EVENT - AI FOR GOOD GLOBAL SUMMIT 2024: SHAPING THE FUTURE WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Goodness & Co was at AI for Good Global Summit 2024 !
Opening the summit, Doreen Bogdan-Martin, underscored the transformative potential of AI and stressed the need for inclusive and secure AI governance. “The pessimist sees DIFFICULTY in every opportunity. The optimist sees OPPORTUNITY in every difficulty. Call me an optimist, but I see this nascent AI regulatory landscape as a unique opportunity to ensure that every country and every voice counts. Let’s use the United Nations as a catalyst for progress. This is our moment and responsibility to write the next chapter in the great story of humanity and technology – and make it safe, inclusive, and sustainable.”
We believe that AI is reshaping our world, transforming how we tackle business and societal challenges. This summit filled us with incredible energy to harness this technology for positive change. Time is now to ensure we steer its development towards positive impact as we are the AI generation.
Here are our key takeaways:
💡 Key Discussions & Insights
• Updating governance frameworks to match AI’s sophistication is key. As Charlie Munger said, “Show me the incentives and I’ll show you the outcome.” Let’s ensure our incentives align with a sustainable and inclusive future.
• Companies must leverage AI as it can give us superpowers and enhance human capital.
🌐 Future Outlook
• Upskilling the workforce to harness AI effectively is crucial.
• While AI won’t save humanity on its own, it will significantly contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
• International collaboration is essential to make AI safe, inclusive, and sustainable.
💚 Innovative Solutions
From workshops on AI solutions for SDGs to interactive journeys with generative AI and neural interfaces, we know the cutting-edge advancements that can drive meaningful change. Spotted on 3 of them for you :
• Vasco Pedro’s presentation of Unable Halo, a non-invasive neural interface combined with generative AI, that transforms bio-signals into language for seamless communication for ALS patients.
• Taryn Southern’s unveiling of implantable brain computer interfaces (BCIs), enabling individuals with disabilities to perform tasks with just their thoughts (creating digital art, operating a robotic arm etc).
• Marco Tempest’s live interactive journey, combining generative AI, storytelling, gestural sensing, and near real-time video diffusion, offering a glimpse into an AI-augmented future.
