Mel​ba Kurman

Author. Analyst. Speaker.
Welcome!   My name is Melba Kurman.   I write and speak to audiences all over the world about the promise and peril of emerging technologies. 

I am the author of two books and several articles that explore how artificial intelligence, driverless vehicles and 3D printing enrich and challenge our lives.  Driverless:  Autonomous Cars and the Road Ahead (MIT Press, 2016) and Fabricated:  The New World of 3D Printing (Wiley, 2013) have sold more than 250,000 copies in seven languages.

I am a faculty member at Singularity University, with previous positions in Microsoft's Windows Server Division and at Cornell University.  I earned a BS from Cornell University, an MS from University of Illinois's iSchool and served in the United States Peace Corps (Liberia, West Africa).  I was born in Helsinki and am a proud first-generation Estonian-American.  I divide my time between New York City and the Berkshires.
