00:00 Thank you to the World Government Summit, the Museum of the Future, and His Excellency
00:06 Omar Soltan Al-Alama.
00:08 It's such a pleasure to do this with you and to be in partnership for this incredible event.
00:15 At Time, we have been focused on leading the conversation about development, advancement
00:21 of AI from our ongoing strong editorial coverage to our very first Time 100 AI list, where
00:31 we recognized the most important individuals in AI from every industry and from every geography.
00:41 Many who are in this room tonight.
00:48 I am extremely proud that we are devoting an entire event to the pioneers who have gone
00:58 above and beyond to move their industries and the world forward.
01:06 Through our Time events, our mission is to bring together dynamic leaders like yourselves
01:14 to spark collaboration and encourage learning, dialogue, and most importantly, action.
01:23 And there is no more exciting topic right now than AI, and I know all of you here today
01:29 agree.
01:30 AI has the power to affect almost every industry you can think of, including ours.
01:40 In media, we have a saying that change is the only constant, but this one feels really
01:48 different.
01:50 We are truly seeing a technology revolution.
01:55 And even though we don't know where this is all going, I can promise you that Time will
02:02 be covering it every single step of the way.
02:07 Let's give a very big round of applause to Time's Editor-in-Chief, Sam Jacobs.
02:19 And I want to acknowledge our Time team here tonight.
02:22 Just raise your hands.
02:28 We have an incredible commitment to reporting these stories and reporting them to our largest
02:36 global audience in our 100-year history.
02:45 I would like to congratulate all of tonight's Time 100 Impact Award honorees.
02:53 You represent so many different areas of expertise while helping shape the future and path of
03:00 AI.
03:02 As we demonstrated with the Time 100 AI list, the driving force behind every advantage in
03:09 machine learning and language models is people, all of you.
03:17 I'd also like to thank our sponsors, AI71 and Northern Data Group, because without them,
03:24 this evening would not be possible.
