Here is a quick recap of the most exciting conversations we experienced on the second day of #OandoAtWEF yesterday!
During a session on engaging ‘Tech for Good’, CEO Alphabet Inc. & Google LLC, @sundarpichai shared insights on being a technology optimist. He stated that...

“In the last month we have seen how AI can help doctors detect breast cancer with more accuracy. We recently launched a better rainfall prediction. At all times, #AI can play a role in climate change. The biggest risk would be failing to work on #AI & make progress with it."

Speaking on “The Power of Youth”, Gun Violence activist, @NaomiWadler said “living everyday in this skin as a black woman, being told that I am less than... I really like raising and lifting the voices of girls of colour because I believe we don’t get as much recognition.”

In the same session, founder of Occupy Wall Street, @beingMicahWhite said that activism is now being integrated more deeply into elite circles. In his words, "Leaders are now very curious of the capacity of youths to mobilize people. They are going to have to work with us."

Another interesting conversation was on the ‘Africa Strategic Outlook Session.’ Bryant Orjiako, Chairman of Seplat said, "I think it's a matter of working out the balance between the need of the continent versus making sure that the climate change narrative is not compromised."

Looking forward to todays' sessions especially the conversation on "Getting to 50-50 Gender Parity."
