platform can generate patent-ready ideas in minutes, identify untapped “white space” in any field, and even improve its own architecture. Learn about The Deep Invent for Good contest — $10,000 for the best open-sourced invention to benefit humanity (closes August 21, 2025).
