What are some opportunities for Latin America to bring meaningful contributions to Artificial Intelligence? Loved the insightful thoughts shared by Shu Nyatta in a VC LATAM SUMMIT panel moderated by Andy Tsao, which had Brittany R. as a co-panelist, when he was asked a similar question. Unique datasets are on top of any AI founder's mind, and considering the collaborative culture in the region is still untapped in available trained models, it is a great opportunity to address invisible data gaps and drive quality by design in future training models. Green AI Compute is another potential exportable asset that can be designed and delivered responsibly as a service from the region. It's clear that green energy is key to driving the high-performance compute capacity that AI and other deep technologies need. It was my first time listening IRL to Bicycle Capital's co-founder and his pragmatic interventions are digital gold for #LongLatam positions. With that in mind, my networking highlight was meeting Kate Kiewel, looking forward to explore further what we started discussing. #AI4LatAm #LACVentureCapital

I had the unique opportunity to participate in the 23rd Annual Summit by 2b AHEAD ThinkTank GmbH, held on June 12th and 13th at the Baumwollspinnerei Leipzig. Our mission at DUKRA INVEST is rooted in the hope for a peaceful and violence-free world by 2034, leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) to drive this vision forward. The summit's sessions were meticulously curated to reflect the forefront of technological innovation, sustainability, and digital transformation. Each presentation and discussion was a testament to the power of human ingenuity and the potential of AI to shape our world. The insights shared resonated deeply with me. Themes such as physical AI presented by Ivan Poupyrev, Dr. and brilliant perspectives from Nick Davidov, Alexander De Ridder, Lyron Bentovim, Jan Goetz showcased the broad spectrum of challenges and opportunities associated with the increasing integration of AI into our society. Networking at the summit was an invaluable experience, offering me the chance to connect with professionals, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who share our vision for a brighter future. Conversations ranged from the practical applications of AI in conflict resolution to the broader implications of technological advancement on global stability. These exchanges were not only enlightening but also inspiring, providing fresh perspectives and potential partnerships that could propel us closer to our goal. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the organizers for the exceptional execution of the 23rd Annual Summit Sven Gabor Janszky and the whole 2b AHEAD ThinkTank GmbH Team. Your dedication to creating a space where innovation, thought leadership, and meaningful connections thrive truly sets a high standard in this field. #AI #Innovation #DigitalTransformation #Sustainability #FutureOfTech #PeaceBuilding #Networking #ThoughtLeadership #DUKRAINVEST #2bAHEADSummit #TechForGood

According to Fobes News, current AI systems consume tons of energy and water resources. It will be crucial in the future if we can develop AI systems with low energy costs without (maybe?) losing their fancy abilities. We can build a better future.

PARTICIPATION IN THE WORLD AI FOR GOOD SUMMIT - GENEVA, 30-31 MAY 2024 The World Summit on #ArtificialIntelligence for Good (#IAforGood) was a resounding success. It explored how AI could accelerate the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The event was held at the headquarters of the International Telecommunication Union (#ITU) in Geneva on 30 and 31 May 2024. This summit forms part of an international movement seeking to chart a course for current technological developments, with a particular focus on #digital #technologies.  This is the core of my research into the twin transitions for over six years. It is undoubtedly beneficial to provide a global governance framework for AI that is favorable to the public, inclusive, and respectful of diversity. Another key objective is to guide development in a way that addresses current challenges in sustainable development. The summit provided a unique opportunity to observe the real-world construction of this dynamic in various global locations. Each party is pursuing its own initiative, and the scaling up of these initiatives could result in significant changes. I am pleased to be part of the growing number of international networks. I was able to observe and engage in discussions with a range of stakeholders, including academia, politicians, #researchers, #entrepreneurs, start-up founders, and other members of #civilsociety. This allowed me to assess the maturity of the proposed solutions and their diversity. A number of solutions were presented for improving support for older people facing loneliness, monitoring climate change, assisting disabled and mobility-impaired individuals, promoting language learning, providing energy access for all, enhancing educational opportunities, and responding to emergency situations. These solutions represent a diverse range of approaches to improving the world. It has been over a decade since I joined the 15,000-strong scientific community in advocating for a shift in mindset, moving from a traditional researcher role to that of a "researcher-maker" of change. I am pleased to have had the opportunity to actively contribute to this Forum, which aligns with this vision. I share with you some news and videos in the next posts so that my entire network can benefit from what I have been able to observe.
