Does Nvidia offer development map for eg Bangladesh where women empowerment with Muhammad Yunus is according to The Economist starting all over again in redesigning gov 2.0  ? Or indeed half  of all nations who most need to benchmark green economics because they have none of the minerals critical to the old industrial age- and thus have negative foreign exchngae just to be a player in carbon generated economies?. Jensen Huang has said that deep learningAIi will need a lot of energy but that this can be tapped through solar located eg in places that are not necessaily habitable but have abundant sun. Where do we link to see this emerge and why does the UN not seem to converge its AI for good with Jensen's maps of AI for SDGs? chris macrae  &lt;a href="http://www.2025report.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.2025report.com"&gt;www.2025report.com&lt;/a&gt;  ; mapping  &lt;a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mapping-intelligences-101-deepest-collabs-u4thijk-chris-br3xe/?trackingId=%2FShr793cRXOf8XGM%2FmmGFg%3D%3D" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/mapping-intelligences-101-deepest-collabs-u4thijk-chris-br3xe/?trackingId=%2FShr793cRXOf8XGM%2FmmGFg%3D%3D"&gt;100 deepest collabs of AI&lt;/a&gt; ; year 75 John Von Neumann dialogues begun The  &lt;a href="http://www.economistdiary.com/1970" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.economistdiary.com/1970"&gt;Econmomist 1951&lt;/a&gt; ;  &lt;a href="http://povertymuseums.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://povertymuseums.blogspot.com"&gt;AI20s.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Chris Macrae</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 17 Nov 2024 07:37:21 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Fundamentals of AI with John Etchemendy and Fei-Fei Li</title><link>https://live-hoover9.pantheonsite.io/research/fundamentals-ai-john-etchemendy-and-fei-fei-li#comment-6440748435</link><description>&lt;p&gt;In my 50th year as media modeller, it seems to me that: shall we our peoples invest in a public service LLM is comparable to shall we invest in a public broadcaster in mid 20th C?

A global reset has enabled us to observe how a reduction in carbon emissions has impacted our planet. Data collected during Covid has provided unparalleled intelligence that could previously only be predicted by data analysis and modeling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us for this solutions session on the importance of data in a post-Covid world. We’ll discuss how the currency of data enables business and industry to innovate, develop and be more sustainable and how this moment of reflection has provided an opportunity for scientific evidence to inform more sustainable practices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10:00 AM - The Green (Re)Awakening&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thierry Breton, Commissioner for Internal Markets, European Commission&lt;br&gt;10:30 AM - Deploying Data to Secure a Sustainable Future&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jane Ambachtsheer, Global Head of Sustainability, BNP Paribas Asset Management&lt;br&gt;Carlo Buontempo, Director, Copernicus Climate Change Service, ECMWF&lt;br&gt;Niels Strange Peulicke-Andersen, Head of ESG Accounting, Ørsted&lt;br&gt;Rebecca Moore, Director, Geospatial Initiatives, Google&lt;br&gt;Moderator: Eric Roston, Reporter, Bloomberg Green&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mon Sep 14, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT   (1 Hour)&lt;br&gt;Accelerating the Circular Economy&lt;br&gt;“Take, make, use, dispose,” is the traditional model our global economy has operated by for generations. Due to the buildup of waste and the growing challenges posed by climate change, companies and communities around the world are trying to make the transition to a circular economy model, which aims to minimize the use of resources and the production of waste. But implementing this circular model requires rethinking how we produce products and changing consumer behavior.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us for a solutions session featuring the world’s leading oceans, plastics and circular economy experts discussing what is needed to transition to a circular economy. What are the greatest challenges and obstacles, what could help facilitate a more rapid transition and what are the opportunities for the future?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;12:00 PM - Protecting our Oceans&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ted Danson, Award Winning Actor and Environmentalist &lt;br&gt;Moderated by: Antha Williams, Head of Environmental Programs, Bloomberg Philanthropies&lt;br&gt;12:25 PM - Circular Economy Revolution&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ellen Jackowski, Chief Sustainability and Social Impact Officer hp&lt;br&gt;Dune Ives, Executive Director, Lonely Whale &lt;br&gt;Janis Searles Jones, CEO, Ocean Conservancy &lt;br&gt;John Burke, CEO, Trek &lt;br&gt;Moderated by: Jess Shankleman, Reporter, Bloomberg Green&lt;br&gt;Mon Sep 14, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT   (1 Hour)&lt;br&gt;Investing in Change&lt;br&gt;Climate change poses important new risks and opportunities for business and finance leaders. Many have embraced climate action as an opportunity, providing innovative corporate and finance solutions that are creating a positive impact on both their business and the planet. How products are manufactured, packaged, marketed and distributed, and the degree to which investors put money to work in companies who embraced climate positive practices across the entire life cycle, is one of the most viable ways to move the needle in the right direction. We’ll talk to top names in business, markets, and finance about how and why they’re making the investment in climate action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2:00 PM - Leading a Purpose Driven Company&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enrique Lores, CEO, HP Inc.&lt;br&gt;Emily Chang, Anchor, Bloomberg Television&lt;br&gt;2:30 PM - Pensions Driving Change&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mark Machin, President &amp;amp; CEO, CPP Investments&lt;br&gt;Christopher J.

