Le GESDA entame une nouvelle étape vers un public mondial
Original
The latest GESDA summit opened on Wednesday at CERN in Meyrin Switzerland.
Five years after GESDA’s launch, its mandate to ensure that “scientific breakthroughs” become a “common good” is “more relevant than ever”, said its Chairman Peter Brabeck-Letmathe. Only anticipation will make it possible to achieve this goal, he believes.
Especially as “society as a whole” is “overwhelmed by the speed of scientific developments”, including companies active in artificial intelligence (AI), he insists.
“We’re making very good progress”, agreed State Secretary Alexandre Fasel. “We’re on target”, he added.
After the Open Quantum Institute (OQI), GESDA will launch the public anticipation portal on Friday. This will include a global training framework, an interactive exhibition and an observatory.
