In his view, companies should treat their products like their children. Rather than sending them off into the world to become orphans, businesses should have a longer-term relationship with their products, bringing their \u2018children\u2019 (products) back home from time to time so they can be refreshed and put out into the world again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s stupid that we don\u2019t use products longer. We\u2019re seeing each product as a single entity \u2014 when the battery dies, we get rid of it. But what are the different components?\u201d Cockerill said.<\/p>\n<p>One idea discussed was a move towards zero-mined products, or products built from existing materials and inputs, without the need for newly mined materials.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Humanism_The_philosophical_debate_for_AI_ethics\"><\/span><strong>Humanism: The philosophical debate for AI ethics<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This panel conversation brought together four AI experts to discuss how we can shift the conversation around AI from the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> itself to how it can actually benefit and be put in service of humankind.<\/p>\n<p>Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNet, and a proponent of the idea that Artificial <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General<\/a> Intelligence is just around the corner said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re likely to have AIs that are as smart as humans in the next few years. Who owns and controls AI and what the AI is deployed to do is important. Is it developed in the interest of all or a small group of people?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Vivienne Ming, Co-founder &amp; Executive Chair at Socos Labs, provided some interesting food for thought:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should be thinking not only: \u2018Am I better when I use technology?\u2019 But also, \u2018Am I better after I use it,\u2019\u201d she said. As our reliance on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>s made to make our lives easier grows, what might the longer-term consequences be? As an example, she cited the impact that our reliance on Google Maps could have on our capacity for spatial navigation.<\/p>\n<p>Balancing innovation with data privacy, but also making data accessible to all (companies big and small) were also discussed amongst other opportunities that could help us develop more ethical uses for AI.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Laundering_the_loot_from_the_worlds_fastest_heist\"><\/span><strong>Laundering the loot from the world\u2019s fastest heist<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Journalist Geoff White took the audience on a journey of mystery and intrigue as he discussed his investigation of the Lazarus Heist \u2014 the quickest and arguably largest heist in the world during which North Korean hackers were able to get away with $625,000,000 in 1 minute and 55 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>But the cybercriminals weren\u2019t home-free. With millions in a digital wallet, the next challenge was figuring out how to launder such a large amount of crypto-based cash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHackers don\u2019t necessarily know how international banking works \u2014 how to actually move the money they\u2019ve stolen. That\u2019s where money launders come in,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>The hackers looked to Tornado Cash, a crypto tumbler running on Ethereum.<\/p>\n<p>This led to a transatlantic investigation, a debate over freedom of speech and privacy, and a prank involving unsuspecting celebrities like Jimmy Fallon and Shaquille O\u2019Neal.

She\u2019s best-known for implanting seismic sensors in her feet, which vibrated when an earthquake shook the planet. These rocky rhythms would then guide her dance routines.<\/p>\n<p>On the stage, Ribas banged a drum to the beat of the tremors. Such fusions with tech, she said, can strengthen our bonds with nature.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow that I identify as a cyborg, I don\u2019t feel closer to robots and machines, but to the Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sustainability_at_TNW_2024\"><\/span><strong>Sustainability at TNW 2024<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Continuing our commitment towards making TNW conference as sustainable as possible, the catering onsite featured all meatless options, from steamy mushroom-based dumplings to Moroccan msemen.
