🇨🇦 Pumped to announce that Canadian organizations can now both store their data at-rest and perform machine learning (ML) processing for Gemini 1.5 Pro and Gemini 1.5 Flash in Canada. This means that a customer’s data will not leave the region when asking a model to generate a response. We know this is important to many organizations here in Canada, and it's critical to leveraging gen AI to its fullest.…more details here: https://goo.gle/4gbOcWO

The business value of human centred design!        In this week’s episode of #BehindTheGrowth, I celebrated Christian Rohrer, VP of Design at TD. Christian shared his journey from tech support to leading design at major companies, highlighting how focusing on user needs drives better product outcomes.     Christian explains how companies can measure the effectiveness of their design strategies and why human-centred design is key to business success. He refers to a McKinsey study showing that companies with the best design practices see nearly double the revenue growth.    We also covered topics like:     👉 The best approaches to product development      👉 The intersection of innovation and design      👉 AI's evolving role in UX/UI      👉 His philosophy on leadership and team dynamics     🎧 Listen to the full episode here:      #HumanCenteredDesign #UXDesign #Innovation #LeadershipInTech #AIInDesign #UserExperience #DesignThinking @mobileLIVE      Episode Links  mobileLIVE Website  https://lnkd.in/gdV5ZdFb YouTube  https://lnkd.in/g8Qf8pni Apple  https://lnkd.in/gETpd9We Spotify  https://lnkd.in/gqqjFhBe

#GenAI in the context of #neurodiversity #ethics emphasizes the importance of inclusivity and respect for diverse cognitive styles. My talk addresses concerns about how AI can perpetuate biases against neurodivergent individuals, such as those with autism or ADHD. The aim is to harness AI's potential while safeguarding against discrimination and enhancing representation in technology. #gdg #neurodiversity #AI #software #Devfest2024 #microsoft

Just a few days out from my talk at Toronto Machine Learning Society (TMLS)‘ Summit. I will be speaking next Monday July 15 at 11:30 in Room 1. My talk, “GenAI: A New Renaissance in Product Development” is about actionable tips for how to incorporate GenAI in your day to day workflows. I cover three major topics on how to: 1. Get the most from work with global teams 2. Expedite user research (while still talking to real humans!) 3. Find the best tools to leverage during the product development process Along the way I’ll be sharing caveats and pitfalls to be on the lookout for. I’ve got some fun visuals to backdrop the talk. Plus, I will be launching my playbook for how to use GenAI in the product development process. It covers a whole lot more and the audience will have first access! So come on out from 11:30 - 12 in Room 1! And it’s my first trip to Toronto so please send tips!

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to John J. Hopfield of Princeton University and Geoffrey E. Hinton of the University of Toronto, whose pioneering work laid the foundation for the machine learning algorithms that power today’s artificial intelligence revolution. By merging principles of physics with computational models, their breakthroughs in artificial neural networks have enabled computers to detect patterns in vast datasets, transforming industries from healthcare to finance. Hopfield and Hinton's research has made technologies such as facial recognition and language translation feasible, positioning their discoveries at the heart of AI systems that influence modern life. Their work in training artificial neural networks, inspired by the biological processes of the brain, has not only deepened the scientific understanding of cognition but also driven advancements in automation and decision-making. At a time when AI is reshaping economies and global governance, this recognition underscores the profound impact of fundamental research in physics on the future of technology. https://lnkd.in/ed5TDuPB
