AI is going to be a game changer for product management!  In this webinar, our guest contributor--Aditi Joshi of Google--will cover fundamental concepts in AI product management and discuss how to build groundbreaking products that solve real-world problems, powered by cutting-edge technology. Aditi will also discuss frameworks in order to excel as an AI product manager for non-technical professionals. Participate in this webinar to learn about the rapidly evolving landscape of AI product management, to discover new trends and applications in this field, and gain fundamental knowledge and skillsets to be able to integrate AI into product strategy and development process as an AI product manager.

This is the 3rd webinar in our series on scaling responsible AI in healthcare, produced in collaboration with the Responsible AI Institute. We have an exciting panel joining us to discuss cutting edge applications in Digital Health and the ways in which AI can be responsibly applied to those use cases, followed by a live audience […]

Get ready to explore the intersection of technology and sustainability at AI EarthHack! Join a community of students from across the world to create a project focused on GenAI, sustainability, and innovation, engage in workshops, and connect with leading companies. The action kicks off with a 36-hour virtual round from January 5-7th and continues in person on January 18th at Microsoft Toronto, where finalists will be invited to present to a panel of industry leaders. We’re challenging you to unlock GenAI’s true creative potential to create an AI system that is capable of identifying valuable and powerful ideas to create a sustainable future.

Are you curious about the implications of automation and robotization on careers in various industries? Join this session to learn about a novel research that examined approximately 16 million individual resumes across the United States to understand the implications of automation and robotization on careers in manufacturing, retail, and service industries. In this talk, our guest contributor, Pinar Yildirim—an associate professor of Marketing at The Wharton School—will discuss the findings of her research on the multipronged impact of AI and Machine Learning technologies on the US labor market, in the contexts of similarly disruptive technologies in the past, and the recent advent of Generative AI technologies that are transforming the US labor market as we speak. Based on the takeaways of her novel research, Professor Yildirim will share additional insights on why the recent proliferation of Generative AI technologies can be different from past innovations, how businesses are uniquely impacted, and what can plausibly be inferred about the implications of Generative AI technologies to labor markets outside of the US context.

Join experts in the field AI implementation, responsible AI, and healthcare as we deep dive into the implementation and scale-up of GenAI in BioPharma. Together, we will explore case studies, execution and measurement of outcomes, as well as share a roadmap for responsible AI implementation that can be used in your own organization.

Join experts in the field of AI implementation, responsible AI, and healthcare as we explore how executives are transforming healthcare organizations through GenAI. Together we will discuss key insights on operationalizing GenAI while minimizing risks, as well as the different guardrails to consider across various healthcare sectors.

n this paper, using a novel data set of resumes from approximately 16 million individuals from the United States, we study the career implications of automation and robotization. We calculate the lifetime career value of various occupations, combining (1) the likelihood of future transitions to other occupations, and (2) earning potential of these occupations. We document a downward trend in the growth of career values in the U.S. between 2000 and 2016. We find that while wage growth is slower, the decline in the average career value growth is mainly due to reduced upward occupational mobility. Automation and robotization are factors contributing to the decline of average local labor market career values. In commuting zones that have been more exposed to automation, the average career value has declined further between 2000 and 2016.

In this session, our guest contributor Chad will take us on a guided exploration of the world of data contracts, which are API-based agreements between data producers and consumers that capture the schema, semantics, distribution, and enforcement policies of the data. This talk will discuss how data contracts provide a single surface for collaboration on data in a shared language, allow the data model to evolve in an agile, iterative way, and apply data governance incrementally where it’s needed for AI and ML systems. This talk will also address how organizations can leverage data contracts to ensure Artificial Intelligence systems are trained on trustworthy and well-governed datasets.

This paper evaluates caps on the commissions that food delivery platforms charge to restaurants. Commission caps may lead restaurants to join platforms and to post lower prices on platforms, thereby benefitting consumers. But caps may also lead platforms to raise their consumer fees, thereby reducing ordering on platforms and consequently platforms’ value to restaurants. The net welfare effects of caps are thus uncertain. To quantify these effects, I estimate a model of pricing and platform adoption in a multi-sided market using data on consumer restaurant orders, restaurants’ platform adoption, and platform fees. Counterfactual simulations imply that commission caps bolster restaurant profits at the expense of consumers and platforms.

Our upcoming Catalyst in October 2023 aims to explore the challenges and opportunities surrounding safeguarding innovation in today's rapidly evolving landscape. The focus is on establishing trust and ensuring safety in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-related services, while also addressing open versus closed ecosystems, intellectual property concerns, and the implementation of responsible AI practices. The event will provide a platform for industry leaders, experts, and innovators to share insights, best practices, and emerging trends.