To maximize the climate benefits of forests, we must keep more forest landscapes intact, manage them more sustainably, and restore more of those landscapes which we have lost. Halting the loss and degradation of natural systems and promoting their restoration have the potential to contribute over one-third of the total climate change mitigation scientists say is required by 2030.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this solutions session, we’ll talk with some of the world’s leading forest conservation experts about efforts underway to protect this vital natural resource; what the biggest threats are in terms of future degradation; and what action businesses leaders, and individuals, can take to help in the fight for forest preservation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;10:00 AM - State of Nature: Our Forests Now&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carter Roberts, President and CEO, World Wildlife Fund&lt;br&gt;Moderated by: Adam Majendie, Senior Editor, Bloomberg&lt;br&gt;10:25 AM - Fighting Illegal Deforestation&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Topher White, Founder &amp;amp; CEO, Rainforest Connection&lt;br&gt;10:35 AM - Building a Forest-Positive Future&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Corey Brinkema, President, Forest Stewardship Council US&lt;br&gt;Sophie Beckham, Chief Sustainability International Paper&lt;br&gt;Moderated by: Leslie Kaufman, Reporter, Bloomberg Green&lt;br&gt;Ue Sep 15, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT   (1 Hour)&lt;br&gt;Zero Carbon Careers&lt;br&gt;Greta Thunberg may be the poster child for a global student movement vocal on climate change, but she exemplifies the passion Generation Z shows when it comes to climate and social issues. For Generations X and Y, the hot job ticket shifted from investment banking in the 1990s to wannabe dot com millionaires in the early 2000s, when every conceivable idea went to IPO.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today, the younger generation wants to marry mission and money and doesn’t see them as mutually exclusive. Social and environmental issues are a huge driver for them, and businesses have realised that to attract this new generation of employees they will have to focus on becoming more ethical and sustainable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this solutions session, we’ll examine what green jobs look like for the new generation of leaders. Will companies that lack green credentials struggle to hire top talent? What is the future of the green job market? And how can you identify the right green job for you?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;12:00 PM - Engaging the Future Green Workforce&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jigar Shah, President and Co-Founder, Generate Capital&lt;br&gt;Nico Rosberg, Sustainability Entrepreneur and Co-founder, Greentech Festival&lt;br&gt;Moderator: Carol Massar, Co-Anchor Bloomberg Businessweek, Bloomberg Television and Radio&lt;br&gt;12:25 PM - Identifying Green Jobs&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Steve Varley, Global Vice-Chair, Sustainability, EY&lt;br&gt;Diego Díaz, Head of New Ventures, Iberdrola&lt;br&gt;Lisa Jacobson, President,Business Council for Sustainable Energy&lt;br&gt;Moderator: Ethan Zindler, Head of Americas, BloombergNEF&lt;br&gt;Tue Sep 15, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT   (1 Hour)&lt;br&gt;The Business Case for Climate Action&lt;br&gt;2:00 PM - Green as Good Business&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jesper Brodin, CEO, Ingka Group&lt;br&gt;2:30 PM - Clean Energy Future&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ignacio S.

