  • ICYMI: Godfather of AI has a love/hate relationship with tech he helped create
    Nov 14 2023

    Geoffrey Hinton aka the Godfather of AI pioneered the neural networks that power today’s artificial intelligence revolution. But where does AI go from here?

    Geoffrey digs into the big questions like whether robots will take our jobs and if AI could someday outsmart humans.

    While those working in roles involving repetitive tasks are in danger of being replaced by automation, Geoffrey recommends young people train for hands-on jobs that require dexterity and skill such as custom carpentry or plumbing.

    Geoffrey Hinton, the Godfather of AI, was in conversation with Nick Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic on Centre Stage at Collision 2023.

  • Is artificial meat the new norm?
    Nov 7 2023

    Could artificial meat be the new normal? In this episode of the Next Stage, we learn from three entrepreneurs working to create meat alternatives using plants, fungi, and cell cultivation.

    They discuss the products and technologies that enable them to replicate the taste, texture and nutrition of conventional meat, as well as the challenges involved in scaling up production.

    The founders share their visions for making alt meat ubiquitous, affordable, and enthusiastically adopted by meat-eaters – all in order to significantly reduce the climate and health impacts of our meat consumption.

    With several companies poised to launch artificial meat products commercially in the next year, we may soon witness these meatless options become the default choice for consumers.

    SciFi Foods co-founder and CEO Joshua March, Prime Roots co-founder and CEO Kimberlie Le, and New School Foods founder and CEO Chris Bryson were in conversation with Toby Heaps, co-founder and CEO of Corporate Knights, on planet:tech at Collision 2023
