Join us this Wednesday to discuss different topics about AI Computer Vision in agriculture

📝 Through our research at GSMA - Mobile for Development, we have looked at #AI use cases in agriculture, energy and climate action, starting from Africa. We are now extending our scope to impact-driven innovations across sectors and geographies. 🛠️ This chart that I presented last week at Kenya Innovation Week (KIW) offers an #LMIC wide snapshot, using a data set of close to 300 use case applications, including both predictive and #generativeAI. This is work in progress, but it's clear how AgriTech, ClimateTech and HealthTech are consistently seeing strong traction across geographies.  👉More to come from us (soon) on #EmergingTech #AI..

Empowering Gen Z is crucial for shaping a promising future. Ms. Khrystal Riviere, COO of St. Lucia Agency for Youth Economy, underscores how AI is transforming Africa's agricultural sector. By integrating AI into development strategies, we unlock innovative solutions, leveraging Gen Z's digital savvy to drive agricultural innovation. #IATF2025 #Afreximbank #AfCFTA #AfricanUnion #GlobalAfrica #AfricaRising

🟦 Join us at HackSummit in Lausanne, Switzerland. #HackSummit2024 - We’re attending Europe's largest gathering of ClimateTech builders and investors -  📅 13th + 14th of June 2024. 👤 Multus’ CEO Cai Linton will be engaging with thought-leaders, innovators and key decision-makers, about: ✳️ How Multus can run experiments with thousands of different media formulations to help develop media that scales. ✳️ How we are developing, screening and incorporating complex ingredients into products that work for cultivated meat. ✳️ Our approach which leverages machine learning optimisation, laboratory automation and computer vision to make media development faster. Attending the event? 💬 Reach out to Cai Linton chat in person at the event.

Can Artificial Intelligence Turbocharge the Shift to Sustainable Mobility? Perspectives from BMK's 1st Mobility Conference 🌱🚗🚀 Under the motto "Together stronger for change!" at the 1st Mobility Conference of the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation & Technology, one of our founders, Arno Scharl, had the privilege to contribute to a panel discussion on "Artificial Intelligence: Turbo for the Mobility Transition?" Organized by Magdalena Weichselbraun and Lena Reiser, the session kicked off with an impulse lecture by Julia Eisner from Fachhochschule Wiener Neustadt, setting the stage for a dynamic discussion. Joined by esteemed panelists Sandra Stein (Fraunhofer Austria), Martin Seiser (ÖBB-Holding AG) and Michael Cik (Technische Universität Graz & Invenium Data Insights GmbH), we explored diverse applications of AI in the context of mobility and the crucial role of unbiased data and explainability. Highly relevant to our ongoing AI-CENTIVE and KI.Mobilität research projects, the discussed potentials, risks, and current trends are important buildings blocks of a holistic understanding of AI's role in the mobility transition. #ArtificialIntelligence #SustainableMobility #MobilityTransition #MobilityConference #BMK #ResearchProjects #AI-CENTIVE #KI.M #Innovation #ClimateAction #Environment #EnergyTransition #TechForGood #Collaboration #TogetherStronger #FutureOfMobility 📸 Photo credit: Bundesministerium für Klimaschutz, Umwelt, Energie, Mobilität, Innovation & Technologie

🔈 We are pleased to have eMAG, our long standing supporter and partner as sponsor for the 6th edition of the Digital International Forum. Tech for Good. AI for a Sustainable Future on May 8th. 💡 This year's edition places at the center of the project the ”twin” digital and green transition as a key element for strengthening economic and social resilience at the European level, reaching the targets for reducing global warming, in a context of economic risks and uncertainties, war and political instability. Technology and artificial intelligence have a key role to play in ensuring sustainable economic growth in this decisive decade for both the future of artificial intelligence, technology and climate change action. 👉 The panels will focus on topics such as smart cities, artificial intelligence, robotics and automation development with positive social and environmental impact in key areas such as energy and mobility, health and finance alongside keynote interventions on research, sustainable development goals and digital skills. eMAG will participate in the panel dedicated to ”The future of Health and Well-being” via Hilio - hilio.com. 🚀

A lot of cool insights about GovLab.ai by AltaML, presented by Chantal Ritcey, and how they drive innovation in the public sector at Upper Bound by Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute (Amii). “Our mission is to build a sustainable innovation practice that will launch products powered by data and AI to benefit citizens and governments first while accelerating economic prosperity.” Among their case studies are: - AI for Forest Pest Control - AI for Fuel Grid Mapping - AI for Infrastructure Capital Planning - AI for Wildfire Prediction

This year's Global Symposium for Regulators (GSR-24), hosted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in Kampala, Uganda, focuses on regulating impactful fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), the space sector, and climate change. This event marks the first time these critical areas are at the forefront of regulatory discussions. Cosmas Luckyson ZAVAZAVA, PhD., ITU's Telecommunications Development Division Director, emphasized the importance of "regulating for impact" by defining policies that guide transformative technologies for the benefit of humanity. Effective regulation, he noted, requires creating an environment where technology and socio-economic development advance together. The symposium includes a dedicated AI session addressing ethical aspects, standards development, and risk mitigation for responsible AI and robotics. Discussions will focus on strategies to mitigate risks and foster trustworthy AI systems, highlighting the necessity of ethical considerations in AI deployment. GSR-24 also delves into the burgeoning space economy, exploring regulatory measures for inclusive, safe, and sustainable space-based applications. These discussions aim to support critical economic, business, and societal projects, ensuring that space technology advancements benefit all. #GSR24 #ITU #ArtificialIntelligence #SpaceEconomy #ClimateChange #RegulationForImpact #TechPolicy #DigitalTransformation #SustainableDevelopment #Innovation To read more: https://lnkd.in/d5DTZtTE
