About Vivienne
Dr. Vivienne Ming is a theoretical neuroscientist, inventor, and entrepreneur who focuses on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used to maximize human potential. Named one of Inc. Magazine’s “10 Women to Watch in Tech”, she uses her interdisciplinary expertise to tackle complex social problems. Vivienne is the co-founder and Executive Chair of Socos Labs, a “mad science incubator” where she explores innovative solutions for free, from global economic inclusion to personalized healthcare. She is also the co-founder and Chief Scientist of Dionysus Health, a company pioneering the first-ever biological test for postpartum depression using AI and epigenetics. Her work includes developing neurotechnologies to treat dementia, an outgrowth of her research as a former Visiting Scholar at UC Berkeley’s Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience. Her inventions often spring from personal experience: she created AI systems to treat her son’s Type 1 diabetes and to predict manic episodes in bipolar sufferers. Vivienne is also a powerful voice for ethical technology and inclusion, advocating for “Fiduciary AI”—technology that is legally and ethically bound to act solely in the user’s best interest.
