--- title: Exploring the future of AI with Max Murphy, Data Scientist, Overwatch Data 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. image: https://blog.worldsummit.ai/hubfs/Max%20Murphy-1.png ---   [BOOK NOW](http://worldsummit.ai/tickets/)     ![WSAI Amsterdam Orange no dates 2000x300 (1)](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/WSAI%20Amsterdam%20Orange%20no%20dates%202000x300%20(1).png?width=259&name=WSAI%20Amsterdam%20Orange%20no%20dates%202000x300%20(1).png)   ![IM_Mothership_assets_LOGO_MINT (2)](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/IM_Mothership_assets_LOGO_MINT%20(2).png?width=263&name=IM_Mothership_assets_LOGO_MINT%20(2).png)     [BOOK NOW](http://worldsummit.ai/tickets/) # Exploring the future of AI with Max Murphy, Data Scientist, Overwatch Data Posted by [World Summit AI](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/author/world-summit-ai) on Mar 8, 2024 4:24:54 PM ![World Summit AI](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/hubfs/1.%20World%20Summit%20GIF.gif) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Ahead of [World Summit AI Americas](https://americas.worldsummit.ai/) (24th-24th April 2024, Palais de congrès de Montréal, Montréal), we asked [Max Murphy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/maxmurphy1/), 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. **What do you think are the 3 most important things for businesses in relation to AI at the moment?   ** 1. To include people from all disciplines and backgrounds in deciding how it's used. AI is best when all types of people are a part of its adoption. 2. To keep up to date with the latest developments and problems. It's changing so quickly that you have to keep your finger on the pulse to stay afloat. 3. To remember that it's not a panacea - it has to be used in a shrewd and safe way!   ![Max Murphy-1](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/Max%20Murphy-1.png?width=200&height=200&name=Max%20Murphy-1.png)   **What do you think are the 3 most important things for humanity in relation to AI at the moment?** **  ** 1. To ensure that there is widespread and fair access to it. This technology has the potential to concentrate power in a small group of companies or massively promote equal opportunities for all people (whether that be health or education). 2. To continue treating AI safety as a core part of the development of these systems. It's only by making AI safe that its benefits will be properly felt. 3. Lastly, it will be critical to ensure global cooperation on key AI issues. It's only by ensuring that all countries are on board with AI regulation that genuine progress can be made.     **How do you think AI will make its biggest mark in the next 5, 10, 20 years?** **  ** AI will have a huge impact on all types of fields, from drug discovery to education. But perhaps the most under appreciated impact it'll have will be on crisis response and geopolitics. As climate change increases the frequency of conflict, refugee crises, and other major events, AI might help us stay on top of it and prevent the very worse of this.   **Which 2 people do you admire most in the world of AI in terms of their work?** **  ** [Demis Hassabis](https://www.linkedin.com/in/demishassabis/), Co-Founder of DeepMind – he has made an enormous contribution to AI. He got me excited about this technology ever since I was a teenager, and is also a Londoner! [Matthew Clifford](https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattcliffordef/) – he set up the AI Safety Summit which was held at Bletchley Park in the UK. It was the first of its kind, and sent a clear message to the world that global cooperation on AI matters is crucial.    ---   Follow Max on Twitter [@maxmurphy100](https://twitter.com/maxmurphy100)   --- **Global AI events calendar** **World Summit AI Americas** 24-25 April 2024 Montréal, Canada [americas.worldsummit.ai](https://americas.worldsummit.ai/)   **World AI Week ** 7-11 October 2024 Amsterdam, Netherlands [worldaiweek.ai](https://worldaiweek.ai/)   **World Summit AI** 9-10 October 2024 Amsterdam, Netherlands [worldsummit.ai](https://worldsummit.ai)   **Intelligent Health** 11-12 September 2024 Basel, Switzerland [intelligenthealth.ai](https://intelligenthealth.ai/)    **World Summit AI MENA** 10-11 December 2024 DECC, Doha, Qatar [qatar.worldsummit.ai](https://qatar.worldsummit.ai)    **Share your content with the World Summit AI community**   Got some interesting content you want to share with our community of over 220,000 AI Brains? You can send us anything from a published piece you have written online, white paper, article or interview. [Submit it here. ](https://worldsummit.ai/wsai-community-content/)   Topics: [AI](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/tag/ai), [Interview](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/tag/interview) ## Featured posts ### Posts by Tag - [AI (168)](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/tag/ai) - [Interview (64)](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/tag/interview) - [AIbrains (27)](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/tag/aibrains) - [AI ethics (20)](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/tag/ai-ethics) - [Machine Learning (13)](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/tag/machine-learning) - [Responsible AI (12)](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/tag/responsible-ai) - [World Summit AI (12)](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/tag/world-summit-ai) - [Announcement (10)](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/tag/announcement) - [AI Platforms (9)](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/tag/ai-platforms) - [Press Release (9)](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/tag/press-release) - [Data (7)](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/tag/data) - [HealthTech (7)](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/tag/healthtech) - [InspiredMinds!
