““The way that we make change is going to change.””
Devi Thomas:
““We refer to AI as the co-pilot to human intelligence. That’s the best way to think about this.””
Devi Thomas:
“”Progress [on AI for social impact] is not going to be linear. We’re going to test and try and fail, and then test and try and fail again… and doing so with a collaborative approach.””
Brigid Evans:
“”It’s not necessarily that AI is stealing jobs, it’s that #AI is changing jobs. It’s changing the skills that we’re going to have to learn [and] teach people in order for them to maintain family sustaining jobs.””
Brigid Evans:
““It’s going to be important to be transparent about where this data is coming from. What are the inputs? Where’s the data coming from? How do we ensure that it’s high quality?””
Michael Fasosin:
“”[AI is] your co pilot, augmenting experience, [providing] augmented data to help you make informed decisions.””
James Hodson:
“”The types of technology and the scalability of the data that we’re seeing now is allowing organisations that are much smaller than before, to push products globally.””
James Hodson:
“”My hope is actually that these technologies are going to bring us a phase shift in how we’re able to experiment for community, for societies, and also allow us to bring an equalising force.””
Michael Fasosin:
“”Right now there’s so much hype about ChatGPT. The thing we’ve got to do as businesses is to have your own means of making sure the data you’re using is trusted and has provenance.””
Brigid Evans:
“”I would say don’t forget the humanity in #AI. There is the opportunity to fail, which is fine, and there’s the opportunity to grow. But there also still needs to be humanity in what we’re doing.””
Barbara Johnson:
“”Get yourself and your business familiar with #AI. … Showcase to senior people, your business, that it’s coming and then [consider] how you could then build maybe your own rules & regulations internally about how you want to deploy it.””
James Hodson:
“”I would caution against thinking that we should massively democratise the creation of [#AI] systems to anybody too quickly … The unintended, indirect consequences are that we will create systems that aren’t fit for purpose.””
Jane Nelson:
“”Probably more than any other areas of #socialimpact … you have to be engaging individually with key governments, be working in industry coalitions with government, & those who are advocating & engaging with government around this agenda.””
Jane Nelson:
““The first strong compelling message is – do no harm … that sort of thoughtful, intentional, assessing and understanding the risks and unintended consequences to people.””
Barbara Johnson:
“”[We can now] marry the subject matter expertise and this technology together and suddenly everyone’s able to just progress so much faster.””
