Hi Nagla and all, Thank you for sharing this. I will also be in Geneva and look forward to sharing some of the work we have been doing with the ITU Academic Advisory Board. I have no doubt this will be a particularly important AI for Good. As Michael suggested, a coffee with NoC colleagues sounds like an excellent idea!
