#colombia 🇨🇴 FORO: Ai angel o demonio? Nov 19 - Bogota 🗓️⌛️ Fundación Innovación para el Desarrollo The Future of AI and Society: AI holds profound implications for the very structure of society.🔮 Navigating the complexities of AI demands a new type of leadership that combines technological acumen with ethical foresight. AI’s advances are reshaping everything from healthcare to financial services, education, and beyond. AI is not only transforming industries but also generating societal shifts that are reshaping relationships, expectations, and capabilities globally. This rapid technological evolution, however, also risks widening social divides, making it imperative for global leaders to establish frameworks that ensure equitable access to AI’s benefits across socioeconomic and geographic lines. AI’s ability to enhance—or undermine—democratic institutions has become a focal point of global debate. Democratic resilience in the age of AI depends on the careful balancing of technological freedom and regulatory oversight to prevent misuse and foster a secure, inclusive digital environment. The future of AI innovation rests on collaboration and the responsible sharing of technological advancements to foster a balanced global economy. In the digital age, companies must embrace AI to remain competitive, leveraging its capabilities to drive innovation and streamline operations. One of AI’s most significant impacts will be on the workforce, reshaping both the nature of work and the skills required to succeed. The future of AI in business requires aligning profit motives with ethical practices to create an inclusive, sustainable economy. The challenge lies in creating regulatory frameworks that foster both innovation and environmental stewardship, setting standards that transcend borders and align with international goals Information ℹ️ https://lnkd.in/emASm9Da #artificialintelligence #ai #leadership Iván Duque Márquez Michael Wooldridge Lourdes Casanova Sandra Cortesi Maria Lorena Gutierrez Margarita Henao Cabrera Fabián Hernández Guillermo Lasso James Levinsohn George Logothetis Zen Matoshi john alberto maya salazar Victor Manuel Muñoz Rodriguez Luis Eduardo Pino Villarreal RICARDO ANDRES SIERRA FERNANDEZ Diego Solana Giménez Nat Ware Luz María Zapata Zapata

Innovation at the public-private interface is a vast reservoir of value. Unleashing that value requires strategic planning and accepting risk. Public research institutions are good at the former, but terrible at the later. In Spain, many public tech transfer offices are essentially run by lawyers, who naturally concentrate in minimizing exposure to liability. While this conservartive approach is safe, concentrating on the downside of innovation usually slows it down. Tech transfer offices, at least in Spain, where I work, lack business development capabilities, typically reacting to opportunity rather than seeking it actively. My colleagues do much with little resources, but institutions need to understand that their technology will never reach market if they can’t sustain strategic efforts in business development. At Institut Català de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia (ICN2) we have produced 45 families of Patents, and succeeded in licensing more than 50% of them.

In preparation of the #Horasis Global Meeting, #Vitoria, #Brazil, 25-26 Oct: 'Aspiring Towards the 15-Minute City' - a key panel at our #Horasis flagship event. 🔴 In recent years, the concept of the 15-minute city has gained traction as an ideal urban planning model, to make city life more sustainable, convenient, and livable. Popularized by scientist and business professor, Carlos Moreno in 2016, the vision proposes that city residents should be able to access all their essential services within a 15-minute journey from their home. 🔴 At the heart of the 15-minute city is a desire to reduce dependence on cars, cut down on greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance the overall wellbeing of residents by providing easy access to everyday needs. The model integrates transportation planning, urban design, and mixed-use development to ensure that essential services are within easy reach. The benefits are manifold: less traffic congestion, low pollution levels, and better public health through increased physical activity. Such a setup will also encourage local economic growth as residents will spend more time and money within their immediate vicinity. 🔴 Ottawa, the capital city of Canada refers to it as “15-minute neighborhoods”. Proposed in 2021, the concept was developed on the back of public consultation via focus groups, public surveys, and public meetings. These neighborhoods are “compact, well-connected places with a clustering of a diverse mix of land-uses where daily and weekly needs can be accessed within a 15-minute walk; this includes a range of housing types, shops, services, local access to food, schools and childcare facilities, employment, greenspaces, parks and pathways. They are complete communities that support walking, cycling and transit, reduce car dependency, and enable people to live car-light or car free.” Continue reading: https://lnkd.in/e96p8XCA https://lnkd.in/e96p8XCA #Horasis #Inspiringourfuture

