This is where I was last Wednesday 😉 Most of what was said about AI was not new for those who have been playing with AI for a while now. It's not a new technology. But for those who have not been playing around with GenAI in the past year, it was mindblowing. Especially Prof. Ethan Mollick's talk showed in real time the power of #GenAI, accesable to everyone in the world. We're in unprecedented times: we're figuring out the use of GenAI all at the same time while innovation is going exponentially fast. You cannot just sit this out "and wait a few years".  The free version of ChatGPT/Claude/Gemini/Mistral, etc., has only been in the public domain for a year and has disrupted and evaporated whole industries. If Darwin's "adapt or die" ever applied to businesses... it's now. Key takeaways: - It's essential that we all start experimenting to figure out how #AI might work for us - just do it. - The US is ahead of us in innovation (thanks to it's access to billions in innovation, and in adoption), and we must catch up quickly. EU's classic approach of overregulation to protect the market is not the way forward. - Companies need to look urgently at #jobdesign and AI's role. Especially for interns and new hires. The classic "monkey work so you can learn" won't apply anymore. - Things are already going faaaaaaaaassssst. And they are gonna go even fasteeeeeeerrr 🏎💨 It's already tough to catch up right now. Don't make it harder for yourself by waiting. Tip 1: There's an AI for that: https://lnkd.in/eyHEd5f8 Tip 2: Reach out to our Sirris experts to figure out how to include AI/GenAI in your software or production automation.

Data is strategic: the qualitative and quantitative data we collect is key but more important is how we design the information to connect it with the strategic targets and audiences. To reveal the hidden value buried in numbers, lists and acronyms contained in lots of Excel files, and decode them to make them meaningful, we first need a strategic vision: What is the value to communicate? What is the story we have to tell? Which is the most appropriate language to use to connect with the different audiences? And behind data, there are always people. And in this concrete case, the IdeaSquare Progress Report, data shows the work and daily effort of a passionate team of brave people challenging the established and looking for strategies to create a better future. 🌟 It’s been a privilege to make their work shine! 👇 Have a look at the link below to see the last IdeaSquare Progress Report 2021-2023, powered by wonnd strategy agency.

In our recent General Assembly, we had the pleasure of hosting Francesco Saverio Nucci, Director of Sustainable Society Lab at Engineering Group, for an insightful online session dedicated to sharing experiences and results of implemented projects on #AI against #disinformation. Francesco walked us through invaluable lessons from 1️⃣ FANDANGO (2017-2020), offered a glimpse into the ongoing 2️⃣ TITAN (2022-2025), and anticipated what the future holds for 3️⃣ AI-CODE (2024-2027). 🦾 AI4Debunk, alongside Titan Thinking, #AICODE, #veraai, #AI4Trust and AI4Media, forms a cluster of EU-funded research projects focused on harnessing AI to counter disinformation. 🌟 We are thrilled to begin collaborating closely with these innovative projects, as well as the European Digital Media Observatory community, to develop joint activities, create synergies, and ultimately maximise our collective impact. #AI4Debunk #HorizonEurope University of Latvia Faculty of Business, Management and Economics, EURACTIV Bulgaria, Pilot4DEV, Internews Ukraine, National Research Council of Italy, Università degli Studi di Firenze, CNIT - Consorzio Nazionale Interuniversitario per le Telecomunicazioni, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, DOTSOFT SA, UMONS, University of Galway, Utrecht University of Applied Sciences, #InnovativePower, F6S Innovation

#Almedalen, #Visby. This melting pot of business, politics and society forming a club of mutual admiration, also has its charm and advantages. Personally I think that mingling in large tents packed with people, is more like being a chicken in a chicken-farm, than anythingelse. However in high-end round table discussions and seminars you might actually learn some stuff. Among all the themes, of which #energy and #security was very present, I have picked two areas which are close to my heart: #Tech and #Sustainability. Realism hit with full force as research and innovation was on top of the agenda. Many discussions related to solving the challenges for Sweden to regain the global top position at forefront of technology. We have for several years lived on old references and beliefs that we are on top of things, as we were back around the millennium shift. Now we can see that we are ok in a European perspective but not globally. My conclusion is that there are several challenges to solve, and the masterminds need to come together from different disciplines and take action. Not just talk about it. (interesting seminars with #Ericsson #ErikEkudden #chalmers, #Spotify, #VolvoGroup etc) Besides #AI dominating the scene in Almedalen, a lot of the discussions related to sustainability and regulations, including #CSRD. My conclusion here is that regulations is a tool for structure, transparency, and of course comparability, but following rules and regulations is not a marketing argument. You need to comply - and so will everybody else. On the other hand, transparency does not automatically mean that you pack your reporting with all data points and KPIs you can find. The material ones related to your business and strategy will do just fine. In fact too many KPIs can even make the report less transparent. (interesting seminars with #Tele2, #PWC, #HM, etc) . A final remark in terms of sustainability- a lot was still on #climate related issues- I wonder if #biodiversity will move forward and dominate next year?
