Exploring the future of AI with Raul Rodriguez, Vice President, Woxsen University

Posted by World Summit AI on Apr 12, 2024 11:12:24 AM

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

Exploring the future of AI with Max Murphy, Data Scientist, Overwatch Data

Posted by World Summit AI on Mar 8, 2024 4:24:54 PM

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.

Exploring the future of AI with Véronique Van Vlasselaer, Analytics and AI Lead for South, West and East Europe, SAS

Posted by World Summit AI on Oct 10, 2023 8:36:25 PM

Ahead of World Summit AI (11th-12th October 2023, Taets Art & Event Park, Amsterdam), we asked Véronique Van Vlasselaer, Analytics and AI Lead for South, West and East Europe, SAS,  her thoughts on the future of AI.

As an expert in the field, what critical challenges do you believe the AI community needs to address to ensure responsible & and ethical AI deployment?

I see bias in AI as critical challenge. Trust and ethical principles are essential for all types of AI, including GAI innovation. This is especially important for industries that use a lot of sensitive data, such as the financial services and healthcare industry.
AI poses significant risks if it is created, deployed and managed without intentionality and discipline. For example, AI systems trained on biased data may learn historical patterns of discrimination against women, people of color or vulnerable populations. If biases in AI systems are not identified and mitigated before deploying and using them, those deployed systems may inherit social biases and cause unintended consequences at scale.
At SAS, we like to have the broader conversation about AI and Generative AI so that data scientists realize the holistic context in which you have to put this. I think ultimately the conversation has to be about trust, transparency and governance of data and models that build trust.
