Tech Vs. Hate: Antisemitism is on the rise around the world thanks to social media and online efforts by hate groups and political entities. As part of its simultaneous Cyber and AI weeks, Tel Aviv University hosted “Tech Vs. Hate”, a women-led seminar bringing antisemitism experts together with entrepreneurs using fascinating technological solutions to fight online bigotry. Participants spoke about steps that can be taken now as well as government and industry policies that must be adopted in the near future. Maya Shabi of EverC: "We saw on 10/7 how immediately nation-state actors and organized groups capitalized and weaponized social media algorithms so to hijack the narrative. If the financial industry had been watching more closely, funding for that propaganda wouldn't have made it to those groups."

Cyber Week TLV and AI Week TLV: Convergence of Minds for Tech and Society Last week at Cyber and AI Week TLV, I participated in pivotal events highlighting the intersection of technology, society, and human rights. At "Tech vs. Hate: Combating Online Antisemitism," I shared the stage with esteemed colleagues including Michal Cotler-Wunsh, Avi Mayer (אבי מאיר), Carole Nuriel, Tal-Or Cohen Montemayor,Maya S. and Stav Cohen Lasri. We discussed how industry leaders, innovative technology such as GenAI, social organizations, and terror and money laundering experts can unite to combat online hate speech, as Jewish communities are the first target of fundamentalists, with the West next in line. This week, I also met notable attendees including the inspiring and A-list producer Fernando Garibay, known for his work with artists like Lady Gaga, Sia, U2, Whitney Houston and his vision to leverage creativity and AI to impact the world; Len Khodorkovsky, Senior Advisor to the Chairman, Krach Institute for Tech Diplomacy at Purdue University; Dr. Melanie G., Cyber Policy & Tech Geopolitics at Tony Blair Institute for Global Change; Ann-Katrin Skrek, Trade Officer, Embassy of Sweden in Tel Aviv, and many more. We discussed leveraging technology for freedom and global impact. These events, among many others in this inspiring week, emphasized the crucial role of cross-sector collaboration in creating a safer digital world. Grateful for the insights and connections made. Thanks to Cyber and AI Week's professional organizers Louise Brown Oz, Liat Fischer and their team from the International Conference and Research Center (ICRC) for these vital dialogues. I'm confident this is just the beginning of many fruitful collaborations to come 🌎 Generative AI for Good #CyberWeekTLV #AIForGood #TechVsHate #DigitalFreedom #TechForGood

Loved meeting so many AI Entrepreneurs from both the ecosystem and the academy to discuss the future of AI at AI Week TLV Tel Aviv University. That was the most interactive session I delivered in the past few months in Microsoft for Startups, with so many enthusiastic students, founders and AI experts sharing their perspectives and practices. Still digesting some of those great ideas we discussed and looking forward to partner with those startups in our Founders Hub program - the future is definitely exciting!

AI Week TLV and Cyber Week TLV at Tel Aviv University: What does it mean to be human? What is the role of the composer in the age of algorithmic composition? With an incredible panel featuring Fernando Garibay, François Pachet, Prof. Shlomit Yanisky-Ravid, Israel's own Izhar Ashdot, and Ivri Lider, moderated by Dr. Eyal Brook, the session on 'The Future of Creativity in the Age of Generative AI' was easily one of our favorites! The session kicked off with an amazing musical performance by Omer Luz and Eyal Brook. We used Opus Clip, an AI-powered video clipping tool, to auto-generate this clip and nine others from a 7-minute, phone-captured video—considering the theme, it seemed to be the only appropriate way.
