While traveling internationally this month , the “Diplomat” has come up in several conversations, given the state of our politics around the world. The Diplomat https://g.co/kgs/GupQPbd Earlier this year, I was honored to be invited to join the US State Department’s Delegation POD for Deep Tech & AI with the UK. This Partnership Opportunity Delegation (POD) to London, United Kingdom, explores the theme of “Deep Tech Inclusion” to create business-government and business-business partnerships. It was an honor to represent the United States in this delegation, with my colleagues from the most innovative companies and leaders of Deep Tech Quantum, AI, and Synthetic Biology startup and investment from the US, while collaborating with our counterparts in the UK (techUK Imperial College London, University of Oxford EY London and more). I was also honored to speak on a panel at the JCM (Joint Committee Meeting between the US and UK on Science and Technology) to discuss how we best support R&D at a higher scale and scaling up of emerging tech businesses & funding. There’s been much talk lately where people feel frustrated and are extremely judgmental of our incredible public servants in government. I come from the startup and tech world where I started in Silicon Valley and my main home base is in Seattle (2 of the top 5 global tech hubs), where we move at the speed of light, so I get why we are frustrated by the perceived lack of rapid progress. Yet I wonder if we really understand the history and potential for public and private cooperation? I’ve been blessed to work across six continents in business and tech, participated in UN and Congressional events, and I have to say, hands down, this was the best experience I’ve seen to empower public and private collaboration - and it all comes down to the leadership driving this new initiative. Actually spending time with leaders like Special Representative Dorothy McAuliffe for Global Partnerships, meeting with Ambassador Jane Hartley (our real life US ambassador & “diplomat” to the UK) at Winfield House in London, Amal Moussaoui as economics officer in Science & Technology Cooperation office, Dr. Patricia Gruber Science and Tech Advisor to Secretary of State, Celia Merzbacher (ED Quantum Economic Development), (Hal Constantine Regional Tech Officer US Embassy London, Jason Haserodt, Spencer Bailey ) who helped curate phenomenal meetings, bridge business, startup, and investment, where we continue to see rapid movement and progress months later, gives me hope for a new day and potential for public and private collaboration for the future of startup, entrepreneurship, innovation, and investment. You are the epitome of the people we want representing the US around the world - thank you for all you do! John Levy Janet Adams Yiran Chen Bryan Choo Alfonso N. Cornish II, JD Thomas W.

As the speed of AI innovation already seems to outstrip the abilities of politicians and regulatory bodies to understand and legislate these emerging technologies, we invite you to join our AGI-24 pre-event virtual roundtable on collaborative governance for AI and AGI to explore how different approaches to public and institutional participation might shape the future of these technologies. Join David Wood, Chair of the London Futurists, Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET and Chairman of the AGI Society, Dr. Anneloes Smitsman, Co-Founder and CEO of EARTHwise, Dr. Trent McConaghy, Founder of Ocean Protocol, Dr Elizabeth Shaw, Founder of 1000 Black Voices, Dr. Gabriel Axel Montes, Founder of Neural Axis, and Dr. Scott David, Executive Director - Information Risk and Synthetic Intelligence Research Initiative at the University of Washington, to discuss: - What role should governments play in the regulation of AI, and how can they effectively collaborate with industry and academia, and beyond? - How do we bridge global divides in AI regulation, governance, and beyond? - What role should public input play in the decision-making process for AI policies, and how can this input be effectively integrated into governance structures? - How can we measure the effectiveness of inclusive governance approaches in AI, and what metrics should be used to assess their impact? - What role should interdisciplinary collaboration play in developing effective AI governance models, and how can we foster such collaboration? 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 Following the live-streamed panel, we invite you to join our Zoom working groups, where you'll have the opportunity to participate in one of the following four breakout rooms: - Room 01: Loyalty to Love (Devotion Factor) and Beyond the “Control Button” Approach - Room 02: GEI and Collaborative Global Governance of AI/AGI - Room 03: Colaboración IA-humanos: La naturaleza de la AGI en la política, la sostenibilidad social y el bien común (Spanish) - Room 04: Indigenous Protocol and AI - Room 05: Anthropomorphism vs. Personalization in AI Set your reminder now on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eFVKsEbJ Register to participate in the Community Roundtables on Zoom: https://lnkd.in/eUDcVUNf --- #AGI24 #AGIconference #AI #AGI #BeneficialAGI #BGI #AGIsociety #SingularityNET #TrueAGI #SeattleEvents #Springer #Technology #UW #AIresearch #Ethics #AIethics #VancouverStartupWeek #BICA #Seattle
