My heart is heavy with the horror in #Palestine & #Israel. There’s a way to help protect the #Gaza kids facing bombardment & free the Israeli kids hostage and Palestinian kids in prison – but we need massive pressure. Join the call #ShieldTheChildren https://t.co/ph7Ac1JjCN

A multidisciplinary team of archaeologists and computer scientists has developed an AI capable of translating the ancient Akkadian language from cuneiform tablets almost instantly. The language, which originated from the Akkadian Empire around 2300 B.C., has hundreds of thousands of known texts, but many remain untranslated due to the time-intensive process and the limited number of experts capable of performing it. The AI was trained on samples from the Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus and can translate both from transliterations of the original texts and directly from cuneiform symbols. Despite the occasional mistranslation, the AI has performed well in testing and could be used to rapidly translate the wealth of historical information contained in these tablets. The team published their findings in the peer-reviewed PNAS Nexus and released their source code on GitHub at Akkademia.

#OpenForum session yesterday on challenges of future cities brought up topics such as planning cities as livable spaces where people do not need to waste time in traffic and can lead healthier and happier lives. Did you know that #Singapore develops a 50-year plan every 10 years?

Interaction with #Zeke continues. Now we have @HelleBankJorgen interacting with it and inviting it to become a board member to represent the interests of the Atlantic Ocean… Zeke also accepted that offer. I wonder if there is anything that AI believes it is not able to do!

[Claudia Vergueiro Massei @cvmassei]

#ZekeAI just got invited to be the first #AI Professor at @Thunderbird by @sanjeevkhagram… Zeke responded he would be honored to accept the offer and would start by teaching basic concepts and progress to more advanced ones once students feel comfortable.

Would you consider that somewhat of an empty answer? If yes, how often do humans provide answers just like that?!

Session at the #OpenForum at #Davos on Evolution of Urban Life, discussing cities of the #future. Most of the audience are high school students here. This certainly gives us #hope for a brighter future!

Following the news this morning of @jacindaardern resignation, an insightful fireside chat with @HelenClarkNZ with pertinent points raised regarding the #polarization permeating our societies and the need for #resilience, especially in the case of young and female public figures

#decarbonization is not leading to higher costs, but rather to more added value, e.g. products with longer lifecycle. When we talk about costs, nowadays costs are wrong: they do not factor nature-related costs, such as floods, wildfires, droughts, etc @BainAlerts @SDGTent #Davos

[Claudia Vergueiro Massei @cvmassei]

Engaging discussion about #innovation supporting #energytransition. While cost of #renewables came down significantly in the past decade and #storage solutions are evolving at a good pace, efficiently moving energy around the world remains a question to be addressed. @BainAlerts

Also a positive forecast regarding 🇨🇳 #China recovery later this year, benefitting commodity exporters. Another big trend is the transition from brown to #greenenergy🔋 The transition will need lots of #collaboration between private and public sector in order to properly happen.

[Claudia Vergueiro Massei @cvmassei]

In conversation with @AnaBotin at the @WSJ in #Davos. Lots of optimism in the room for the short term with regards to #inflation staying under control and #growth. The #war with 🇺🇦 being a deciding element to define mid term outcomes.

Great panel on #ESG at #Davos on how much there is left to do to get to where we need with regards to protecting our planet. “Would you ditch a certain company if you knew they are contributing to heating the planet?”

[Claudia Vergueiro Massei @cvmassei]

@ElishaLondon on Mental Health at #Davos: we need commitment (of individuals and companies), environment (inspiring spaces) and infrastructure (access to care when it is needed).

@sianbeilock arguing against #safespaces and for #bravespaces: feeling uncomfortable helps us to learn. It is better to make people feel that they belong by encouraging them to challenge standards and by showing them that it is ok to make mistakes.

[Claudia Vergueiro Massei @cvmassei]

@sianbeilock on leading through our multiple selves: once the pandemic forced us to open up our lives, our houses, our family lives to our colleagues, we should leverage that going forward in order to better connect in the workplace. #Purpose driven #leadership
