"In today’s hype cycle, CEOs are scrambling to effectively communicate how #AI will change their competitive advantage to investors," says Sangeet Paul Choudary, the founder of Platformation Labs and the best-selling author of Platform Revolution and Platform Scale." If you believe, as I do, that AI is increasingly getting commoditized, the question they should be asking is what is our competitive ecosystem and how does AI impact our ability to play in that ecosystem?" Become a subscriber to The Innovator to read The Innovator's interview with Choudary, who has advised the leadership of more than 40 of the Fortune 500 firms and has been selected as a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum. https://lnkd.in/e3ftxnR6

When Saudi aramco CEO Amin Nasser said last March that #gas and #oil are here to stay, he was stating an inconvenient truth. “We should abandon the fantasy of phasing out oil and gas and instead invest in them adequately, reflecting realistic demand assumptions,” the CEO said to applause from the audience during a global energy conference in Houston. Despite the world pumping more than $9.5 trillion into the #energytransition over the past two decades, green alternatives have been unable to displace hydrocarbons at scale. Taking a broader perspective, the energy transition is, in fact, stalling, according to the 14th annual edition of the World Economic Forum’s report, Fostering Effective Energy Transition 2024,. The report, published in collaboration with Accenture uses the Energy Transition Index (ETI) to benchmark 120 countries on the performance of their current energy systems that uses 46 indicators covering energy sustainability, security and equity. While 107 out of 120 countries have progressed on the ETI over the last decade, there has been a slowdown in the transition due to economic and geopolitical volatilities in recent years that have impacted interconnected global energy systems and value chains. The problem is not the technology readiness of key enablers like #energystorage, #cleanhydrogen, #sustainableaviationfuels, #carboncapture and many other clean technologies, says Maciej Kolaczkowski, who oversees the Forum’s Advanced Energy Solutions community. The real issue is an absence of compelling business cases. https://lnkd.in/extKD_-X

"Digital technologies push the production and provision of value (products, services, experiences) ever closer to the moment of demand in time and space," says Robert C. Wolcott, the co-author, along with Kaihan Krippendorff , of the new book Proximity, How Coming Breakthroughs in Just-in-Time Transform Business, Society, and Daily Life, which was published in May by Columbia University Press. "This is what Kaihan and I call proximity in our book. We are not talking about better supply chain management. We are talking about the kind of things that dramatically impact the production or the provision of products and services: how we work, eat, create and produce, prevent and cure...All leaders must ask, what will proximity mean for my company, customers, citizens, and even society." https://lnkd.in/eN8qD-dp

Ten years ago, in 2014, Kay Firth-Butterfield was appointed as the World Economic Forum’s Chief #AIEthics Officer. Sadly, far too few organizations have followed the Forum’s lead, she says in her latest exclusive column for The Innovator. Organizations are still putting more emphasis on improving workforce efficiency, identifying new revenue streams, and mitigating cybersecurity risks, than on ensuring #AI is being used responsibly, says Firth-Butterfield. "It is a big mistake to let #ResponsibleAI (RAI) becoming an afterthought or press release talking point," she says in her column. "Many companies which surged ahead without thinking about RAI are now finding themselves in a costly re-wind process to meet regulatory requirements– a cautionary tale for all." https://lnkd.in/enXEh8cQ

"Candidly, I think #AI is the last major window of opportunity for #Europe to firmly establish leadership on a global scale," writes former Cisco Executive Chairman John Chambers in his latest exclusive column for The Innovator. "A strong, competitive strategy – beyond the good progress that’s occurring in #France – would attract the next generation of startups and VCs, and consequently, build unicorns and decacorns over time. The opportunity is there. It’s up to Europe to seize it." https://lnkd.in/eGnwEQzq

What will it take for #Europe to achieve #techsovereignty? "Europe is currently playing defense so we need to look at how can we shape the agenda for tomorrow, with a clear perspective," says André Loesekrug-Pietri⚡️, Chairman & Scientific Director of the JEDI ⚡️ Joint European Disruptive Initiative (JEDI). "U.S. President John F. Kennedy famously said in the 1960s 'We choose to go to the moon in order to test the best of our abilities.' We need to define our own vision and a rallying cry that will inspire all Europeans citizens, and not just a small elite." https://lnkd.in/ekgGrEFW

Can we have it all: safe, ethical and profitable #AI? The Innovator posed this question to Raffi Krikorian, Chief Technology Officer at the Emerson Collective, an organization focused on education, immigration reform, the environment, media and journalism, and health founded by Laurene Powell Jobs, Steve Jobs’ widow. An engineer and tech leader, Krikorian previously worked as vice-president of platform engineering at Twitter, running a global engineering team. At Uber, he helped start and run the self-driving efforts tasked with building and deploying the first-ever self-driving and passenger carrying fleet. When Donald Trump was elected president of the United States in 2016, Krikorian pivoted to put his technological know-how to use in the political realm. He joined the Democratic National Committee, as their first-ever Chief Technology Officer, to create a unique team fused with campaign and industry veterans, to secure the party after its breach by Russian state actors and to entirely revamp its tech infrastructure. During his four years at the Emerson Collective Krikorian has focused on applying technology to the social sector. He works across all teams — and with Emerson partners — to consider data, tools, and product design with the aim of empowering them to achieve their goals. https://lnkd.in/ehas2Ew7
