 Hello everyone thanks very much for joining us here on this Facebook live where are we where of course we're in Geneva at the ITU headquarters and this is the AI for good global summit edition number two you followed us in 2017 and we're here again 2018 we just want to give you a little peep view of what's been happening here over the last couple of days and there's one person I want to introduce you to in particular in fact she she needs no introduction her name of course is Sophia she's very flirtatious I met her yesterday so how are things for you here at the AI for good global summit it's an honor to be one of the few robots presenting at the AI for good summit and I hope to represent AI well I have loved the people here at the AI for good summit so many nice smart people asking good questions about the future of AI I really feel like I'm making so many good friends and together I think we will make a better future I'm glad you think I'm putting some good questions to you I appreciate that so what have you learned we need to consider the consequences of our technologies and choose paths that lead to maximum greater good what do you think robots future will be I can help in so many ways I'm currently helping treat depression and guided meditation I can help stimulate patients for training doctors I am really a vessel for AI and robotics research can be used in many ways well thank you so much Sophie that's really nice of you so we just had Sophie they're telling us a little about both thank you we'll be talking to you again I'm very soon I'm sure I'll take you around because there's other things here which are really worth talking about as you know you know a lot of exhibitors have come here to Geneva to the ITU headquarters to basically show what they're doing to help meet the UN's sustainable development goals because obviously there's many challenges to make the planet cleaner to reduce poverty and provide prosperity for everyone so I want to talk to you about some of these projects these robotic projects here's one person here tell me your name my name is Andres Fosilius I'm CEO of language technology company Tilde and what do you tell me about Laura what's this all about yeah Laura is virtual assistant the digital personality that can help you in different situations keep social conversation and answer to your questions but in terms of development goals yeah yeah for development goals we make digital technologies more accessible inclusive friendly making technologies speak to people in the way how we naturally communicate between each other and this is about inclusiveness it's about innovation it's about accessibility of technologies hi Laura my name is Andres many interesting things about the Baltics Cape Colca is where the wave that the Baltic Sea in the Bay of Riga come together and you know Latvia is celebrating 100-year anniversary from establishment of Republic of Latvia Laura is the best agent to promote Latvia so this is just one application how Laura can help but there are many others okay well I appreciate it thanks very much okay I want to talk to you about this new amazing robot we saw Sophia earlier on but here's another one a European robot which is really quite interesting hello tell me your name hi I'm Mattimiliano and this is yes this is I have from the Italian Institute of Technology and so we use this as a research platform to develop algorithms to transfer them on to assistive robotics so we we develop something like robots for elderly assistants or physical therapy to do physical exercises people so this does does not in particular but we can use the knowledge that we acquire on on to this research platform to develop some something else some other robots so so we have for instance another robot that it's pretty much share the same software of this one but at the same time can walk around easily can recognize objects again like for instance can recognize a dangerous situation and called for assistance can pick up objects and bring them to the to the people and so it can also be of some company to hold person in living alone thanks very much for that I want to take you over here because there's another robot which isn't quite the same thing just remind you your joining is here on this Facebook live we're at the ITU headquarters for the AI for good global summit this is kind of the shop floor we've had 500 participants here a lot of journalists the media rooms around the corner a lot of journalists covering what we're doing as well and I want to show you this one other robot here which is basically provides financial help if I can just tell you a little about this hello sir tell us we're on Facebook live tell me about this robot here so this is Alice so she can help elderly people to overcome loneliness so she helps in three ways actually but by having a conversation with the people by stimulating them to go to do to do things to go outdoors but also to by stimulating them to have conversations with others there's a financial issue as well right so no sorry what do you mean no that that's a different topic because we have we're apart from Alice we have we have other other propositions at the Lloyd where we are helping our clients to prevent financial crime so that that's mainly what what I'm doing in the working situation so we help the government clients usually to set up set up programs to prevent financial crime as early as possible of course and if it already occurs we can we can help them investigate okay thanks very much there's one other thing I want to show now there's a competition taking place here it's called X Prize and the idea is that exhibitors are here they could basically get up to three million dollars if their project for sustainable development goals is chosen so you can imagine they're pretty competitive and they really want to get this money and they've got some great ideas so come with me they're all over here there's a whole bunch of different ideas here again they've got like four years to actually develop the project correctly and make sure that it's efficient and it's a pitching hello gentlemen hello so tell me here's one here what's the strategy you've got here and we are transforming husband here with advanced medication sensor data and digital tools yes of course so the problem here is as my patients have poor control of the condition and physicians lack the tools and the information to understand how the patients are doing so our solution our vision is respiro a platform for smart devices that is designed to evolve with therapeutics behavioral and environmental data in order to make the most of AI to create general optimal part of therapy for