The Seven Continents-View on AI

In Brief

The Seven Continents-View on AI: There is clearly no one-size-fits-all when it comes to anything in life. That applies to the reasons for the development, adoption, and integration of cognitive technologies as well – be that across teams, organisations, industries, countries and even continents. With the help of experts, we will feel the “AI pulse” of each continent from the North until the South Pole and see how those feed into the global AI heartbeat.   

Main Focus Points

  • AI from the Perspective of North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia
  • AI in the private and public sectors
  • Investments in AI
  • The AI startup ecosystem on each continent
  • Reasons for innovation and AI adaption – The AI pulse of each continent
  • Challenges and opportunities
  • Global collaboration for business and society
