This is actually the best real-world use of AI I’ve seen so far.

Wow! These "Moonwalker" shoes allow you to walk at the same pace as running! Looking like a pair of futuristic roller skates, they boost your own pace using AI tech - providing a similar sensation to a conveyor belt. #technology #AI #innovate

A Step Too Far? The Moonwalkers' Dilemma As we glide into the future with Moonwalkers' electric propulsion, it's hard not to feel a buzz of excitement. These nifty gadgets promise to revolutionize our commute, turning mundane walks into effortless glides. But before we strap on these personal conveyor belts, let's pause and ponder – are we stepping towards innovation or into a pitfall of laziness? While the idea of zipping past pedestrians with ease is undeniably cool, one can't help but wonder about the implications. Will our muscles atrophy as we swap strides for slides? Could our bustling sidewalks turn into bumper lanes for high-speed Moonwalkers? And let's not forget the potential fashion faux pas – will these gadgets clash with our carefully curated outfits? There are many pros and cons to be considered before we contemplate this stride into the future. The real questions is would I buy a pair? Thanks Pascal BORNET for sharing a possible view into the future. #Innovation #Tech #Moonwalkers #FutureOfCommute #ConvenienceVsEffort

🚄💡 Introducing a groundbreaking leap in transportation: the world's first power-free suspended maglev train, supported by AI. This marvel of #engineering utilizes permanent magnets for levitation, eliminating the need for electricity to stay afloat. A testament to sustainable innovation, it redefines #highspeed travel by merging cutting-edge #tech with eco-friendly principles. An exciting development for the #railway industry and beyond. #gigadgets

In order to meet the International Energy Assocation’s target of net zero emissions by 2050, we need to annually capture and store 1.2 gigatonnes of CO2 by 2030. This is roughly equivalent to the weight of 240 million adult African elephants. The world currently captures 50 million tonnes a year - 4% of the 2030 requirement. Even with dramatically increased investment in planned new projects, we will be lucky to get to 40% of the required number by 2030. The XPRIZE Carbon Capture competition, with a prize purse of $100m, has seen a number of credible new technologies that have the potential to scale annual capture to gigatonne level. The competition has had a dramatic impact on innovation and investment, with some truly remarkable technologies on display, not only amongst the 20 finalists. And also very gratifying seeing an African presence amongst the finalists. Innovation is global…. #XPRIZE

A big thanks to XPRIZE Carbon Removal for recognizing Arca as an innovator in the carbon removal industry. Our technology is a new pathway to stabilize our climate, with gigatonne potential and an ultra-light footprint. #XPRIZECarbonRemoval #GreatPlaceToWork #GreatPlaceToRock #CarbonRemoval #RockingCO2 #environment #climatechange #innovation #climateaction

Excited to share that Mati Carbon has made it to the Top 20 finalists — selected from more than 1,300 teams across 88 countries over 3 years of assessment — in the last stage of #XPRIZECarbonRemoval competition, with a grand prize of $50mn to be awarded to the winners in 2025! 🌍 In only 2024, Mati is on track to deliver more than $1mn in increased income for the smallholder and marginal farmers earning less than $4-$10/day in the Global South (via ~20-30% boosted crop yields and pesticide reduction). Mati aims to touch 50,000 farmers just by 2025, with several corporate buyers from the @Frontier, Milkywire etc program secured already, with initial CDR tons delivered as well (Stripe, Shopify, H&M, Klarna, Spotify etc); 🌍 The above #SDG1 developmental impact is besides the strengthened climate adaptation and resilience (#A&R) impact for the small farmers — enabled via 'regenerative' impact on the soil itself of ERW (enhanced health, fertility and water retention). High integrity engineered carbon removals (#CDRs) via EWR trading at >$300/ton price can play a pivotal role towards the ~$300bn annual adaptation finance gap in the Global South. I argue more on this here: https://lnkd.in/epz2BJQQ 🌍 Mati was chosen top 20 by XPRIZE with its demonstrated operational maturity to remove carbon at scale through its high-permanence enhanced rock weathering (ERW) approach; and Mati with an ambition to remove 1 million tons annually by 2030. XPRIZE Carbon Removal’s Top 20 finalists are paving the way forward to achieve carbon dioxide removal (CDR) at a gigatonne scale by 2050 — via various technologies across Air, Land, Rocks and Oceans — congratulations to all the winners! #Gettingtogigaton Shantanu Agarwal Jake Jordan

Today marks the start of a new era for #Ford in Europe. We started mass production of the All New All-Electric #FordExplorer at our ultra-modern Cologne Electric Vehicle Center. Following a $2 billion investment we have transformed our historic plant, founded in 1930, into a state-of-the-art factory of the future. Artificial intelligence, hundreds of advanced robots and a ‘digital twin’ monitoring every stage of production guarantee the highest quality and efficiency. The electric Explorer combines the best of German engineering, American style and a wealth of equipment. With a range of up to 600 km on a single charge, it means freedom and convenience. It's a step towards a more sustainable automotive future. #ExploringReinvented #ElectricVehicles #EV #Transformation

They conquer uneven ground effortlessly, while wheels struggle to navigate obstacles like steps. Yet, once the ground is level again, legged movement pales in comparison to the swift, energy-efficient glide of wheels. 🛞 Enter the ultimate solution: a hybrid of the two. ✅ Adaptable ✅ Efficient in energy consumption ✅ Speedy on the go What other perks can you imagine for this hybrid mobility?