It was a pleasure to be with a distinguished and impressive group of global experts discussing Project 23.919 for the regulation of AI in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 , led by Congressman Oscar Izquierdo and organized by the Global Network of Centers. This initiative has the potential to benefit many other policymakers in the region who are engaged in similar discussions about AI governance. The workshop was possible due to the support and teamwork of Kirsten Müller-Daubermann, Noha Lea Halim, Ana María Castillo, Camila Hidalgo, Fernanda S. and Lionel Brossi. We had the opportunity to discuss various building blocks of this regulation and explore how research on ethics and governance of AI can aid in its drafting and implementation. It is necessary to delve into capabilities to improve data quality, promote the interoperability of principles, ensure the protection of human rights, define the specific impacts of AI, and encourage experimentation. We will be sharing the main recommendations and feedback from the experts in the coming weeks.

Over the past five years, #AI development has shown a clear trend: more training data, more computing power, and larger models lead to better performance—this is known as scaling laws. By 2023, the #ComputingPower needed to train AI models is 10 billion times what it was in 2010, doubling every six months. Models now train on billions of tokens, with #datasets expanding rapidly each year (https://lnkd.in/d43usn-Y). Optimists believe scaling laws will continue to unlock new, advanced capabilities in AI. For example, #LargeLanguageModels have unexpectedly learned to perform complex tasks, like accurately adding large numbers when prompted step-by-step. These emergent capabilities are a key focus for #AIdevelopers, with expectations that by 2026, AI models could be trained using 40 to 100 times the computation seen today. However, scepticism is growing. Recent studies suggest these emergent abilities may develop more gradually than previously thought. In some cases, increasing model size can even degrade #aiperformance, such as when larger models struggle with creative tasks. On the other hand, scaling may hit practical limits. The vast amount of data needed for training could run out, and financial and energy demands may become unsustainable. Additionally, physical limits on AI chip manufacturing could slow progress. Critics argue that current deep learning approaches may be a dead end, lacking essential #cognitiveabilities like #CausalReasoning and #commonsense. Without significant breakthroughs, AI advancement could stall. The International Scientific Report on the Safety of Advanced AI, released by the British government last May (https://lnkd.in/dJUGj-bk) suggests a middle ground: while today’s AI may not match human reasoning, each generation shows improvement. Have you reached the end of the line?

standing on the shoulders of giants - seeing unchartered territory Pioneering thinkers of Library- and Information Science has contributed to the evolution of technology. I learned about what the web was doing to our to society through the likes of Louis Rosenfeld, Jorge Arango and, Peter Morville, studying information architecture and ambient findability. I looked deeper into the Library- and Information Scientific literature and discovered Elaine Svenonius, Henriette Avram and Suzanne Briet and found breathtaking works that helped me understand the world, the universe, and my place in it. I have never forgotten it. Now, I have the chance to contribute as an author, and not only see new, unchartered territory, but describe what I see. I owe this privilege to the giants on which shoulders I stand. I write about enterprise technology. I think Library- and Information Science has a role to play. One essential element in my training is the catalog. A library catalog is not exactly a tool collecting dust in a corner. Analog, quasi digitized and then completely digitized, the catalog was and is a tool that serves library collections all the time - _all_ the time. Discovering data catalogs, for enterprises, several years ago, I was... surprised. They collected dust in corners. I knew why and I knew I could connect the dots, and luckily O'Reilly believed in me. In 2023 I published The Enterprise Data Catalog. Now, I am seeing further. I am looking towards metadata, the technologies that contains metadata and how we manage metadata in enterprises altogether. The essential element in my training at play here is the reference librarian. Reference librarianship is about collecting the best possible insights about a topic from all available sources, as a service. When we represent IT landscapes in enterprises with metadata, we must think like reference librarians. We must learn and accept, that we do not have one source, but a plethora of sources in which we note or knowledge and find our answers. But it entails admitting mistakes. S R Ranganathan put it best: "If you want to be a reference librarian, you must learn to overcome not only your shyness but also the shyness of others" Matthew Skelton and Manuel Pais (Team Topologies) 🇺🇦 🇵🇸 talk about the monolithic model in Team Topologies and that, alas, is very often at play in Metadata Repositories. That is why we must think like reference librarians. There are many people from library and information science in tech: Madonnalisa C. Jessica Talisman Jeffrey Tyzzer Debora Seys Halle Rashdan Pernille Helene Kjeldsen Fabiola Aparecida Vizentim Francisco Tadeu Foz Claudia Chamas and many many more! I am thankful you are reading my thoughts: ChaiJen T. Iuliana Waltzer Fred Lardaro Arnaud de Chambourcy Evangeline White Mariana Hebborn PhD Alfredo Serafini Sarah Higham CDMP/DAMA UK Winfried Adalbert Etzel and so many more - thank you! #informationscience #tech #metadata

