Written by Solveig Helland, Senior Full Stack Engineer, Data Scientist and GPT-3 – “The AI Trajectory 2023+ Virtual Conference Wrap-up”
“AI – Fork in the Road. Stay in the Race or Change the Game” fireside chat with Andrea Latino, Global Digital Transformation & Innovation Leader, and Innovation & Digital Growth Manager, Nestlé and Dalith Steiger, Co-Founder of SwissCognitive, World-Leading AI Network
During our discussions, we heard some of the most important challenges that we need to solve in order to shift towards people-literate technology. Challenges include the need for labelled and reliable datasets, fragmented data within organisations, and a lack of expertise in developing and training algorithms. One way to address some of these challenges is to improve data literacy. This means educating individuals, particularly c-level executives, on how to become more data literate. By addressing these challenges, we can unlock the full potential of AI and use it to benefit society.
“Shifting from Technology-Literate People to People-Literate Technology” panel discussion: Jeff Winter, Industry Executive, Manufacturing, Microsoft | Thuraya Al-Harthi, Innovation & Emerging Technology Senior Specialist | Ministry of Transport, Communication and Information Technology, Muscat, Oman | Kathrin Kind-Trueller, Leader in Autonomous Vehicles, Senior Research Scientist in AI for Vehicle Control, Volkswagen | Patrick Bangert, VP of Artificial Intelligence, Samsung SDS | Luca Baldassarre, Lead Data Scientist, Advanced Analytics Center of Expertise, Director, SwissRE
We discussed the media’s role in shaping the future of AI and how AI can help reporters and other media professionals. We also heard the importance of the public challenging business and world leaders to make the world a better place.
“Eat or Heat. Renewed Expectations on AI” fireside chat with Ben Bloch, Journalist, Technology Strategist, Serial Entrepreneur & Senior Strategy Executive, Founder & CEO, Bloch Holdings Inc. and Dalith Steiger, Co-Founder of SwissCognitive, World-Leading AI Network
The ethical and legal implications of generative AI were another important topic for discussion. A key focus was on bias in AI, and how to manage it when AI is becoming more prevalent in our daily lives. We should switch our focus on what is missing, whether it be data or diverse perspectives. By addressing these gaps, we can create AI systems that are more inclusive, fair, and beneficial for society.

The public perception of AI is often limited, with most people having little knowledge about what it is and how it works. In order to improve public understanding of AI, it is important to educate people about its opportunities and limitations. This does not have to be expensive and is essential for helping people understand the role of AI in their lives and its potential benefits.

AI can be a powerful tool in addressing the climate crisis, particularly in the area of climate adaptation. One of the key ways it can help is by providing actionable insights through forecasting and modelling. For example, AI can be used to predict and mitigate the risk of wildfires, allowing us to better allocate resources and respond to potential threats. Additionally, AI can be used to optimize resource use and improve decision-making, helping us to reduce our carbon footprint and mitigate the effects of climate change. Overall, AI has the potential to play a significant role in helping us address the climate crisis and build a more sustainable future.
