NOW WE’RE OFF TO BRAZIL! Yes, this week I have the honor of chairing the AI panel discussion at this year’s Horasis Global Meeting, under the visionary leadership of Frank-Jürgen Richter, being held in South America for the first time. Horasis' flagship event will focus on building bridges between the North and South, as well as the East and West. One of the hottest topics is the rapid evolution of AI. I will be leading a distinguished international panel of experts (Yip Thy Diep Ta, John Graham, Mickael Israel Malka, Jéssica Regina and Dimas Timmers), who will dive into the debate of AI vs deep knowledge and explore how GenAI can deliver valuable solutions that support domain-specific AI learning across different industries and leadership roles. The meeting brings together an exclusive group of global ministers, professors, well-known entrepreneurs, and organizations to address the most pressing challenges facing societies today and tomorrow—ranging from climate change and inequality to the quest for peace. Looking forward to a transformative experience! #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Horasis #GenAI #GenerativeAI #LLM #ML #MachineLearning #TechForGood #DeepLearning #AIRevolution #Datadisruption #AIFuture #TechInnovation #AITransformation #DataScience #FutureTech #AIInnovation #TechLeaders #SmartTech #Tech #Innovation #DigitalTransformation #FutureOfWork #BusinessLeaders #Leadership #GlobalLeaders #brazil #vitoria #digitalenta #BusinessInnovation #SustainableTech #NextGenTech #EmTech

AI for Humanity: What Business Leaders Need to Know With a few major development in #AI recently including: - The Nobel Prize awarding Geoffrey E. Hinton with the 2024 Nobel Prize in #Physics for his foundational work in machine learning and neural networks. He is widely regarded as the “Godfather of Deep Learning,” - The Nobel Prize awarding Demis Hassabis with 2024 Nobel Prize in #Chemistry on “for protein structure prediction”. He is the co-founder of Google DeepMind - #UnitedNations issuing the new report on "Governing AI for Humanity" that provides a good overview of the global #AI landscape including opportunities and challenges Singapore Chamber of Commerce and Industry in China (SingCham) 中国新加坡商会 is organzing the 20th Tech Tuesday to bring all business leaders together in Shanghai to converge, share and discuss in Shanghai on October 22 2024 Tuesday.

In a world of exponential change and disruptive technologies, organizations must actively shape the future or risk being left behind. 🚀 Ivan Bofarull, Chief Innovation Officer at #Esade, shared key insights during his keynote at the 2024 Singularity University Summit in Madrid, where Esade proudly served as the academic sponsor. He explored how to build companies that thrive in disruption, the transformative potential of Generative AI beyond productivity, and the crucial role higher education must play in this rapidly evolving landscape. The future is here—are you ready to embrace it? 🌍

This is a solid argument to focus and invest in new technologies at least as forcefully as the current efforts to restrict and regulate them. In a technological field undergoing exponential growth, making it a de facto policy to only play catch-up can only lead to failure as the competition accelerates away from you.

🌍 Europe: Leading in Innovation 🌍 Did you know that 7 out of the top 10 countries in the Global Innovation Index 2023 are in Europe? And that also 7 European nations are in the top 10 of the Global Competitiveness Index 2023 by INSEAD? This shows how Europe continues to be at the forefront of sustainable, technological and business innovation. Last week, Oslo hosted Oslo Innovation Week 2023, where founders, investors, business leaders, and public sector pioneers from around the world gathered to address global challenges. It was an inspiring week filled with innovators daring to challenge the status quo and pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved. Now, the spotlight turns to Switzerland for Swiss AI Week, which culminates in an exciting summit tomorrow and the day after in Zurich. Visionary leaders will gather to reveal groundbreaking insights and provide a high-level overview of the current and future state of AI. Expect deep dives into key topics like Responsible AI, Generative AI, AI in Finance, and Human-Centric Computing, while also showcasing real-world AI applications that are already transforming industries. The future is here, and AI is leading the way—let’s see what unfolds! 🚀 #Innovation #AI #SwissAIWeek #OsloInnovationWeek #GlobalInnovation #AILeadership #ResponsibleAI #ChooseEurope #FDI #SDG Find out more about AI in each Choose Europe region: https://lnkd.in/eEehvyQN Or if you are around, check out the AI+XSummit https://www.plusx.ai/ Choose Europe Members - ADERLY / Invest in Lyon Agency I amsterdam Berlin Partner für Wirtschaft und Technologie GmbH Catalonia Trade & Investment Choose Paris Region Business Riga Copenhagen Capacity FrankfurtRheinMain GmbH International Marketing of the Region Helsinki Partners Stockholm Business Region Oslo Business Region Wirtschaftsagentur Wien Grow with Warsaw

What’s the major difference when discussing AI outside Europe? The entire focus and dynamic of the conversation shifts! Over the past month, I’ve had the honor of speaking at several international events, most recently in Malaysia. The discussions there were enlightening—centered around the vast opportunities that new technologies, including AI, can bring. And yes, while acknowledging the risks is essential, this experience reinforced a crucial insight: it’s possible to pursue ambitious visions for societal progress while staying mindful of the challenges. Perhaps it’s time for Europe to embrace this dual mindset—one that fosters big aspirations for the future while remaining conscious of the potential pitfalls. Let’s push for bold, forward-thinking conversations that acknowledge both innovation and responsibility.

Curious about the environmental costs of the rise of AI Datacenters & how that will impact the equipment supplier landscape and the grid electricity design 💭

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.