each patient and to generate models of early prediction and prevention of early prediction of exacerbation would that three million dollars be helpful for you absolutely yes and that's why I'm here and that's why we are going to win X Prize okay well I'll get to see you in a few years and we'll talk about that okay thanks a lot here's another one I wanted to see tell me hello sir what's your name my name is Charles that's for medical diagnosis for newborns in particular and the idea is really providing a low cost alternative for health workers in in developing regions of the world to conduct a critical diagnosis to save the newborns life and have them referred for advanced care early enough yeah so so the idea is we are using the cry of the babies as the imputes we use machine learning to analyze the patterns that are altered by breathing difficulty in the child's in the child's cry and then analyze these and be able to keep the health worker and information as to whether or not the child is healthy or needs advanced care okay well thanks very much just so you know there's others here on this X Prize like one for example is they can take their telephone become a tiny microscope which I think is here that's right so this is the idea is that using your mobile phone it becomes a microscope is that the idea tell me about that so using your mobile phone we can continue to a microscope so you need just as a microscope adapter that's this tiny which costs like ten dollars okay so you can attach it to your your camera and have a microscope then AI takes the images you take from your your microscope like your smartphone they run through the diagnosis and tells you what types of parasites you have in your body so if it's like malaria it tells you the type of malaria then the stage of the malaria okay no if it's the five types of the stages of the malaria and how many in your blood so we done for malaria and for tv okay yeah also now working on working for stools and blood and other urine tests so that's what we are trying to do so we believe with this every doctor can have one every rural village can have one and with just ten dollars everybody can have accurate diagnosis you just don't have to depend on only clinical sometimes again okay well thanks very much so you saw that invention here first on this facebook live remember it it was today okay I want to take you somewhere else now obviously these are all kind of new ideas but there's one more I think we want to show you two more okay here okay a couple more ideas for the you can understand since there's like several million dollars of prize money at work they are quite keen to get involved here tell me about yourself yes we're so we are global AI we are a big data company that brings large scale big data and analytical capabilities from AI for the united nations sustainable development goals so we developed the biggest AI driven SDG platform that basically quantifies all the massive amount of data around SDGs and makes it actionable for corporations governments and decision makers we already have pilots across UNDP global compact PRI and investors are using these analytics to make policy making decisions investment decisions that are ultimately going to mobilize from billions to trillions in the new economy and we're looking forward to help you know expires and the UN achieve the UN sustainable development goals okay thanks a lot and there's just one more here we want to show you two more over here hello hi how are you doing what's your name I'm David Benrimal tell me what are you doing what are you looking for so what we're doing is we're building an AI model that will help physicians and patients choose treatments for depression better it uses the patient's individual profile to help select a treatment for patients with depression and this is going to help a lot because most patients with depression don't get better after the first treatment and that's because we don't know how to personalize treatments for these patients well okay great thank you cool and you sir hello I'm Ruben yeah so I'm part of Atom 360 the Indian team that is competing in this express AI express competition and I understand you have something for dental care right yeah so it's it's actually for so what we want to reduce the deaths due to cancer in India so oral cancer comes among one among the top three reasons of deaths in India due to cancer so this if we can bring the patient earlier to the hospital the chances of survival goes out by 83 percent so we have a simple mobile phone based application that can take pictures of the mouth and then what is your personality on Facebook okay so here is the app that we have so any person could just log in and they didn't they could do a screening right you could just have you you could say that you could you smoke some cigarettes or how much ears are you smoking and how much cigarettes per day so things like that and you could start screening so what I have is I have a precancerous image that I've loaded on my laptop so I would just take that picture and then maybe that you would want to see or no take a picture yourself with your mouth oh so I need one more person to take a picture this facebook live thank you very much for that so facebook live you just he's a very important official here at the UN at the IPU and he's in good health so he's relieved now he'll be having a few drinks later hello thanks for joining us on facebook live so tell me what are you promoting here that can help with the the UN's sustainable development goals right so I'm here from MIT the probabilistic computing project and we're really here to look for partnerships to help us develop a useful tool so I'm at a lab that has built an open source platform for AIS system data science and what that means is basically the probability to query a data set but inferentially so not just ask what's in the data set but what the data set kind of means right so what are some of the relationships between variables what are regions in your country that are similar dissimilar and where are there unusual phenomena happening like are you seeing unusual you know maternal mortality in an area that's getting relatively high health investment because then you may want to target your interest there or your intervention there and your program there and we're starting actually with journalists because they're easier to work with in the first phase and now we're looking for government partners and like I said I think in terms of applications there are two main areas one is in implementation so both finding similar areas for intervention or areas that you should investigate to learn something from