Ahead of World Summit AI Americas (24th-24th April 2024, Palais de congrès de Montréal, Montréal), we asked Fatih Nayebi, Vice President of Data & AI at ALDO Group, his thoughts on the future of AI.

If you could solve any global problem in the world with AI, what would it be and why?

I would focus on combating climate change. This is an urgent issue impacting every corner of the globe, threatening biodiversity, human health, and economic stability. AI can play a pivotal role here, especially through its ability to analyze vast datasets—more than any human team could manage. By using AI, we can better predict weather patterns, optimize energy consumption, and even develop new, more efficient materials for capturing carbon dioxide.

Ahead of World Summit AI Americas (24th-24th April 2024, Palais de congrès de Montréal, Montréal), we asked Raul Rodriguez, Vice President of Woxsen University, his thoughts on the future of AI.

If you could solve any global problem in the world with AI, what would it be and why?

While AI can be a powerful tool, complex problems like climate change require a multifaceted approach. I'd propose an AI-powered platform facilitating global collaboration. This platform could:

• Aggregate and analyze real-time environmental data: Track emissions, resource depletion, and weather patterns
• Facilitate communication and resource sharing: Connect scientists, policymakers, and businesses to develop sustainable solutions
• Model and predict environmental impacts: Simulate scenarios with different policies and interventions

Ahead of World Summit AI Americas (24th-24th April 2024, Palais de congrès de Montréal, Montréal), we asked Philip Alm, Founder and CEO of Norditech, his thoughts on the future of AI.

If you could solve any global problem in the world with AI, what would it be and why?

Global water access.

Ahead of World Summit AI Americas (24th-24th April 2024, Palais de congrès de Montréal, Montréal), we asked Alison Cossette, Founder of Patrun, her thoughts on the future of AI.

If you could solve any global problem in the world with AI, what would it be and why?

I am driven to take on the problem of human contribution to AI models.

Ahead of World Summit AI Americas (24th-24th April 2024, Palais de congrès de Montréal, Montréal), we asked Yannick Lallement, Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer at Scotiabank, his thoughts on the future of AI.

If you could solve any global problem in the world with AI, what would it be and why?

Global warming should be the number one - not that AI is a solution for it on its own of course, but AI might contribute in many different ways.

Ahead of World Summit AI Americas (24th-24th April 2024, Palais de congrès de Montréal, Montréal), we asked Rodrigo Scotti, Founder and CEO of Nama, his thoughts on the future of AI.

If you could solve any global problem in the world with AI, what would it be and why?

Harnessing the world's information and transforming it into structured knowledge would be my choice. This would enable the creation of advanced platforms that facilitate a deeper collective wisdom within society.

Ahead of World Summit AI Americas (24th-24th April 2024, Palais de congrès de Montréal, Montréal), we asked William Caron, COO of CLIC Labs, his thoughts on the future of AI.

If you could solve any global problem in the world with AI, what would it be and why?

Addressing the global challenge of making education accessible through AI represents a transformative ambition that has the power to reshape humanity's future. Ensuring everyone has access to quality education, regardless of where they live, their economic background, or physical capabilities, could unlock immense untapped potential and catalyze substantial advancements across the breadth of human development.

Ahead of World Summit AI Americas (24th-24th April 2024, Palais de congrès de Montréal, Montréal), we asked Joel Gallant, CEO and Co-Founder of CLIC Labs, his thoughts on the future of AI.

If you could solve any global problem in the world with AI, what would it be and why?

Health! I feel like we're on the verge of major brain discoveries that will change millions of lives.

Ahead of World Summit AI Americas (24th-24th April 2024, Palais de congrès de Montréal, Montréal), we asked Max Murphy, Data Scientist at Overwatch Data, his thoughts on the future of AI.

If you could solve any global problem in the world with AI, what would it be and why?

Violent conflict. It's spreading at a growing rate, and is becoming increasingly intense. Beyond the obvious impacts, such as the thousands of innocent lives taken, the spillover effects it has are huge, too - conflict can lead to disease spreading, and it can trap countries in cycles of poverty and stagnation. There is an untapped opportunity to use AI to help address this.

Ahead of World Summit AI Americas (24th-24th April 2024, Palais de congrès de Montréal, Montréal), we asked Blake Richards, Associate Professor, McGill University, Canada CIFAR AI Chair, his thoughts on the future of AI.

If you could solve any global problem in the world with AI, what would it be and why?

Climate change, because it's the most pressing problem on the planet. Followed closely by disorders of the brain, because they have a massive impact on human flourishing.
