Artificial intelligence is embedded in almost every aspect of our lives, from financial services to healthcare, retail, and beyond, and will play an increasingly important role in everything we do and what we create. But we have merely scratched the surface of what the technology can deliver; ample opportunities exist for us to build solutions that can work together with humans and help us make better decisions, especially for high-stake use cases where human emotions play an important role. In this episode of One Vision, Theo chats with Francesca Rossi, IBM fellow and IBM AI Ethics Global Leader, on the foundational properties for AI ethics and putting the principles into action. https://ibm.co/3DB8F4w

Two weeks ago the EU parliament and Council negotiators agreed new EU rules to limit the market power of big online platforms. The Digital Markets Act will ban certain practices used by large platforms acting as “gatekeepers” and enable the Commission to carry out market investigations and sanction non-compliant behaviour. Before the  Digital Markets Act was agreed I spoke to Amandine Le Pape founder of British tech start-up, Element about it. Amandine talks about her concerns on the EU  Digital Markets Act and why she thinks enforcing interoperability between apps through Open APIs. Essentially allowing Big Tech to control the process, which will build weak solutions to keep regulators at bay. More about the Digital Markets Act: EU lawmakers agreed that the largest messaging services (such as Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger or iMessage) will have to open up and interoperate with smaller messaging platforms, if they so request. Users of small or big platforms would then be able to exchange messages, send files or make video calls across messaging apps, thus giving them more choice. As regards interoperability obligation for social networks, co-legislators agreed that such interoperability provisions will be assessed in the future. Parliament also ensured that combining personal data for targeted advertising will only be allowed with explicit consent to the gatekeeper. They also managed to include a requirement to allow users to freely choose their browser, virtual assistants or search engines. If a gatekeeper does not comply with the rules, the Commission can impose fines of up to 10% of its total worldwide turnover in the preceding financial year, and 20% in case of repeated infringements. In case of systematic infringements, the Commission may ban them from acquiring other companies for a certain time.

Silta Finance is Ben's fourth startup and here is where he finds his passion. His corporate career was in infrastructure finance and he first heard about Bitcoin in 2011 but ignored it initially. It was only around 2016 that he took a bigger interest, crucially in the functionality. “I got that it was an immutable database but then I saw the functionality in the dApps and that piqued my curiosity.” With Silta Finance, his blockchain startup which is described as bridge connecting DeFI with infrastructure investments, Ben believes he can bridge the world of TradFi and DeFi. For him, Silta Finance sits right in the middle of these two worlds and can take the best from both.
