With world leaders gathering in Seoul for the second AI Safety Summit and the launch of supercharged new models Astra and GPT-4o by Google and OpenAI, the timing for AI couldn’t be better.
This year’s EmTech will focus on harnessing the power of generative AI while mitigating its risks, and exploring how the technology will impact the workforce, competitiveness, and democracy. Attendees will also get a sneak peek into the AI labs of major companies like Google, OpenAI, Adobe, and AWS.
Key speakers at this year’s event include Nick Clegg from Meta, discussing misinformation and its impact on democracy, especially with over 40 national elections happening in 2024. MIT Technology Review’s Amy Nordrum will delve into the implications of generative AI on democracy with Clegg.
Exciting sessions to look forward to include a talk by Jay Yagnik from Google on the history and future of AI, and a presentation by Srinivas Narayanan from OpenAI on the company’s recent developments. Another session will explore video-generation AI and its potential as world simulators by Connor Holmes.
