Trump dismisses calls for AI slowdown from leading tech CEOs - Al Jazeera

Taking place in Abu Dhabi from 2–5 November, the world's largest energy event will connect technology innovators with the energy operators, investors and policymakers responsible for putting intelligent solutions to work at scale. The scale of the opportunity is significant. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), widespread adoption of existing AI applications could deliver up to US$110 billion in annual power generation savings by 2035, while unlocking as much as 175 gigawatts (GW) of additional transmission capacity from existing power lines. At the same time, the rapid expansion of AI and data centres is placing new demands on electricity systems, reinforcing the growing interdependence between the energy and technology sectors. Reflecting this shift, AI will be a central theme across ADIPEC 2026, spanning its Strategic and Technical Conferences, exhibition and Leadership Roundtables.

As global leaders in artificial intelligence call for a pause in the technology's advancement, developers across Inuit Nunangat are continuing community-led efforts to develop Inuktitut-language AI tools. Developers like Robin Anawak, an Iqaluit-based researcher currently developing his own learning translation tool, Eskimo AI, says there is already a lack of accurate Inuktitut representation in the digital world. "I think the potential for AI in helping more people learn Inuktitut and then being able to access the internet and digital media is enormous," Anawak said. "Indigenous languages across Canada and around the world are in decline. "Anawak says immersive apps and language tools could serve as a beneficial way for people across Inuit Nunangat to learn the language in the future. Data from Statistics Canada's Indigenous Peoples Survey shows that younger Inuit were less likely to speak Inuktitut very well in 2022, compared to data collected in 2017. While some mainstream AI platforms are capable of taking in Inuktitut requests, their outputs aren't always helpful for users.