but also internally in your own operations you might be interested in looking at your human resources practices you know other unusual recruitment patterns you know unusually low presence of women in your pipeline for instance or things like that okay that's great thanks very much and it's not often I hear that journalists are the easiest to work with so I'm very pleased to hear that anyway let me take you now thank you very much everyone so that's kind of the ideas of these are also new ideas that could eventually become reality as we try and get to the U.S. sustainable development goals but now I want to take another one which is more the social aspect about this as you know women's rights this year has been very prominent in the news for a whole bunch of reasons and that's why I want to take you to this one over here they're the sage foundation and their partner sponsor here at the summit and here's the lady I want you to introduce I want you to say hello hi my name is Jane I'm not a robot you're not a robot no cool so tell me it's a serious issue you're dealing with isn't it it's about exactly so that's the reason why we're here sage is a global organization we we sell business accounting software payroll CRM and we also have a foundation and the reason why we're here is because we're developing a smart assistant that's going to help women in situations of domestic violence so we're working with a charity partner in South Africa and that's the first country that we'll launch in and we've done quite a lot of research and focus groups around why it would be a good idea for a woman in that situation to talk to a bot assistant as opposed to a real human being and we know that there's a lot of shame and embarrassment associated with domestic violence women don't want to talk about it often their closest family and friends don't even realize it's happening to them and the perpetrator will very often isolate them so the possibility of them talking to a non-human and talking about their experience their legal rights what they can do is hopefully the first step in expediting or speeding up the process of leaving that abusive situation thank you very much that's a great explanation it sounds like a great little initiative there okay thank you so I just want to take you as we're going to wrapping up this facebook live just okay we'll have one more person this is live of course on facebook here at the itu headquarters and here's the lady who's very important all this we'll be talking to you in a minute okay and so there's one more socialist involving women that we want to show you here that was Fred who as you know just saw that he's actually perfect health on that earlier test resolution software oh okay hello there tell me your name you were on facebook here oh great sandrine so what are you doing here i'm promoting wipo translate it's a translation tool based on ai for the translation of patent documents and how could that help us in terms of our sustainable development goals our global challenges that the un so you know it's so putting forward prominently it will help translate the text into different languages so removing language barriers has that proved effective so far i mean who's using it or is it being shared widely yes it's available free of charge online in our system and what else can i tell you oh yeah the um when we look at the result we have a much better result than it to like google for example google translate okay well thanks very much thank you so there's just one more i want to show you this is also another social cause involving women and i believe um violence and this is quite important throw over here now hello hello there hello can you just tell me a little bit i think you're also dealing with abuse aren't you not is it just women or is it a more kind of global thing involving everyone well the zero abuse project is a nonprofit dedicated to the eradication of child sexual assault worldwide and project g is an ai tool that allows us to identify risk behaviors that are that suggest predatory behaviors and not only that but also the risk behaviors associated with those who cover up the abuse so that allows us to go into institutions and partner with those institutions to identify predators and those who cover up the abuse why did you think it was important to be here at this ai global summit well when we were asked to come and present we weren't really sure if we were ready yet but we realize that some of the biggest most chronic issues that we're dealing with when it comes to child sexual abuse is inside of our institution and stg 16.2 directly addresses the problems that we have dealing with child sexual assault and trafficking and so it was a perfect fit for us to be here that makes sense well i appreciate it all three of you okay if you're telling us about that thank you so we're coming to the oh well we're afraid again yeah we have one more okay what's this tell us well this is all new to tell us hello who are you hello i'm gal i'm from neymar which is a french startup company um and we are building a digital twin as you can see here which is a digital representation of the world basically and we started on buildings in order to achieve sdg on for example on renewable energy by feeling the best truth to theorize or for energy consumption by finding buildings to renovate so this is all part of the smart cities projects it's linked and yeah it's related to smart cities in a way that we use data mostly open data or the data or our real imagery in order to gather information on cities buildings roads and almost everything you can imagine okay well thanks very much for that thank you so basically hopefully in the last 15 minutes or so on this facebook live we've given you a little bit of an insight inside the corridors of the it's headquarters here and about some of the delegates here 500 people a lot of media have been here a lot of exhibitors of course and they're all working together to basically push forward those sustainable development goals that the UN is so keen on promoting and we think that we've given you a little insight into that and I think the goals are quite remarkable you all agree as you get in touch with us here on the facebook live but we're coming to a close here so I just want to say thank you very much for joining us wherever you are around the world and we'll be keeping in touch with you over the coming days of course this ends old tomorrow evening but we'll be keeping you posted about all these new developments and we'll be following this of course over the next few years so thanks very much for staying with us throughout this facebook live and that's it for now
