AI is shaping the world, who will be shaping AI? The future may be uncertain, but one certainty is that today's youth will be central to shaping it. Acorn Aspiration's mission is to empower and assist teens in learning and shaping the future of AI for positive contributions to the world. More than 1500 young people have participated in Acorn's Bootcamps/Hackathons, Accelerator programs, and conferences to date. Acorn's latest initiative, TeensInAI, was launched at the UN AI for Good Summit in May, and followed by a 5-day Bootcamp/ Hackathon.

London is the Artificial Intelligence (AI) capital of Europe, home to double the number of AI companies* than closest rivals Paris and Berlin combined. That is the key finding of a major piece of research commissioned by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, that for the first time maps the capital's AI ecosystem, highlighting the strength and complexity of London's AI ecosystem and its growing important to the economy. Artificial Intelligence is the ability of machines to exhibit human-like intelligence with the ability to perform tasks such as decision support, reasoning, learning, visual perception, speech recognition, and language translation. Produced for the Mayor by CognitionX, the AI advice platform, the report will help to uncover the opportunities to unlock innovation and investment in London in order to maximise the economic impact of AI on the city, and to support the Mayor's ambition to make London a world-leading Smart City. The report was published on the eve of London Tech Week – an annual event that sees the city open its doors to the international tech community.

As AI and robotics develop side by side, the medium-term future will see infant-like robots that can learn for themselves and crow-like machine intelligences that can teach themselves to use tools, claims a leading AI researcher. But their progress will go far beyond there. In 2018, most people are worried that AI and robotics might automate their jobs and leave them scrabbling in the gig economy for a regular wage. But one AI expert believes that the technologies' ambitions are much bigger than that: in the centuries ahead, AI and robots will "emigrate" from Earth and communicate with each other across the universe, he says. But long before then, general artificial intelligences will emerge that can be taught like human children, and which can teach themselves about how the world works through "power play" and "artificial curiosity", he said.
