Riva Media – AI Keynote Speakers, Event MCs. Moderators
This week has seen a number of major international technology events relating in particular to Artificial Intelligence, so we thought this would be a good opportunity to tell you more about the people we work with in the AI field.
Our client BBC Technology Zoe Kleinman, has been attending the AI Action Summit in Paris. it ended in controversy with the UK and the US refusing to sign an international agreement on Artificial Intelligence.
Earlier in the Summit, Zoe also reflected on how different it was to the world’s first AI Safety Summit at Bletchley Park in the UK in November 2023, saying there’s a “drill-baby-drill” momentum to the discussions, as everyone looks to harness the benefits of Artificial Intelligence, while security and privacy concerns continue.
Zoe is a hugely popular Keynote Speaker, Moderator and Host for events relating to Artificial intelligence and people value the insights, experience and expertise she brings.
Two other Riva Media clients have had a momentous week. On their excellent Times Tech podcast, the Times Technology Business Editor Katie Prescott and Times West Coast Correspondent Danny Fortson conducted a fascinating interview with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