The CMF, our very own version of the SEC. The inaction and silence of the Chilean Financial Market Commission (CMF) regarding the #CuraumaCase is both "concerning" and "shocking," as prominent local business leaders have similarly described the Enjoy Collusion Case. In fact, it raises questions that are not only surprising but also suspicious: For over a decade (2013-2024), the CMF has failed to fulfill its fundamental legal obligations! Supervision of entities: With operations that exceeded the Maximum Conventional Rate, the CMF should have investigated Euroamerica Seguros de Vida and enforced the applicable regulations. The lack of review regarding the legality of the loans and guarantees, and the absence of sanctions, is inexplicable. Investor protection: Over 1,600 shareholders of Curauma S.A. have been severely harmed by the practices of Euroamerica Seguros de Vida, yet the CMF has not stepped in to defend their rights, leaving their interests completely unprotected. Regulation and transparency: The irregularities in the transactions related to Curauma S.A., evident since 2013, were not addressed by the CMF, which should have ensured compliance with financial transparency regulations but failed to act. Market oversight: The loan granted by Euroamerica Seguros de Vida to Curauma S.A. exceeded the Maximum Conventional Rate, and #HenryComber, president of Euroamerica Seguros de Vida—accused and fined for collusion in the casino industry—illegally and fraudulently appropriated the guarantee of Curauma S.A. The CMF has a duty to investigate this abuse, but so far, it has avoided its responsibility. The CMF's silence for over a decade in the face of these irregularities is incomprehensible and reveals a clear failure in its mission to protect the market and investors. So far, the acronym CMF, instead of standing for the Financial Market Commission, seems more fitting as "Complete Market Failure." #cmf #sec #silence #inaction #markets #collusion #henrycomber #curaumacase #casocurauma #euroamerica #chile

What a great conversation today thanks to Jimena Viveros LL.M., Lucia Velasco and many other from the United Nations Secretary General’s High-Level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence (AIAB), during the regional consultation focused on Latin America and the Caribbean. I think we should all agree that these meetings are important since Latin America and The Carribean constitute an underrepresented part of the world when it comes to global conversations on AI Governance and Tech Policy. I guess we need to start claiming our seat at the table. Big shout out to the amazing efforts of Luis Aranda, OECD.AI, Fabricio Rodríguez, Inter-American Development Bank, Paul Hector, UNESCO and many other great institutions and people that join me in my quest to have our region represented duringevery international discussion on AI and Tech! Hebert Paguas Wanda Muñoz Alejandro Delgado Lina Zuluaga Luis Adrian Salazar Major thanks to Women in AI Governance for helping me push this agenda! #ai #aigovernance #aiab #

🇦🇷 #Argentina: This opinion piece by Ricardo Kirschbaum, editor-in-chief of leading Argentine daily Clarín, discusses the political fallout from the scandal involving former Argentine President #AlbertoFernández, who faces allegations of gender violence and corruption. In Kirschbaum's view this scandal has notably benefited President Javier #Milei, whose anti-establishment rhetoric against the political "casta" (elite) resonates even more with the public in light of these revelations. Milei's approval ratings, which had been declining, may stabilize or improve as a result. The scandal has severely damaged #Peronism, the main opposition party, which is struggling with leadership issues and a lack of clear direction. Cristina Kirchner, who was instrumental in Fernández's rise, is criticized for not acknowledging her mistake in supporting him, similar to her earlier backing of former VP Amado Boudou. Mauricio Macri, former president and leader of the opposition, has maintained a low profile regarding the scandal. He focuses on supporting economic policies against inflation and distinguishing his stance from Milei's administration, particularly on judicial matters. Overall, the scandal underscores the deep crisis within Peronism and the broader political system in Argentina, with no clear signs of renewal or strong leadership emerging from the #opposition. https://lnkd.in/di_kQG3X
