"Although there were expected disagreements, I was left with a strong sense of hope in some shared values," writes Larry Magid, CEO of ConnectSafely, reflecting on last week's OxGen AI Summit 2024. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gMNFJCgB

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending Oxford Generative AI Summit in the UK. World leaders in AI discussed various opportunities and challenges of AI applications across industries. One topic was top of mind for all: the responsible and optimal use of AI for our society. Here are my top 5 takeaways from the incredible panels I attended. #oxfordgenAI #responsibleAI #microsoftadvocate

When the present day, the future and history all combine. ⚡ Speaking about the tectonic change underway thanks to AI and how it will lead to the greatest creative revolution since the beginning of humanity, is especially poignant in the lecture theater of a near-500-year-old Jesus College, Oxford. 💥 “Everything else we’ve had to cope with since the 1950s has been a vertical: television advertising is a vertical, the internet, social media, ecommerce, gaming are all verticals. Good for some things and for some brands but not for all,” said our founder and CEO David Jones, speaking at the Oxford Generative AI Summit this month. 🧠 “Gen AI is a horizontal. There is not a single thing that humans use their brains for today that you can’t already do better, faster and cheaper using AI. And the current AI we have is actually pretty crap compared to where we will get to! It's the speed of progress that I’m most excited about.” ✨ David was one of a mind-expanding line-up of speakers at the Oxford event - hosted in Jesus College, which was founded in 1571 - exploring how Gen AI is already creating monumental waves in marketing. At Brandtech we’ve been leading the way since 2015 and are the world’s leading Gen AI partner for global brands. #GenAI #Brandtech #AIpowered #FutureofAI

OxGen AI Founder and Director Cassidy Bereskin just gave closing remarks, marking the official end of OxGen 2024 🎉 A huge thank you to all our attendees, speakers, sponsors, volunteers, and the Jesus College Oxford team. Thanks to you all, the Summit has become the premier gathering of diverse organizations and perspectives all working to better understand and harness generative AI. We hope to see you all next year! ✨

Our Board Member, Alan Rusbridger, joined the panel at this year's Oxford Generative AI Summit, discussing generative AI and its integration with journalism.   Alan, who is editor of Prospect Magazine and former editor of The Guardian, talked about how anything that makes journalism better must be welcomed and can be especially helpful for searching through data and documents. He also called for bridge building and better relations between Big Tech and news organisations to overcome challenges and pointed out that transparency is the best policy. Being very clear when machines are involved in the journalistic process is critical and instrumental if we are to better preserve trust.    Thank you to Oxford Generative AI Summit for organizing such an engaging and informative summit.

💥 And that's a wrap on Day 2! We closed with a panel on Founders' Perspectives on Generative AI, with Layla Stahr (Jure), Jeff Hawke (Odyssey), Joseph Turner (Deducta), moderated by Harvey Pitt (Alive Industries). Founders building legal AI, visual AI, and supply AI shared insights on how generative AI tools are reshaping the startup landscape and how they impact their product development strategy. They also covered opportunities and challenges with building and/or building with AI.

In our last keynote presentation, we heard from Prof Sandra Wachter, Professor of Technology and Regulation, Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford. Dr. Wachter discussed the harms of misinformation caused by the hallucination of generative AI systems. She covered findings from her new paper, "Do large language models have a legal duty to tell the truth?", a review of the EU regulatory landscape and gaps and opportunities in protecting truthfulness, as well as proposed ideas for reducing hallucinations in LLMs. Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/g2bFEu44
