EO Women’s Summit Montreal
This week I attended and spoke at the EO Women’s Summit in Montreal, Canada. The energy in the room was unlike any other group I’ve been with. Every woman was genuinely interested in learning and connecting. This made it so easy to have meaningful and fun conversations with every person that I was blessed to sit by throughout. We experienced local art, food, and culture.
Montreal and Quebec have a surprising amount of AI projects in the works in many areas including Data Resource Management, Economics, and Music.

Explore the WordPress AI Vision
🤖 New Robot System Plans in Seconds!
MIT and NVIDIA researchers created a powerful new system called cuTAMP that helps robots solve complex tasks like packing items in just seconds.
Instead of trying one solution at a time, the robot checks thousands of options at once using high-speed GPUs. This makes it much faster and smarter, perfect for warehouses or factories.
I can’t wait until the house keeper robot is ready to ship! Yes I have a roomba, but he can’t do my laundry and dishes.
No training needed. Just give it a new task, and it figures it out!

Routine meetings? No problem. Hear how Otter.ai is building AI avatars to handle mundane meeting tasks while synthesizing invaluable insights in record time. CEO Sam Liang unveils the vision during the Bloomberg Tech Conference.
🤖 Why it matters: Automating meetings can save countless hours for enterprise teams, giving you more time for strategic innovation. Otter is not the only one doing this! You can currently create AI Avatars that will attend a zoom meeting for you on HeyGen. We have colleagues that are already using these avatars for screening interviews.
⚖️ Reddit’s AI Battle Sparks Legal Milestones
Reddit has filed a lawsuit against Anthropic, accusing the AI startup of using its site data to train AI without proper licensing. This case marks the first instance of a major platform legally challenging an AI model provider over training data.
💡 Takeaway for businesses: If AI is part of your strategy, keeping ethical data use at the forefront is vital. If you didn’t create the data, it’s likely, you can’t train on it without explicit permission. Get those agreements in writing!
