At The Good AI, we strongly believe Artificial Intelligence (AI) should be inclusive and celebrate diversity. However, AI is also the reflector of its creators and this translates into the reproduction of certain biases into AI products related to race, gender or sexual orientation among others. The following article from the MIT Technology Review explains how. In the light of this, the tech industry has an important responsibility towards society, and the death of George Floyd at the hands of a city police officer in Minneapolis, USA on 25 May 2020, -one in a long series of racists attacks against African Americans -, should urge us to take action. We need to make sure we are not perpetuating and letting racism or any other kind of discrimination take roots in our AI systems.

If we believe we should leave everything to technology to solve all of our problems, we might be making a big mistake. That's the core messages from deep thinker and thought leader Daniel Smachtenberger. Daniel is specialized in catastrophic risk analyses. And he's showing us a way out, or better said, he has the capacity to think himself a way out to…well, most of our current big issues. A major one is our exponentially growing big tech.

At the beginning of 2021, President Emmanuel Macron and Bavarian Prime Minister Markus Söder pledged to intensify cooperation between Bavaria and France in the field of technology and innovation. In this context, on October 23, the launch of an Artificial Intelligence competition named "AI Cup" was announced. Mathilde Mougeot, holder of the Industrial Chair "Industrial Data Analytics and Machine Learning" of ENS Paris-Saclay and her team who organize jointly with the University of Passau, this new challenge whose theme is "AI for a better world" unveiled the modalities. AI-Cup is a Franco-Bavarian initiative to support the future generation of AI entrepreneurs and to create innovative AI start-ups in Europe. It is aimed at students or PhD students from the academic field in Bavaria and France, who can demonstrate not only their scientific skills in the field of Artificial Intelligence but also their entrepreneurial skills.

In The Feeling of Power, a story by celebrated American science fiction author Isaac Asimov, humanity has forgotten how to conduct even the simplest mathematical equations. In a distant future, complex machines conduct all operations, as men and women watch bewildered. Suddenly a man rediscovers pencil and paper arithmetic, empowering him to perform simple multiplications without relying on machine aid. Stunned by his new powers, he shares the discovery with Earth's government. The military establishment quickly seizes on the new powers to build a more effective, human-run space fleet to replace artificial intelligence and defeat Earth's enemy, planet Deneb.

Critical technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, has already defined our world and will increasingly do so in the future. In this context, we must remember that technology is neither positive nor negative but rather a reflection of its curation. This notion creates a responsibility that our leaders - as the curators - must guide its development, implementation and accessibility in a way that is reflective of the values of the society we wish to create, not simply a projection and perpetuation of the realities and biases of our history. The responsibility for leaders is to face the exponential and transformative potential of technology and leverage it for the betterment of society - while proactively overcoming the risks presented. Innovators worldwide are showing that increased equality, and equity, is possible through harnessing the power of emerging technologies.

Did you miss the opportunity to join the conversation on Artificial Intelligence and how we impact the next frontier of our humanity? First, we're so sorry that you missed it! The event took place on Saturday, 20 February 2021 at 09:00 AM Pacific Time (US & Canada). We had an incredible time together discussing our role with black leaders, top experts, and innovators from the world's best tech companies and our community. That's EXACTLY why we'll make the replay available.

The number of unicorns (those who have a valuation of over $1 billion) is also growing steadily in India. In 2020 alone, 11 startups from India joined the unicorn club, which boasts of Paytm, Ola, Zomato, Cars 24, and 34 others. The above figures are intriguing and contrary to the early fears raised by several industry observers. The Indian startup ecosystem was projected for a steep decline by many in March 2020 due to the Covid-induced bedbound economic environment. Technology interventions and innovative ideas played a pivotal role in resuscitating the growth path.

Not only has 2020 been one of the most challenging years in the history of humanity, but it has also completely transformed our way of thinking and working. Many of the top technology trends help us navigate the crisis. Throughout the year, COVID-19 has hurt all areas of life, causing businesses to close, economies collapse, and people to be anxious. Amid panic and uncertainty, technology and connectivity have become vital elements that have given people and companies hope, courage, optimism, and the competence to continue. The year was marked by many technological trends surrounding the cloud, robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and augmented reality (AR), leading companies through the crisis.

The economic recession that follows as a consequence of the Covid-19 crisis and in particular the demise of certain sectors of the economy (physical retail, hospitality sector, etc) means that there will be greater pressure on politicians around the world to consider how to stimulate GPD growth in the post-pandemic world. However, there are also increasing pressures on politicians to combat the threat posed by Climate Change. Are the desired objectives of GDP and employment growth as well as reducing pollution at odds with each other? What if there is a pathway to GDP growth with the creation of new jobs and yet at the same time we are able to reduce emissions of Green House Gasses (GHGs)? A report entitled "How AI can enable a sustainable future" by PWC and commissioned by Microsoft (lead authors Celine Herweijer of PWC and Lucas Joppa of Microsoft) estimates that using AI for environmental applications across four sectors – agriculture, water, energy and transport. The report estimated that such applications could contribute up to $5.2 trillion USD to the global economy in 2030, a 4.4% increase relative to business as usual.
