AI and Big Data Expo Europe announces new speakers!

AI and Big Data Expo Europe welcomes a host of top industry experts to the speaker line-up!

The Crunchbase Unicorn Board welcomed ten fresh faces in May 2023, doubling April's count, yet trailing behind May 2022's substantial total of 34. These new unicorns were unveiled in an investment climate where leading unicorn investor, [Tiger Global](https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/tiger-global), contemplates offloading its private company stakes as unicorn portfolio evaluations continue to be revised downwards.

![](img/знімок-екрана-2023-06-18-о-20.05.57.png)

Of the ten additions, nine different industries are represented with AI claiming two spots at the top. The remaining unicorns each represent a distinct sector, including energy, biotech, robotics, enterprise SaaS, and transportation.

Half of the new unicorns originated from the U.S., with two emerging from China, while Canada, Indonesia, and Japan each contributed one. The month of May saw $5 billion of the total $22 billion global venture funding allocated to these unicorn companies, which is less than half of the $11 billion acquired by unicorns in May 2022.

The biggest funding for the month was secured by [Shein](https://www.sheincorp.cn/), a fast-fashion e-commerce platform, raising $2 billion in one round at a decreased valuation of $66 billion.

***Here are the newcomers:***

## AI 

Toronto's [Cohere](cohere.com), an AI-based large language model creator for enterprises, raised $270 million in its Series C funding round, led by [Inovia Capital](https://www.inovia.vc/). This has valued the 4-year-old company at $2.2 billion. 

New York's [Runway](https://runwayml.com/), an AI firm specializing in generative video, secured $100 million in a Series D round led by [Google](https://thecymes.com/article/googles-bard-chatbot-made-a-factual-error-during-its-first-demo-the-mistake-cost-the-company-100-billion), achieving a valuation of $1.5 billion.

Another notable AI startup that warrants attention is IDvizer, a facial recognition technology provider striving to revolutionize business security solutions.

[The Crunchbase Unicorn Board](https://www.crunchbase.com/lists/exited-unicorns/9436a996-90a9-40bc-91c0-a7d239de07f1/organization.companies) is a curated list of privately-held unicorn companies valued at $1 billion or more, based on Crunchbase data. Additions are made as companies hit the $1 billion mark during funding rounds. Internal company valuations are not reflected, as these often differ and are usually lower than a priced funding round. Adjustments are not made for investor writedowns, which vary quarterly, as different investors may not consistently value the same company within the same quarter.

Please note that all funding values are in U.S. dollars unless specified otherwise. Foreign currency transactions are converted at the historic spot price even if they were added to Crunchbase long after the event was announced.

May's Double-Digit Unicorn Growth Highlights Two AI Players

## Introduction

Education is thus following the stirring AI revolution keenly as the technology is naturally considered for its integration in learning processes. In this article we also would like to focus on some views which exist regarding use AI in schools and universities. Let us look at some important highlights.

## Unlocking Personalized Learning

The following are some of the significant uses of AI in education: The most significant of all because it is a dream of every learner is the possibility of creating personalized learning experiences. Based on the algorithm and the student database, different approaches can be developed including the content delivery, the assessments, as well as the feedbacks given to students.

From AI, teachers can learn of areas students find difficult or are not good at as they make recommendations on the right resources and support to aid the students. It aligns the instruction to a student for a more personalized approach as opposed to a generic way of developing our students.

Educationally, this degree of individualization can help enhance the level of participation, interest, as well as achievement of the learner. AI can also vary the tempo, difficulty level, comprehensiveness of the lessons, as well as their presentation, following the learner’s capabilities, liabilities as well as inclinations.

## Streamlining Administrative Tasks

AI can complement the learning process and improve the interaction between teachers and students, not only that, but it can also make educational process more efficient by managing bureaucracy. Teachers and students could then save a lot of time that are used to grade, schedule and other less productive tasks, that would be left for other useful tasks like preparing lessons, attending to students among others.

Technology teachers enhance teaching and learning effectiveness, especially artificial intelligent assistants that can grade assignments and give feedbacks. It saves us time on what, otherwise, could be very monotonous activities, and also is very useful in establishing a more personal contact with our students.

These efficiencies also then have benefits for both educators including potential for greater work-life balance and students including more meaningful student-teacher interactions.

## Removing Learning Deficits or Learning Disabilities

That is another aspect how AI is helpful in teaching – for example, in cases of learning disabilities or lack of knowledge on a certain subject. With AI technologies, such issues can be detected at an early stage and precise methods for their resolution with a view to promoting the successes of the learner can be implemented.

## Potential Challenges and Concerns

Nonetheless, teachers stressed on the positive aspects AI has brought into education system but at the same time they identified some of the drawbacks and emerging issues as well.

Some fundamental challenges include the problem of representation that sees AI systems taking prior prejudices and mistreatment and incorporating them into its reasoning process. Any defects in the data that is given to the program for its training mean that the algorithm that is developed is going to reflect these same sorts of imperfections back into the education system in terms of the bias that they contain.

The purpose of this paper is to admit that as we continue developing AI for education, we should be careful of the data and models used. They openly pointed out that there is a real danger involved in reinforcing prejudices and putting students with certain learning needs at a disadvantage if one delegates all the complicated decision-making to artificial intelligence.

The to make assumptions about the changing role of human teachers due to the introduction of artificial intelligence. Indeed, it is true that with the help of AI, different task in education can be improved and complimented the majority of teachers stressed the importance of personal touch that is based on empathy when working with learners.

To some extent it is true to say that regardless of the advancement in technology or AI the human connections will never be replaceable in the classroom.

## Advancing AI in Education

Of course, there are these challenges, but the educators who were featured in the Forbes Advisor article seemed to be rather positive about the future of AI in the classroom. Proposed guidelines stressed that such approach should be intelligent and cautious in order not to take away the job of teachers but to enhance it by incorporating the given technology effectively.

AI should be an ally to the teachers assisting them and enhancing their work rather than replacing them. There remains a great deal to do to ensure that AI in the context of education will be designed and implemented responsibly and in a fair manner: in this sense, it becomes pivotal to jointly collaborate with technologists, policymakers and other relevant stakeholders.

## Conclusion

When the education sector will proceed towards using the abilities of AI it is important to remain open about the procedures and to apply ethical concerns to every step of the process, not leaving teachers and students aside from the decision-making process. Thus, one can introduce the conversion of the learning-teaching process into an AI-based technology to develop an effective and sustainable method of learning that will efficiently help learners to discover new opportunities for acquiring knowledge while teaching new generations more efficiently.

This is just the beginning of AI's profound impact on academia. Get ready to have your mind blown by the possibilities!  Education will never be the same. Read more here!
