How Might We Help with Global Unemployment?
Imagine a platform where unemployed people can ‘safely’ collaborate and experiment with concepts and ideas: ‘virtual startups’ powered by the workforce of unemployed people.
What if there was a specialized collaboration platform for unemployed people, to allow them to connect and exchange ideas? To offer each other expertise and services, and potentially form new businesses? To run zero-cost business experiments by exchanging services, expertise, and resources? To network and build strong professional relationships?

HMW help solve Misinformation and Fake News?
Fake news and misinformation is a major problem in the modern, connected world. Unless we act now, it will only get worse.
Fake news and misinformation is a major problem in the modern, connected world. Although various forms of propaganda have been around for ages, digital ‘fake news’ is becoming a major threat, partly due to the ease of creating, diffusing, and consuming content.
False or misleading stories can be easily created and diffused via the global online networks - in a matter of a few clicks. Fake stories become part of the personalized, endless feeds that people consume on a daily basis. And what makes the problem worse is that a significant percentage of the ‘social media users’ tend to consume content easily and share mechanically without the required critical thinking.

Artificial Intelligence Against Climate Change
Can Artificial Intelligence help us solve humanity’s burning problems like climate change?
In the era of ‘Internet of Things’, properly trained Artificial Intelligence models can optimize and orchestrate industrial and commercial activities — from an efficiency and energy consumption point of view. AI can also help people and companies to consume energy wisely and actively participate in a global effort toward sustainability. But how could this vision become a reality? Who should orchestrate such global programs? How could AI help us protect the environment, the planet, the humankind?