As a result, sustainability is taking precedence for communities, consumers, employees and companies more than ever before.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this solutions session, we’ll talk with some of the world’s leading sustainability experts about how Covid has impacted how they are thinking about climate change.

However, this presents an opportunity for cities to play an integral role in combating climate change. With more than half of the world’s population living in cities, urban centers are well-positioned to play a leadership role in driving global action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us for this solutions session, where we’ll examine if it’s possible to create a carbon neutral city. What are the opportunities, the challenges, and the potential path to carbon neutrality?

So huawei is loved more by the average chinese than cola-cola or whatever tech brand you think of as america's favorite. I dont think its a good idea to start taking an entrepreneurial leaders freedom away unless you are prepared to publish much more detail and go to prison yourself if you turn out to be wrong. All of this matters because tech compound consequences and sustainability ones for all our children are accelerating probably irreversibly by 2025. Slow down see guterrez un  &lt;a href="http://www.digitalcooperation.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="www.digitalcooperation.org"&gt;www.digitalcooperation.org&lt;/a&gt; and you are killing off next generations. Very sad america unless there is real substance in which case why not publish the details of the accusation. And as for canada very sad-previously you were seen as wanting china to share youth sustainability knowhow that the G7 no longer represented give the other 188 UN nations are much closer to sustainability challenges. If there is a tech god watching over us it was huawei's main competitor whose system failed in 11 countries last week because of new coding- see eg japan softbank breach explained by softbank as an ericsson fault. chris macrae &lt;a href="http://economistchina.net" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="economistchina.net"&gt;economistchina.net&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://economistamerica.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="economistamerica.com"&gt;economistamerica.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Chris Macrae</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 12 Dec 2018 14:45:38 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Zou Yun</title><link>https://america.cgtn.com/108314_134432090614611#comment-3592085223</link><description>&lt;p&gt;hello do you know if anyone is working to turn belt road into a schools curriulum - all of geography and economics, technology and sustainability goals would be so much more exciting&lt;br&gt;- ideas at &lt;a href="http://chinathanks.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://chinathanks.com"&gt;http://chinathanks.com&lt;/a&gt; or if blogs not alowed &lt;a href="http://erworld.tv/id526.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://erworld.tv/id526.html"&gt;http://erworld.tv/id526.html&lt;/a&gt; thks chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Chris Macrae</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 30 Oct 2017 14:44:19 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Citizen Engagement Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) Launch</title><link>https://live.worldbank.org/citizen-engagement-massive-online-open-course#comment-1911620573</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Could someone help me understand where do the value systems of "engage citizen" and "Preferential Option Poor" interface - both as ideas and as social movement actions that you all map.

As it happens back in 2008 several Adam Smith Scholars invited Muhammad Yunus to MOOC a 250th year update on ending poverty through job creating economics but e felt we didnt have enough funds. &lt;a href="http://grameenscotland.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://grameenscotland.com"&gt;http://grameenscotland.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Furthermore.research of booms and busts since the dotcoms shows that at whatever age millennials leave education, most will no longer find a job offered to them by a big organisation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So they will need markets designed round celebrating entrepreneurial starts up or&lt;br&gt;microfranchises designed to create jobs. This coincides with what  markets for the poor transparently value :&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At &lt;a href="http://www.unacknowledgedgiant.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.unacknowledgedgiant.com"&gt;http://www.unacknowledgedgi...&lt;/a&gt; ,  we welcome partners in publishing world record book of job creation -washington dc region 240 316 8157 And by the way back in 1973 I earned my MA in Statistics at Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge.
