SUMMARY:OpenForum Academy Symposium
DESCRIPTION:About the event \nThe OFA Symposium is the only academic conference covering questions relating to the social\, political and economic impact of Open Source. The Symposium enables the linking of research agendas\, growth of the research community\, and the understanding of the societal value of Open Source. \nThe 2023 edition of the OFA Symposium at TU Berlin set the OFA’s agenda for Open Source research for the coming years. The 2024 edition is hosted by the Digital Data Design Institute at Harvard to evolve the concept even further and raise the ambition level of the quality and impact of academic open source research. \nThe OFA Symposium will bring together an interdisciplinary set of researchers\, practitioners\, and policymakers from around the world to Harvard Business School\, Boston\, in order to explore the transformative power of Open Source software and hardware. \nUnder the theme Open Source in the Global Digital Economy the OFA Symposium will focus on the social\, political\, and economic implications of open source. We will examine how open source is changing the way we work\, communicate\, and interact with each other\, and how it is shaping the future of technology and society. \nOpenUK Team \nDawn Foster will be talking at the OFA on the panel about “Measuring the impact of public funding for open source software: Methodological considerations and reflections from the field” \nPresentation

SUMMARY:NextGenAI
DESCRIPTION:NextGenAI\nIntelligent Banking\,\nIntelligent Future\n26 November 2024 | St Paul’s\, London\nEvent summary \nNextGen: AI – https://www.nextgenai.world/ \nDate: Tuesday 26 November \nLocation : Convene Sancroft St Paul’s (Rose Street off Paternoster Sq.) \nAgenda: https://www.nextgenai.world/agenda \nAmanda Brock\, CEO OpenUK\, will be talking at a panel. \n12.00-12.30 – Where next with AI? \nThe rise of ChatGPT as a mass consumption natural language model in 2023 marked the era of GenAI democratisation. While most financial services players remain bullish on the future of GenAI\, the numerous use cases may change their mind. GenAI analyses customer behaviour\, discovers preferences\, and has the power to unlock important insights\, leading to more personalised user experiences and improved customer service. We are already witnessing a shift from traditional chatbots to sophisticated ones that are highly trained in semantics and can provide knowledgeable responses. The technology is capable of not only generating immediate\, precise\, and natural-sounding answers\, but it can also analyse a customer’s financial history and credit rating and help them source and choose the best loan option for their unique situation. AI assistants can also help staff to more quickly access key information for clients\, and more intelligent robotic process automation (RPA) allows a level of usability with AI enhancements that will make it more valuable to enhance workflows and automate decisions. In addition to this\, advances in natural language processing (NLP) combined with other traditional AI that can spot trends and anomalies unlocks a more complete picture.
