Vice President JD Vance joined the American Dynamism Summit in Washington, D.C., March 18 to discuss the future of AI. WASHINGTON -- Vice President JD Vance knocked recent globalization efforts that use "cheap labor as a crutch" while simultaneously hampering innovation on the global scale during a Tuesday tech and artificial intelligence speech. "Our workers, the populists, on the one hand, the tech optimists on the other, have been failed by this government," he said. "Not just the government of the last administration, but the government in some ways of the last 40 years, because there were two conceits that our leadership class had when it came to globalization." Vance explained that recent globalization efforts falsely assumed that world leaders could "separate the making of things from the design of things," citing the belief was that poorer nations would create goods such as cellphones, while wealthier nations would move "further up the value change."

On Tuesday 4th February 2025, the Children's AI Summit brought together around 150 children from across the UK to share their messages for global leaders, policymakers, and AI developers on what the future of AI should look like. Hosted by the Children and AI team in The Alan Turing Institute's Public Policy Programme and Queen Mary University of London, the event aimed to put children's voices and experiences centre stage by exploring how the technology impacts young people today, and how children can shape its future. As part of the summit, a Children's Manifesto for the Future of AI was developed. This incorporates ideas that were submitted in the run-up to the event, and was refined with the help of summit participants. The Turing's Children and AI team are attending the Paris AI Action Summit this week and will be taking the Children's Manifesto for the Future of AI with them, as well as screening a short film made at the Children's AI Summit.

The AI Fringe returned for a second year on 5 June. The event was designed to complement the AI Seoul Summit which was co-hosted by the UK and South Korea governments. The goals of the AI Fringe are 1) to bring together the views of industry, civil society and academia on safe and beneficial AI, 2) to provide a platform for all communities to engage in the discussion, 3) to enhance understanding of AI and its impacts so organisations can harness its benefits. This year, the Fringe comprised a half-day event with the key elements being two panel discussions. The first addressed AI safety, and the panel reflected on progress over the last 12 months.

Efficient Methods for Natural Language Processing: Roy Schwartz is Professor of NLP at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. We discuss an important survey paper (co-written by Roy) that presents a broad overview of existing methods to improve NLP efficiency through the lens of NLP pipelines. Building a premier industrial AI research and product group .. in three years: Hung Bui is the CEO of Vietnam-based, VinAI, explains the process of building a team that within a span of three years found itself listed among the Top 20 Global Companies in AI Research. Stanford researchers recently introduced tools to help users and developers understand large language models (LLM) in their totality. Given the central role of LLMs in NLP and in GenerativeAI, this suite of tools is an important step towards better transparency for language models.

If you thought Alexa was only there to tell you the weather or who scored in the football, think again. Amazon now envisions its virtual assistant becoming a'trusted adviser and companion', and'anticipating' what we want to do, according to its chief scientist. Speaking at the Web Summit in Lisbon yesterday, Rohit Prasad said: 'If I ask Alexa, what hike should I do? Just like a friend, because it knows me, Alexa should tell me: you should do this hike.' The tech giant is envisioning a home with various sensors in each room - from microphones to ultrasound - working in the background, he said.

As developments, standards and controversy around Artificial Intelligence (AI) explodes, compelling new groups are emerging that will drive expansion and implementation of AI at a new pace and depth. However, one such exclusive, burgeoning collective entitled #AIShowbiz Executive Roundtable is making particular moves. This Roundtable is one of the first business communities in the country solely dedicated to the intersection of AI and the entertainment industry, and it has powerful plans for 2018. In fact, the #AIShowbiz Executive Roundtable is an ancillary property of the larger #AIShowbiz Summit which actually just completed its second-year of panels and keynotes with various influencers in AI from around the world during a day-long conference in Los Angeles, California. The overall #AIShowbiz organization is founded and helmed by Molly Lavik, creator of MentorInsight, a media and market development company.

More than a month has passed since our incredible first-time experience attending the 2022 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos. The trip to Davos, the people I met, the conversations I had, and the events I attended helped me understand that Citibeats is not a fancy personal project about how to use technology for social good. To me, more than a company (and a great one, thanks to all my colleagues), Citibeats is an idea. And this idea, now more than ever is absolutely necessary. I think there has never been a historical period so lucidly conscious of the change.

Two major trends Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are going to define the future of fintechs, said Soumya Rajan, Founder & CEO, Waterfield Advisors, at the FE Modern BFSI Summit. As for the emerging trends in the financial sector, Rajan noted two big themes, connectivity and computing, which are going to shape up the future. As far as connectivity is concerned, India has 750 million smartphone users, which is likely to become 1 billion by 2026. Rajan said that on the demographics front, the Gen Ys, and the Gen Zs are digital natives, which rely more on the technology for their financial services. In 2021, around 770 billion digital transactions happened globally, of which around 40 billion were with regard to mobile money.
