World Summit AI has never shied away from big discussions. Our community of 52,000 multi-disciplinary experts, focused on solving real-life challenges using AI and emerging technology, have asked us for alternative opportunities to learn, debate and hear insights from experts – with one of the first suggested topics to be on how to put AI to work for the planet.

From the news we consume to our suggested Netflix content, algorithms are becoming increasingly influential on our day-to-day existence. But as more sectors recognise the economic potential of machines at large-scale application, the impact of technology is becoming far greater.

Today, machine learning models are frequently applied to guide decisions in areas such as assessing candidate risk in loan applications. Suddenly, a computer’s decisions have become far more than simply which films we’re most likely to enjoy. However, we often find that increasingly complex machine learning models lack ‘explainability’ — the professionals depending on them can’t interpret them.

It’s hard to think of a more buzzed about — or hotly competitive — technology over the last few years than artificial intelligence. As more companies push for new ways to implement deep learning and data science to reap the benefits of automation, it’s clear that an AI revolution isn’t coming: It’s already here.

If your company or organization has been waiting for practical, viable ways to implement AI in your business, there’s arguably never been a better time than now. Here’s how companies in three industries are using AI to make a tangible difference in their businesses.

We are a group of doctors, most of whom are working frontline in the NHS in the fight against COVID-19. We have established this fundraise to provide much needed equipment and supplies to our frontline colleagues so that they have the necessary protection and tools to treat their patients.

Although the NHS is doing its best to order supplies, there are significant shortages at a local level. With a UK and International supply chain already in place, we have been sourcing and delivering PPE, masks, visors and sanitiser directly to staff since the last week of March. We have established a logistics network to supply medics in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool and we are delivering the equipment directly into the hands of the staff who need it. We need your support to keep the PPE coming as it is likely the situation will get worse in the UK before it gets better. Please give generously.

Even though the AI acronym is on the lips of every data scientist, IT manager and developer hungry for new technologies, the term has its origins around the middle of the last century. After the first reference to AI in the late 1950’s, a couple of years passed before people could grasp what it was really about, and got a taste of what it was.

In the late seventies, we became aware of the notion of artificial intelligence through the well-known Star Wars, Terminator, Robocop, Alien and Blade Runner movies. Above and beyond the blend of science fiction and action, these movies depict visionary scenarios involving AI and its various components. This era coincides with the decreasing cost of AI computing, and its increasing accessibility.

Our community has always been at the heart of everything we do. We build summits in line with the UN global goals, we create meaningful dialogue around global tech for good. Therefore, we feel it would be contradictory of us not to take action in light of the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation.
