Everyone's buzzing about Shari Redstone and #Paramount's next chapter. Flashback to DLD NYC a decade ago, when she advocated the shift from single to multi-channel broadcasting. Time sure flies, doesn't it? #MediaEvolution

When @GoogleDeepMind’s @demishassabis explored the ”frontiers of #knowledge” at DLD17, nobody had heard of #AlphaGo, #AlphaFold and #GenAI yet.

Now, Demis has been knighted for his pioneering work in #AI. Congratulations, Sir Demis! 👏

We encourage you to watch Daniel Kahneman’s DLD All Stars talk about his book “Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgement”, which will give you a good idea of why he was so widely revered.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of #NobelPrize-winning economist Daniel Kahneman.

He was not just an outstanding scientist but a dear friend and, most importantly, a Mensch.

Our thoughts are with his partner Barbara Tversky and his family.

[DLD Conference @DLDConference]

It's a wrap!

"We have a technically and morally inadequate AI today", @GaryMarcus states at #DLD24.
GenAI has a "thinking out of the box" problem, he's sure – and especially a plagiarism problem.
E.g. countless existing images created by other people are actually used to generate an AI image.

"I'm disappointed that we don't take decision making seriously", Cassie Kozyrkov @decisionleader says in conversation w/ @inafried.

Decision-making becomes more important in times of AI. "We forget that computers don't make the decision. There is a human behind that all." #DLD24

[Sasha Stiles | AI alter ego Technelegy ✍️🤖 @sashastiles]

very intriguing talk by @EvolvingJuan about how technology changes our morality. his points about evolving views on sex, pregnancy, child-rearing make me think of my poem “daughter of e.v.e. [ex-vivo uterine environment],” which considers technologies like artificial wombs and gene editing in precisely this context. here are the two quotes that open this poem (published 2021 in #technelegy). @DLDConference

"What is ok today may be wrong tomorrow – and what is wrong today may be okay tomorrow", @EvolvingJuan from @ Excel Venture Management says as he challenges our morals.

"Be very careful with the sentence: 'I'm right and I have the answer." #DLD24

How can AI power new health solutions? Will the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

"You always have to ask: What type of algorithm is it, how is it trained and what's the database?", Dagmar Schuller @ audEEERING says. #DLD24

"The music industry get's democratized", songwriter @niclasmolinder says.

In the past, you needed big studios and a lot of money to write a hit - today, all you need is a laptop.

And with AI the next step starts: AI generators can generate lyrics music, and voice. #DLD24

[DLD Conference @DLDConference]

The personality traits of innovators?

Openness, conscientiousness, agreeableness, IQ and neuroticism, Stella Clarke @BMWGroup says. Talking w/ Alex Schill @Serviceplan she describes her way to becoming a BMW engineer, where she is working on an car that can change color. #DLD24

"Technology should either be beautiful or invisible."
