About Me
My name is Melba Kurman. I write and speak about artificial intelligence and other data-driven technologies that enrich and challenge our lives. My special interests include driverless vehicles, 3D printing and smart cities. I am the co-author of two books, Fabricated, the New World of 3D Printing and Driverless and the author of several articles.
