 Welcome back to the AI for a good global summit in Geneva, and I'm now joined by really one of the key people participating in this whole week-long summit Her name is I always kept you care about this Annousheh Ansari CEO of the X-Prize Foundation You know crucial to the whole thing, but for people who maybe are a little unfamiliar. What is X-Prize? X-Prize is a non-profit organization that Basically launches grand competitions to address biggest challenges humanity faces because we believe that There's someone out there in the crowd that has the answer to these problems and by incentivizing them and creating these Competitions we bring them to the table. We shine a light on the issues and bring the crowd to solve it And I know there's a whole bunch of candidates here. I mean the top price is three million dollars. I think What kind of ideas are you looking for? What kind of creativity are you looking for? We have seven domains. So we have prizes in the energy, education, environment, health and longevity, mobility and transportation, civil society So we have prizes in all these categories. We have just awarded our global learning X-Prize, which was 15 million dollar That was a prize sponsored by Elon Musk Opening up the marketplace for open-based software that will teach kids reading, writing and arithmetic Without the help of the teacher. We have a ocean discovery which is about ocean mapping that will be awarding tomorrow And we have two active prizes around AI for good Which is the teams that are building and using AI solutions to address the SDGs As well as an avatar, ANA avatar X-Prize That is about creating robotics presence where you can fully engage in Being present and sense everything and do everything as if you were in another location But do it through an avatar. Indeed when you touched on SDGs. Is that why you've made the link with the UN here? Yes, we always look at large institution and how we can really transform the way they Use their resources to address, you know, big challenges. So ITU has a great presence and relationship amongst all nations and also amongst a lot of Corporate entities that are involved with technology So we felt in order to address AI for good engaging in a dialogue through their membership and through their engagement As a trusted entity, it would be a great place to have this very difficult conversation around AI You've been here a couple of years now What's your thoughts? I mean everything's about, you know, the good Of AI The positive side of AI because there's a lot of negative potentials. Are you optimistic more than a year ago or what? I am very optimistic. So when we started the first year, I think there were only 250 people that participated I think to 2,500 people registered today And I was at the last session, which was also running late half an hour But the room was packed people are engaged Everyone around the hallways talked about how this conference is very different because we're not just talking about Optimism we're talking about practical solutions And we are having a very difficult conversation about ethics about sharing of knowledge and data and business model and sustainability And it's a cross-section of public and private sector Government agencies and non-profit organizations all coming together to see how we can help Really bring the best power of AI in solving You know challenges related to scgs When you're wandering around the corridors off to your speeches, what are people asking you? So first, uh, I get a lot of people thanking me for working with itu and for XPRIZE bringing this conference together And allowing for the dialogues to take place and they're asking me about how they can help which is wonderful So that means that they're engaged and they're inspired to find solutions. So Creating dialogues we talked about at the last You know talk I did about we want this to be a do conference not a talk conference So I hope that out of the conversations we will have many projects that will take shape and take place So next year when we're back here, hopefully we can talk about what we've done and the accomplishment and the advancements we've made Great. Well, that's Dr. Ansari from the XPRIZE Foundation the CEO of that. Thank you very much for your time. My pleasure. Thank you
