My interview on #AI with Global News host Anne Gaviola came out at the end of the year. Whether you are optimistic or pessimistic about AI, change is accelerating and you need both an offensive and defensive strategy. globalnews.ca/video/embed/...

Interesting times. The Gen AI competition is going to heat up even more. I don’t see him sitting on the sidelines: Sam Altman is out at Open AI (Chat GPT). A “leadership transition” is underway according to the company. Mira Murati, the CTO, is interim CEO- she is one of the key people re Chat GPT.

Why are ice sheets a big deal? “If the melting of ice sheets crosses a tipping point to where the losses cannot be slowed down or reversed, an increased amount of sea level rise becomes unavoidable…” scied.ucar.edu/learning-zon...

G20 leaders’ declaration today on AI: “Will pursue a pro-innovation regulatory/governance approach that maximizes the benefits and takes into account the risks associated with the use of AI.” Hard to disagree, but not specific on substance or process. Para 61: www.mea.gov.in/Images/CPV/G...

Tough to beat Paris in May with amazing weather and the Louvre open late! Feeling lucky.

Could and expanded BRICS group undermine an already weakened G20? Could a BRICS reserve currency have legs? Lots of questions on the horizon.

South Africa will host the leaders summit and next steps will likely be decided in August 2023. Some countries have “applied” to join and some are “interested”... If some or all of these countries join, what does the BRICS group become?

Are the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) fair-weather friends or planning to expand with purpose? Discussions underway that 20 new countries with ~1.5B total population might join?
