Greetings from Seoul, where I’m representing IBM at the 2nd AI Safety Summit. Continuing the momentum from last year’s inaugural gathering in Bletchley Park, this year’s Summit is co-hosted by the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and the Korean Ministry of Science and ICT, and aims to double down on progress to create and use AI safely and responsibly by governments and companies alike. Tomorrow, at the #AISeoulSummit I will share IBM’s point of view on why we believe an open approach to AI innovation is the best path forward to ensure safety and a healthy competitive landscape for companies of all sizes. An open innovation ecosystem – in which stakeholders recognize the value of community-built technology and the open exchange of information, ideas, and skills it cultivates – is the only way to grow AI responsibly.   IBM is proud to be a partner throughout this process and remains ready and committed to playing a pivotal role in bringing the power of responsible AI. Ultimately, effective regulation coupled with corporate accountability will allow businesses and society at large to reap the benefits of AI while addressing the potential for misuse and risk.

A great piece on how A.I. driven solutions can be leveraged in supply chain, manufacturing, and operations to unlock efficiencies and create resilience: - Move quickly to scope, define, and act - Select well-defined high-value use cases that your teams can solve with experts - Take advantage of "all of your data" with digital twins and let intelligence do the work for you (but keep humans in the loop) - Look to streamline and automate complex tasks in planning, prioritization, - Ensure the use cases and solutions are adopted, iterated on, and improved #supplychain #artificialintelligence #digitaltransformation #digitatwins #manufacturing

The future of healthcare hinges on data-driven care and operational agility. With Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare, we’re seeing real transformation! For instance, Providence reduced ICU admissions by 50% using predictive analytics, and St. Luke’s achieved 86% patient adoption of its virtual care platform. These aren’t just optimizations—they’re game-changers. By unifying data, we’re empowering providers to make faster, more informed decisions that improve outcomes. The next frontier is personalized care at scale, and this is just the beginning. Explore how we’re enabling this transformation: https://lnkd.in/gFHBFQxK #HealthcareInnovation #MicrosoftCloud #FutureofHealthcare

Some really provocative ideas in this article that challenge us to reimagine leadership for the AI era. AI expert Nell Watson prompts us to imagine a future where AI takes on leadership roles in business and beyond. But don't picture a robot manager just yet. AI's superhuman ability to process vast amounts of data and spot hidden patterns makes it an attractive candidate for high-level decision-making. But who's accountable when an AI makes a costly mistake? How do we ensure these leaders align with our values? Can AI generate the kind of contrarian, innovative thinking we need in a leader? What do you think? Can you imagine an AI leader in the C-suite? #artificialintelligence #leadership #empathy

Multi-Agentic systems like #Autogen have the potential to revolutionize the way Agents, Humans, and #Robots collaborate and work as a team. By leveraging #GenerativeAI, robots can engage in complex workflows, providing instructions in #naturallanguage and utilizing #LLMs to determine the most appropriate actions. This integration allows robots to understand and execute tasks with a high degree of autonomy, while still being able to interact seamlessly with human counterparts. The synergy between these entities can lead to more efficient and effective operations, as robots can handle repetitive or hazardous tasks, freeing up humans to focus on more strategic and creative endeavors. This harmonious blend of technology and human ingenuity can drive innovation and productivity to new heights. #ComposableAI plays a crucial role in this ecosystem. Composable AI refers to the ability to create AI systems by connecting smaller, independent “agents” or robots. Each of these agents/robots can handle specific tasks, and they can be combined like building blocks to form more complex #AI applications. This modular approach allows for greater flexibility and scalability, enabling organizations to tailor AI solutions to their unique needs and easily adapt to changing requirements. By integrating Composable AI with multi-agentic systems, we can achieve a more dynamic and responsive AI infrastructure that enhances collaboration and drives continuous improvement.

😕 ⁉ One of the biggest problems with technology can often be, well, technologists. At least when it comes to explaining what the tech actually DOES in a way that the rest of us can understand. Their awe for - and deep knowledge of - the latest digital development can blind them into assuming we all know our Rs from our LBEs (Reader, I don't...). So it's always a relief to chat to experts such as Dr. Antonio J. Jara. In this episode of the Huawei #TransformTalks series, he effortlessly translates AI and the Internet of Things into everyday human impact: from boosting data privacy to easing traffic jams. Suffice to say it's going to change our lives for the better, but watch the video for a simple explanation of how... PS - Loved his lack of concern for whether or not the public understand how IoT works: "If you open the tap and water is there, clean and healthy, you don't care about water supply. Like IoT, the important thing is it works". It may not be water into wine, but as a tech amateur I'm happy to raise a 🍷 to that...

Edge computing is proving to be a game-changer for sustainability in tech. Processing data closer to where it's generated, not only accelerates decision-making but also helps target and reduce negative environmental impacts. For instance, in agriculture, edge computing aids in managing irrigation through real-time soil and crop data, minimizing resource waste. Similarly, manufacturers are leveraging edge tech for waste control, contributing to energy savings and lower emissions. While edge computing requires resources itself, its potential to drive efficiency and sustainability is significant. Embracing this technology can lead to smarter operations and a greener footprint. #Sustainability #TechInnovation #EdgeComputing
