Adriana Tapus Thank you for hosting my talk at the Hi! Paris symposium on AI and society! https://lnkd.in/gzyp_B8Q What a cool mix of talks and speakers from all around the world: * Future directions in ML and robotics * Social and socially assistive robotics * Design, art, and interaction * Medical robotics * Disaster and battlefield robotics * Ethics and regulation Robotics is hard. Deploying robots into the world in valuable, sustainable, appropriate, and acceptable ways is just as hard. It's great to hear about progress being made toward tackling these challenges.

Currently going through the survey results from Kubernetes Community Days Zurich! Thank you to the 87 people who helped us improve our event. 🙌 Some feedback was a given, some was new, and some issues from last year didn’t come up again because we’ve already made improvements! Here are some highlights and questions for our community: 🌟 Highlights: - Overall Event Rating: 4.4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - 95% are somewhat or very likely to attend our future events ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 📋 Feedback and Questions: - There’s still a debate between more vegan and more meat options. Should we consider vegan/meat instead of vegetarian next time to make everyone happy? - We will most certainly host KCD Rejects next year, but it will be very technical, aimed at those who felt the main event sessions weren’t technical enough. 💻🔧 - The biggest issue was, once again, the food queues (I agree!). But don’t worry. Viktor Farcic had a great idea for solving this next time! 🍽️🕒 Thank you all for your invaluable feedback and support. Let’s make the next KCD Zürich even better! 💪✨

A privilege to be part of a company using transformational technologies like AI to solve problems dealing with basic human needs like food production. Many thanks to Jensen and NVIDIA for taking the time to hear about how we're using their products to unlock transformational change in agriculture! #ai #farming #nztech #futureoffarming

Some Chamois numbers from DSEI. Equivalent Advertising Value (EAV) is a method we use to measure the value of published PR. We use a calculation based upon known or estimated advertising rate cards with a conservative multiplier added, to take account of the fact that editorial is generally more interesting and attractive to readers than an advert.

I remembered my experiences with the Bindor group: good experiences that were informative, inspiring, and full of excitement, discoveries, and achievements that I use often. Thank you all for this beautiful experience - Dr. Alireza Hosseini - Dr. Chaharsoghi - Dr. Mousavi - Mrs. Hedie Akbari and myself Creativity in information technology, The bindour app

Today, we simply wanted to take a moment to say thank you! Without your support and help from the get-go, this adventure simply couldn't exist. We are very different from the companies we've been able to incubate and launch so far; we have far fewer resources to recruit teams. It is hardly surprising given that as much money as possible should be dedicated to innovation, (which is what we want, and why TFTP exists in the first place). Compared with other start-ups with a similar level of notoriety, we shouldn’t have 12 people on board but 100 employees! Without you, it would have been impossible to keep the project afloat. Thanks to you, we can count on: 👉 7,000 reviewers, who help us select the best innovations, free of charge. 👉 14 scientific expert volunteers on our scientific committee, who review the selection of evaluators four times a year. 👉 12 members on the Supervisory Board. They represent your interests, and without them, many mistakes would probably have been made. They ensure that every major strategic decision is carefully thought through. 👉 A number of dedicated (and brilliant) partners within our galaxy of action! They are at the heart of the TFTP reactor. They're the ones who get the ball rolling with every communication and allow TFTP to grow in lots of different ways. 👉 You, as one of our 100,000+ shareholders! As you know, unlike a donation, an investment in TFTP makes you a co-owner of this adventure. Without your regular support for a myriad of things, in particular here on social networks, TFTP would never have been able to achieve a fraction of what it has today (which by the way, is just the beginning). 👉 9 first validated investments, and the teams behind all these first companies, who turn this crazy energy for the climate into concrete and tangible improvements! In short: thank you for being here! We can't tell you how lucky we are to have you 💚 To help us roll out 100 large-scale open source decarbonization projects, join us in 2 minutes on team-planet.com.

The Broken Food System: A Call for Action Our food system is undeniably broken. Despite increasing awareness, we find ourselves facing dire challenges that threaten both our planet and our health. Over 80% of all arable land is dedicated to producing animal feed and oils, an allocation that starkly highlights the inefficiencies and unsustainability of our current practices. Simultaneously, we waste enough food to feed the entire African continent, showcasing a glaring contradiction in resource distribution. Biodiversity, both on land and in our oceans, is being depleted at an alarming rate, a consequence of industrial agricultural practices and overfishing. Coupled with this, rising global temperatures exacerbate environmental degradation, further threatening food security. Malnutrition, surprisingly the leading cause of death not just in the global south but also increasingly in the global north, underscores the paradox of our food system: abundance marred by poor nutrition. Central to many of these challenges is animal production. Last week's panel discussion underscored the urgent need for a more sustainable food system, focusing on the concept of a complementary protein shift. This shift emphasizes diversifying our protein sources beyond animal products to include plant-based and cultivated alternatives. The solutions exist, yet progress is hindered by polarization and political interests. A recent example is Italy’s ban on cultivated meat, driven by misinformation and special interest groups. This ban stifles innovation and the potential for more sustainable food options. Despite these obstacles, there are promising developments. Plant-based fish and other innovative protein sources present viable solutions for today and tomorrow. Our goal must be to extend this conversation beyond niche circles and engage the broader public. True collaboration and a profound shift in thinking are imperative if we genuinely want to create a positive impact for the future. In conclusion, the path to a sustainable food system is fraught with challenges but also ripe with opportunities. By embracing innovation and fostering collaboration, we can rebuild our food system into one that nourishes both people and the planet. A big thanks to my fellow travelers Francesca Gallelli Benedetta Caputi Roberta Gigante Stefano Lattanzi and a big thanks to Felippe Fontanelli and the Talent Garden team ;)

🌊 It's Finally Here — blueTIDES Week at Blue Robotics! 🌊 Tomorrow marks the beginning of something incredible. We've been preparing for months, fine-tuning every detail, and I'm absolutely thrilled to announce that it's officially blueTIDES Week! Why blueTIDES? Most of us in the ocean and coastal space know that trade shows and conferences are great, but the real magic often happens informally. It's in those unplanned moments, where we're laughing over coffee or beers, or sharing stories at a casual gathering, that the best ideas often spring to life. That’s why we created blueTIDES. At blueTIDES, we’re recreating those magical moments where ideas flow effortlessly and collaborations are born. Whether you're an ocean or coastal scientist, a tech enthusiast, or just curious about marine innovation, there's something at blueTIDES for you. Keep an eye out for live updates, behind-the-scenes sneak peeks, and key takeaways from the event by following Blue Robotics. So, who's ready to dive in? 🌊

Innovating in Inclusive Circularity - proud moments from a ground-up successful organization I follow closely Hasiru Dala Innovations - kudos to the team for many successes and case studies for the world to adapt. Here’s to further expansion of inclusive collaboration and social impact in 2024. #inclusive #circulareconomy #socialimpact
