AI, including generative AI has been a huge focus for the One Young World Summit 2024 in Montréal. (One Young World is the global young leaders platform co-founded by Kate Robertson and our founder and CEO David Jones, which has positively impacted more than 42 million people since 2009.) There have been many outstanding AI sessions with creators, practitioners, engineers and policy makers, including the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau. As One Young World's Official Gen AI Partner 2024, The Brandtech Group has been honored to host, participate and learn from these global leaders. But the heart of any One Young World Summit is the delegate speakers. Hundreds of brilliant young leaders apply to speak on each of the main themes but only five or six get to deliver their speeches to the event on each subject. These remarkable young people were the speakers in the AI Plenary Session - Olasupo Abideen, Founder OPAB Gas and FactCheckAfrica (Nigeria), Jose Zea, CEO, Arkangel AI (Venezuela), Adrianna Pinzarui, Founder, SKIIP (USA), Arhum I., Co-Founder and CTO, ConnectHear (Pakistan), and Ethan Waisberg, Doctor/Researcher, University of Cambridge (Canada). Congratulations to all these extraordinary people, who are all working for a better world using AI and if the future of this tech is in their hands, we can look forward to a safer, better future, powered by AI. #OYW24
