title: Exploring the future of AI with Joel Gallant, CEO & Founder, CLIC Labs
description: One of the main challenges is the complexity of AI development across borders and across the global value chains. Data collected in one country may be used, labelled, processed in other countries - and it's hard to ensure the data privacy and ethical AI development if AI laws in all those countries are different.

Ahead of [World Summit AI Americas](https://americas.worldsummit.ai/) (24th-24th April 2024, Palais de congrès de Montréal, Montréal), we asked [Joel Gallant](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joel-gallant-entrepreneur/), 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.

**What do you think are the 3 most important things for businesses in relation to AI at the moment?  
  **

Businesses need to make sure they protect information the right way. I also think that a business can't ignore AI and think of a bright future. And 3rd, businesses need to start thinking about applied AI in their field and not only language models.

 

 

**What do you think are the 3 most important things for humanity in relation to AI at the moment?**

**  **

Security, regulations and boundaries.

 

 

**How do you think AI will make its biggest mark in the next 5, 10, 20 years?**

**  **

Education is a field that has not seen major improvements in the past 100 year and I believe it's about to change and will be the biggest mark in Ai in the next 5-10 years.

 

**Which 2 people do you admire most in the world of AI in terms of their work?**

**  **

Elon Musk is a free thinker and I love him. Matt Zeiler is working in the language field and I can't wait to see where he takes his company.

 

**What are you most excited about taking part in the WSAI Series?**

**  **

Giving a speech on stage!
