Highlghts of "Own Your Own Intelligence" Webinar with MIT and WilmerHale
6 Key Aspects of the Problem and 11 Things to Do
MIT Professor Sandy Pentland, WilmerHale Partner Alex Soiffer, and GAI Insights co-founder John Sviokla all argue during a webinar this week that countries, companies, and individuals are not spending enough time understanding the importance of “Own Your Own Intelligence”.
Own Your Own Intelligence is a broad concept framing the issues involved when nations, organizations, and individuals claim agency over data, process knowledge, and cognitive capabilities when dealing with a handful of high-tech firms that are more powerful than 95% of all countries. We hope that framing these issues sparks a global conversation and a set of mitigating actions.
