--- title: Exploring the future of AI with William Caron, COO, 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. image: https://blog.worldsummit.ai/hubfs/William%20Caron.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 William Caron, COO, CLIC Labs Posted by [World Summit AI](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/author/world-summit-ai) on Apr 3, 2024 3:45:14 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 [William Caron](https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-caron-286089136/), 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. **What do you think are the 3 most important things for businesses in relation to AI at the moment?   ** 1. Ethical use and transparency 2. Continuous education and training programs 3. Data governance and quality   ![William Caron](https://blog.worldsummit.ai/hs-fs/hubfs/William%20Caron.png?width=200&height=200&name=William%20Caron.png)   **What do you think are the 3 most important things for humanity in relation to AI at the moment?** **  ** 1. Ethical development and use of this new technology 2. Collaboration 3. Sustainability and environnement     **How do you think AI will make its biggest mark in the next 5, 10, 20 years?** **  ** AI's trajectory over the next few decades suggests a profound impact across several domains. Here’s how I think AI might make its biggest mark in the next 5, 10, and 20 years: **Next 5 years | Integration and personalization** Enhanced automation and AI-driven analytics that will result in optimisation of different process in the business sector. Integration in healthcare to make treatments more effective and accessible. And AI personal assistants in everyday life will become more sophisticated. **Next 10 years | Innovation and Efficiency** Urban mobility will become more efficient with autonomous vehicles. AI will play a key role in climate science and energy efficiency. **Next 20 years | Transformation and Discovery** AI could lead to breakthroughs in understanding genetic diseases, aging, and brain-computer interfaces, potentially revolutionizing treatments and extending human lifespan. The fusion of AI with quantum computing may solve complex problems currently beyond reach, such as intricate simulations for drug discovery and materials science.   **Which 2 people do you admire most in the world of AI in terms of their work?** **  ** Andrew Ng and Geoffrey Hinton.   **What are you most excited about taking part in the WSAI Series?** **  ** The unique opportunity to share my visions with a global audience, the chance to explore future collaborations and learn from the best in the field of artificial intelligence.    ---   Follow with William on [X](https://www.twitter.com/William79617889)   --- **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!
