I had the pleasure of attending the ALL IN AI conference at the Palais des Congrès in Montreal this past week. In short, this two-day event united thousands of professionals, both AI service providers and users, for insightful presentations, discussions, and networking. I wanted to highlight three of the most interesting takeaways from the event: 1️⃣ It’s easy to think AI / statistical techniques can't be inherently discriminatory, but this is far from true. Ensuring the data used in models fairly represents all groups (gender, race, location, etc.) is crucial, and any biases must be addressed and transparently communicated. 2️⃣ A common piece of advice from many speakers was not to use AI just for the sake of it, but to solve a problem or meet customer needs. With all the hype around this technology, it's tempting to dive in, but having a clear purpose and goal is essential for success. 3️⃣ Canadians are killing it. We heard from startups to large, established companies talking about using AI to (1) reduce waste in the transportation and manufacturing sectors, (2) cut carbon emissions, (3) predict wildfires in real-time and alert nearby emergency responders, (4) improve patient care, and many more innovative applications. Overall, the ALL IN AI conference highlighted the transformative potential of AI when applied thoughtfully and responsibly. It was inspiring to see the innovative ways Canadian companies are leading the charge (we are ranked #5 in terms of the Global AI Index). I’m excited to see how these insights and advancements will shape the future of AI across industries!

Abu Dhabi-based G42, led by H.H. Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, has established a strategic partnership with BlackRock, marking a significant step forward in scaling global AI infrastructure. Sheikh Tahnoun, G42 Chairman and National Security Advisor of the #UAE, highlighted the collaboration's potential to drive AI accessibility and foster innovation through the Global AI Infrastructure Investment Partnership (GAIIP) and other key initiatives. Under Sheikh Tahnoun’s leadership, G42 has evolved into a global AI powerhouse, dedicated to using artificial intelligence as a positive force in society. Its mission extends across sectors from molecular medicine to aerospace, with a focus on human-centric applications of AI technology. In recent developments, Kazakhstan has announced plans to enhance its AI and smart infrastructure in cooperation with G42, aiming to elevate its tech landscape. In parallel, G42 and Microsoft are set to open two new research centers in #AbuDhabi, with Microsoft committing $1.5 billion in investments to G42 earlier this year. Sheikh Tahnoun, recently named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in AI, continues to advance G42’s vision of deploying AI technology for the betterment of society on a global scale. https://lnkd.in/dQd5dxZF

The growing prominence of AI across diverse industries has prompted countries in the Middle East to make strategic investments in data centres. This concerted effort goes beyond a mere technological pursuit; it represents a deliberate #strategy to harness the power of #data in driving #innovation. In a recent Bloomberg article, Kamel Al-Tawil, the Managing Director of Equinix MENA, underscores the pivotal role that data centres play in the Middle East's quest for #AI dominance, development, and #implementation. This race to establish #robust data #infrastructure is not just about technological advancement; it is a critical step in positioning these nations as key players in the competitive AI landscape. https://lnkd.in/e_tAmrDb

I had the opportunity to return to GITEX GLOBAL Largest Tech & Startup Show in the World this year, and once again, it was an incredible experience! As a Data Analyst, it was inspiring to see how innovation continues to shape the future, especially in areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Machine Learning, and Cloud Computing. I was impressed by the solutions emerging to transform how we use data in our everyday lives. I also had the pleasure of visiting the WLA SaaS stand, and I want to give a special shout-out to the team for their warm welcome and for the innovative project they are developing! It’s always great to see companies dedicated to bringing impactful solutions to the market. Some of the highlights for me: * Discussions on the impact of AI on process automation and predictive analytics. * The importance of Big Data for real-time strategic decision-making. * How Cloud Computing technologies are enabling the efficient storage and processing of large volumes of data. These insights not only reaffirm how fast technology is advancing, but also how we, data professionals, are at the center of these transformations. Leaving this event with new ideas, tools, and networking connections is just the beginning. Now it’s time to apply what I’ve learned and continue exploring how these innovations can make a real impact on future projects. #Technology #Innovation #DataScience #BigData #MachineLearning #AI #CloudComputing #DataAnalysis #Gitex2024
