Development finance needs a multi-asset fund structure investing in systems transformation rather than single solutions. We brainstorm about that here with @gquaggiotto @ElaMi5 @UNDP_innovation: medium.com/@undp.innovation/…

From funding projects to funding portfolios

What would a fund for systemic interventions look like?

Systemic funds for development need: 1. The flexibility to use multiple financial instruments at the same time (e.g. grants, credit, equity) 2. Independent long-term mandates 3. Stakeholder ownership and participation

Interesting piece on institutional change and #AI by @leoquattrucci weforum.org/agenda/2017/10/a… #policy

The age of robots could be a new Renaissance. This is why

As machines grow in ability and complexity, how can we ensure they reflect the best of humanity, rather than the worst?

Conversational #AI will be endemic in enterprise. The best startups will enhance memory and intuition of bots #wsai17

Let's not talk about "optimising" things like #education using #data. Truth is the future is uncertain, diversification is the key #wsai17

How can you prevent OpenSource #AI from being used for malevolent reasons? Institutional check simply not enough #wsai17

Should there be such things as "values" in #AI code? Yes. Models already embed biases from their creators #wsai17

The true challenge to be overcome in #AI is learning from #smalldata - And most likely part of the answer is in Bayesian stats #wsai17

A big challenge for #DeepLearning is to learn how to reason: inferring causation is still a very complex task #wsai17
