uni revolution in human and artificial intel - to youth as fitst sdgs generation

 liz thank you this is great

have you seen itu 2020 summary ai report- i only just found it this morning

i have added a few Q&a to your mail- no need to answer unless you see something we can improve access to; i think my reports next version may be a blog as well as slides - probably in 2 weeks

Hi Chris,

I have taken a look at the ppt. Here are some of my thoughts:

1. Healthcare is a huge area where AI can make a lot of impact and thus it deserves its own category. From infectious diseases to predictive analytics, diagnostics and preventative medicine to support home-based monitoring and home-based care. China just came up with virtual nursing homes using people's own homes as the primary base of care. There is also femtech such as fertility, nutrition, genomics, early cancer detection, etc. You can see that all the major tech Giants are wanting their foot into the door of Healthcare. 

absolutely health-femtech ai is what fazle abed hoped brac uni would connect to the 30 colleges of open society network- each could have gone deep on an ai compass of practice as well as have partnered the itu as university of ai -maybe vincent can update whether this is still on course

2. Mobility and my favorite being inclusive mobility to power smart cities where they rely a lot on traffic data is where AI plays a huge part in making these systems more connected, smarter and more efficient. Not just regular transportation but rather a holistic form of integrated mobility like what you see in Japan across the ecosystem. I personally feel Healthcare and Mobility will converge and true enough that is already beginning to happen in China, Japan and South Korea. 

absolutely- which smart cities in these 3 countries do you either have friends in or want to track-  there are many so called associations of cities but one of the saddest consequences of trump - chinese cities seem to have been decoupled from such coalitions at least in english language reporting- if biden gets in there are at least 100 gurus in dc i want displaced - i know whos done this in both parties- we had a similar situation in 2009 when obama came to town but did not throw out the subprimers

3. Emotional AI is hardly talked about here in Europe while it is already very advanced in Japan and the rest of the Asian powers houses are trying to learn from the Japanese experiences.

i agree - two leads i have but dont know how to follow up; have friends in beijng and tokyo who want to reunite musicians and artists and at the same time i hope they can bridge emotional ai- this was part of what jack ma was planning to do at the olympics he sponsored but which covid has put many billions of dollars out of sync- my japanese friends do not yet understand how to negotiate with the bankrupt olympics- going forward it should be two thirds asian led in line with youth population- it should not be an investment of old men with swiss bank accounts nor should any other celebrity platforms- this is partly why superstarsai is my polite name for media revolution youth need

4. My top 4 favorite AI connectors are:

Andrew Yang, professor in Stanford University leading a lot of the AI and ML courses on campus and also on Coursera. He has a really good way of explaining concepts and a lot of people are following him on Twitter.

i have tried to follow yang for a long time- i wish he hadnt sold out on mooc as cofounder of coursera- i probably think of him in 2 opposite ways; negatively i think kai fu lee has done much more practical job in having been in ai search in both the valley and beijing; positively i am confident there are many ai subalumni networks of yang but i dont understand the tech well enough to catalogue what each leads

Fei-Fei li, Inaugural Sequoia Professor, Stanford University and Co-Director of Stanford’s Human-Centered AI Institute. She has authored and co-authored over thirty papers in next generation AI (
Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision and Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience)

i saw her talk once - live interview santa clara with jerry yang taiwan-amercan founder of yahoo and fixer of jack ma funding out of japan and with goldman sachs- if i understand correct fei-fei image net invented whole new approach to ai pivotal to how any kind of camera's data becomes an ai databank; maybe i am wrong but i got the feeling jerry fearlessly debates what could be done with ai while fe-fei is trying to keep students safe to connect- liz i havent asked where your family comes from and whether this means someone like jerry yangs team would chat with you- by the way have you ever chatted with bedy yang- a brazilian chinese who has done more for early start hubs in 5 corners of the world than anyone- i have been tracking hubs since 2004 birth of impact hub in london- sadly this network became all political not where tech wizards linkin across cities

Dr. Bertalan Mesko from Hungary, he is a digital health expert and also cowrote a book on AI in Healthcare. 

Check out his website: https://medicalfuturist.com/

this could be very exciting - desperate to find whos who in budapest, vienna and indeed and central/east europe cities- only way to get deep ai instead of brussels ai- inew to me; will try and study- it would be great if euro-periphery nations could maximise their startup impact at https://www.ai4eu.eu/

Shalini Ghosh, Principal Scientist and Leader of Machine Learning Research, Samsung AI.

She led research areas such as situated AI and multi-modal learning also the Visual Display Intelligence unit of Samsung Research America. 

wow this sounds great too- truly feel korea has far more sdg changing ai - do you know any of people at esri - the national institute connecting with itu; fazle abed assumed korea and singapore unis would be of deep help to poverty and womensai but i am far behind in searching these places  - also do you have a view on who to click to first on ai in india- i am interested in how tata 400k it people have made ny roosevelt island second home with cornell but cant find who is india's aiforgood

Cheers,

Liz
