#AI folks,
Here are my take away notes from a selection of the amazing speakers at the @globalaisummit.

I summarized them in 38 tweets, 1 for each speaker, so you don't have to spend hours catching up with what is happening or who is who in the world of AI.

You are welcome.
. @LexGreensill CEO of Greensill

Use #AI powered #fintech to help people access their salary as they earn it. Check out what he is doing at greensill.com with earnd. @globalaisummit
Dr. Qi Tian, Chief Scientist in AI @Huawei

The AI community should build standardized general and inclusive AI benchmark to address tasks to enable quick verification and evaluation of #AI models.@globalaisummit
Tara Chklovski @TaraChk Founder Technovation

We need to encourage #complex systems thinking. Social issues do not have a simple technology solutions. There is no one silver one bullet. Problems and solutions are highly intersectional. @globalaisummit
. @AnoushehAnsari CEO XPRIZE Foundation

We launched a rapid #Covid testing competition to create very cheap affordable testing. We are looking at using #AI tools to help people be more resilient by upskilling and reskilling in a very short time <60days.
@globalaisummit
.@NicolausHenke CEO of @quantumblack

For each 1 $ "tech" spend, companies spend 10$ of "change" spend.
#AI needs strong leadership sponsorship. I know a CEO who spends 2 days with engineers to review AI portfolio & impact. He is a role model of how to work around engineers.
.@bradkeywell CEO of @Uptake

Industrial #IOT is not about replacing people, it is about giving them the superpowers to be amazing in their activity, with better outcome, precision, and productivity.
@globalaisummit
Robert Silvers, Partner @Paul_Hastings

Companies have an obligation to use #AI in a way that is fair, transparent & compliant with laws. Focus on demographic profiles & audit algorithmic outcomes. Don't disadvantage already underrepresented population.
Regulators are watching.
Dr. Feiyu Xu Global Head of AI @SAP_Berlin

Deep learning has very good accuracy but lowest explainability. Explainability is important to:

1. Decision maker: Doctors, investors need to understand the #ai recommendation.
2. Developers: So they understand what models work or not.
Renaud Vedel @ReVe6el, France Ministerial Coordinator for #AI

AI changes models of production of organization. It destroys and create jobs. You have to lead people in that change by retraining the workforce. Not just data science but everything that comes with it.@globalaisummit
Innocent Muhizi @IBMuhizi, CEO RISA

Top impact areas in Rwanda with #AI:

1. Healthcare: Deployed a solution for medical consult online using #AI for basic meds prescriptions.
2. Agriculture: Using #ai to predict farming conditions that impact future output yield.@globalaisummit
Ahmad Hanandeh, Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship @MoDEEJO, Jordan

We are looking at #AI as a #virtualemployee of the government who is going to help deliver citizen centric services.
@globalaisummit
Andrew Wyckoff, Director @OECD
We developed 5 principles towards a responsible stewardship of trustworthy AI:

1. Inclusive growth, for everyone.
2. Human centric
3. Transparency, explainability
4. Robustness safety
5. Accountability @globalaisummit
Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams, @Stellarated

.@PeterDiamandis Founder of XPRIZE Foundation

The world biggest problems are its biggest opportunities. You want to be a billionaire, help a billion people.
@globalaisummit
Masayoshi Son @masason Chairman @SoftBank

I am a risk taker. With the Vision fund, we bring capital to world biggest problems.

Highways might be prohibited for human drivers just like horses are not allowed on highways. Autonomous will be much safer & faster.@globalaisummit
François Candelon, Global Director, @BCGhenderson

AI doesn't yet doesn't have society acceptance.
@globalaisummit
Dan Brennan VP @bakerhughesco @C3_AI

Top applications we are seeing: assets reliability,predictive maintenance,supply chain optimization.@globalaisummit
Tony Chan President @KAUST_News
What role do you foresee for university in building #AI?

1. Educate citizens tech, sociology,ethics.
2. Hikmah: Bastion of Collaborative research.
3. Focus on impact rather than profit.
4. Freedom of intellectual pursuit.@globalaisummit
Gabriella Dorlhiac @gfdorlhiac Director @icc_brasil

Collaboration is how we are going to get the best out of AI. Big Tech's has an interest to get their supply chain as integrated as possible. Facebook launched an initiative to foster innovation in agriculture.@globalaisummit
Anett Numa @Anetttu Digital Transformation Adviser, @e_estonia

Public sector should guide #AI development with academia & private sector.
For example, give private sector companies financial support when they use #AI tech.@globalaisummit

How to better connect people and computers?
We need to think in terms of human in the loop computing and hyperconnectivity.@globalaisummit
Dr. Esam Alwagait Director NIC @SDAIA_SA

#AI4peace:

1. Preventive: Just like Eisenhower Atoms for peace, limit #AI defense applications.

Irakli Beridze, Head of the Centre for AI @UNICRI

@INTERPOL_Cyber examines crime prevention:

- Scan advertisement to disrupt human trafficking

@globalaisummit
Nicolas Miailhe @n_miailhe President, The Future Society

AI governance is less about reinventing, more about adopting and inserting proper risk management in existing processes to be more fair and transparent.@globalaisummit
Stephen Schwarzman, Chairman @blackstone

#AI field is so fast moving & new, you have a mismatch between people providing services & others providing a governance framework. This is a challenge since the tech can do amazing things & also cause a lot of problems.@globalaisummit

Building back better with #AI:

Ability of citizen to benefit from #AI solutions need to be examined from the sieve of what could block it.
Cost, access, safety & culture matter most.@globalaisummit
Walden Rhines President @Cornami_Inc

Dealing with #privacy of #data both at the #edge and in the #cloud is challenging.

In next 5 years #quantum computing might break all securities. Fortunately alternatives exist with fully #Homomorphic #encryption.@globalaisummit
Antoine Blondeau Founder Alpha Intelligence Capital, @alpha_fund

Phases of #AI:
'00-'15 deep tech, pioneering phase

I don't believe in AI winter.We are entering a value creation AI era.@globalaisummit

2/ Day 1:#chouwen river.

The drive is amazing through the mountains. The 45 min #Hike through forest to get to the river is rewarding.

The whole area is the birthplace of the #legend of Adonis & Astarte.

@Jabal_Moussa thank you for taking care of this piece of heaven. ImageImage
3/ Day 1: @EhdenHorsh

The beautiful mountainous city of Ehden offered wonderful scenic views and elaborate trails through pine trees.
