Gate One

Last week we had the great joy of bringing together all the Gate One team to connect, align and refocus on where we're heading as we enter our second decade.   It was a great opportunity to celebrate successes and new promotions, outline our strategic ambitions for the years ahead, work collaboratively on solving current challenges, connect with our HAVAS colleagues on what great experiences really are and take a look at how we all approach mental fitness.   A big thanks to our amazing organising team and everyone who made it such a great event.   #meaningfulchange

Is AI beneficial to society? Earlier this week in partnership with Diverse AI, Ankit Bharadwaj posed this question to our panel of speakers, Rosie Kitson, Umbar Shakir, Ruth I., Smera Jayadeva and Steven Kleinegesse to examine the transformative power of AI, the future of AI and its impact on society. It was an inspiring evening exploring diverse perspectives on how AI can transform wider society. Here are our key takeaways:    ⚖️Balancing innovation and ethics: AI's potential to turbocharge businesses is immense but it must be harnessed within robust ethical frameworks to ensure long-term sustainability. 👤Human-centric AI: Designing AI that prioritises tangible value and relevance is key. It’s about stripping away the buzzwords and focusing on what truly matters to the target audience. 🌍Diversity and inclusivity: There is a real need for diverse voices in AI development to address biases and ensure that AI benefits everyone, especially marginalised communities. 🔎Transparency and accountability: Regulation must play a central role in ensuring ethical practices with the need for a transparent and accountable AI development process. 📝Regulation and AI literacy: Sensible regulation and increased AI literacy across wider society will ensure AI's beneficial impact on society. Understanding and mitigating the subtle, subliminal effects of AI, such as those in recommender systems, are essential steps forward.    This discussion reinforced the importance of a holistic approach to AI with an ethical and inclusive AI design. With thanks to all our speakers and attendees for their valuable contributions and insights!
