Leaders in the artificial intelligence sector from the United Nations, the University of Cambridge and leading global AI policy consultation firms will be heading to Malta this February for the debut AI In Business Malta Summit. This will set the stage for the "bigger and more intensive" AI in Business Malta Expo, set to take place in September. "Artificial intelligence is everywhere these days," said Matthew Fenech, an AI Policy Consultant who has advised the UK and Welsh Parliaments. "It has been described by world-leading economists as'the most important general purpose technology of our era, on a par with electricity.' Stephen Hawking himself said that AI could be'the best […] thing ever to happen to humanity'."
