“Here we are in Palexpo. We have 15,000 people registered. We’ll see how many turn up, but it’s a lot. We have an online community of 45,000 people on our neural network from 198 countries, and we have 53 UN sister agency partners and 100 ministers and regulators here today. So it really is the multi-stakeholder platform on AI for the UN system, but also for the whole world.”

“This year officially it’s the year of quantum, right? But if it were up to me, I would say it’s the year of robots. Why am I saying this? I’ve really seen the evolution of robotics from the idea of the concept in 2017. And now you really have the physical manifestation of AI in robotics, autonomous driving and brain-computer interface technologies.”

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr Takanori Shibata, scientist and inventor:
“So, Paro has many kinds of sensors. Paro responds to touch, talk and some others, and Paro has temperature control for example, and Paro is controlled by the embodied artificial intelligence.”

16. SOUNDBITE (English) Cornel Amariei, founder of Lumen:
“We took self-driving technology and we built it we call them the glasses which replicate what the guide dog is doing. But as a simple analogy, if a guide dog works by pulling your hand and avoiding you from obstacles, this actually works by pulling your head, I actually feel haptics on my head, slightly pulling my head, avoiding me from obstacles, keeping me on the sidewalk and taking me to my destination.”

19. SOUNDBITE (English) Professor Lee Seung-Jae, Mechanical System Design Engineer, SeoulTech:
“The mechanism we have developed is called a ‘palletrone’ system, and it is what we call the thrust vectoring control system. So in a conventional multi-rotor, the entire fuselage needs to be tilted towards that direction for the translation of motion, but in our case the thruster is tilting so therefore even though we do not… so by not tilting the entire fuselage, but only tilting the thrusters, it can maintain this altitude"

21. SOUNDBITE (English) Ivan Flugelman, Creative Director, Journee.ai:
“We create human AIs that interact with real-time experiences. And we can scale this technology to customer support, sales, or education.”
