    ICYMI: Godfather of AI has a love/hate relationship with tech he helped create

    Geoffrey Hinton aka the Godfather of AI pioneered the neural networks that power today’s artificial intelligence revolution. But where does AI go from here? Geoffrey digs into the big questions like whether robots will take our jobs and if AI could someday outsmart humans. While those working in roles involving repetitive tasks are in danger of being replaced by automation, Geoffrey recommends young people train for hands-on jobs that require dexterity and skill such as custom carpentry or plumbing. Geoffrey Hinton, the Godfather of AI, was in conversation with Nick Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic on Centre Stage at Collision 2023.

    Is artificial meat the new norm?

    Could artificial meat be the new normal? In this episode of the Next Stage, we learn from three entrepreneurs working to create meat alternatives using plants, fungi, and cell cultivation.  They discuss the products and technologies that enable them to replicate the taste, texture and nutrition of conventional meat, as well as the challenges involved in scaling up production. The founders share their visions for making alt meat ubiquitous, affordable, and enthusiastically adopted by meat-eaters – all in order to significantly reduce the climate and health impacts of our meat consumption. With several companies poised to launch artificial meat products commercially in the next year, we may soon witness these meatless options become the default choice for consumers. SciFi Foods co-founder and CEO Joshua March, Prime Roots co-founder and CEO Kimberlie Le, and New School Foods founder and CEO Chris Bryson were in conversation with Toby Heaps, co-founder and CEO of Corporate Knights, on planet:tech at Collision 2023

    The business benefits of hiring people with criminal records

    Is the tech industry ignoring an untapped resource by excluding people with criminal records? People with criminal records are often shut out of the labour market. But some companies have recognised that so-called 'second chance' and 'fair chance' hiring can help them find more workers.  In this episode of the Next Stage podcast, Checkr co-founder and CEO Daniel Yanisse joins Sojourner Elleby, editorial producer at Bloomberg Quicktake, to find out just how much people with criminal records have to offer businesses and society. Checkr practises what it preaches. According to Daniel, “[Checkr] started hiring people directly from prison about five or six years ago. And when we gave them some opportunities, they really succeeded, flourished and became our best employees.”  Daniel Yanisse, co-founder and CEO at Checkr, was in conversation with Sojourner Elleby, editorial producer at Bloomberg Quicktake, on Remote at Collision 2023.

    Fighting bad bots with good bots

    The term ‘bot’ often evokes a sense of annoyance, scepticism, or even dread. Whether it’s trending hashtags manipulated by an army of automated accounts, or your X (fka Twitter) feed being inundated with political propaganda, bots have gained a reputation as digital pests.  But what if they could be used for good in cybersecurity? In this episode of the Next Stage, Signifyd co-founder and CEO Rajesh Ramanand and Avery Pennarun, co-founder and CEO of Tailscale, talk about employing bots as a proxy for the user and doing automated tasks on their behalf, including fighting scam bots. When it comes to detecting and deterring increasingly convincing AI-generated phishing attacks, Rajesh says, “it's not a human versus AI anymore … it's now AI versus AI”. Rajesh Ramanand, co-founder and CEO of Signifyd, and Avery Pennarun, co-founder and CEO of Tailscale, were in conversation with Sam Sabin, cybersecurity reporter for Axios, on FullSTK at Collision 2023.
