Future Talent Council has a keen interest in advancing #lifelonglearning through #AI, and initiatives aimed at democratizing access to AI literacy training. This was one key focus of our "AI Summit on Life Sciences" at Bentley University earlier this year. Today we present the summit white paper – which includes statements from Future Talent Council Director-General Daniel Kjellsson and Bentley University Provost Paul Tesluk. Alongside executive summaries of keynotes and dialogues featuring Jeff Karp, Ronald Dorenbos, Shwen Gwee, Danielle Blanch Hartigan, Jared Auclair, John Fischetti, Caitlin Reimers Brumme, Joseph Lehár, Keith Mikule, Reagan Mozer, Jason Cordeiro, Janak Joshi, Jeanne LeClair, Luba Greenwood, J.D., Sridhar Iyengar, Milind Kamkolkar ... and many more. Our gratitude goes out to all participants, and the energy they have provided since the event. Let us all work for AI to be not another accelerator of what is dividing us, but a long-awaited leveler of worldwide access to quality learning, and work. Thank you to Bentley University and the Bentley University Center for Health and Business for hosting this important dialogue.
