ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AS A FORCE FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY: A LOOK FORWARD
The five-day summit created panels about AI Ethics & Responsibility, Synthesized Data, Hyper-Automation, Governance Impact on AI, and Digital Sovereignty. The Digital Guardians is an invite-only gathering of celebrated and accomplished experts in AI, who are ready to participate in critical discussions about AI’s implications, existential risk, the role of ethics and responsibility, and most importantly, its potential for good.

Overall, the disciplined debates and conversations addressed how technological innovation can change the course for humanity within the next half decade and the foreseeable future.
Ahura AI’s team asked each attendee to agree to adopt guiding principles for AI endeavors and to commit to challenging like-minded colleagues to do the same.
What’s more, in this safe paradise away from everything else, we pushed the edge of what is currently spoken about in the AI field. In Richard Branson’s own words,
“Some of the most world-changing conversations nowadays happen while sitting in the sand.”
In the words of Bryan Talebi, Ahura AI’s Co-Founder and CEO,
“We are bold in our quest to develop AI to foster learning culture and community with lasting impact. Our vision is to create a new sector for lasting knowledge, to better understand the way we learn, and to provide a powerful AI platform for all humanity to thrive.”
