TORONTO, ON – As artificial intelligence continues to be one of the hottest topics of Collision 2023, today's top talks included: In conversation with the Godfather of AI with Geoffrey Hinton and the Atlantic CEO Nicholas Thompson; How AI Is changing the world with Google DeepMind chief business officer Colin Murdoch.

Other important seminars that took place on the second day of the conference: Marketing in 2024 with Wolff Olins CEO Sairah Ashman, CrossCheck Studios founder and chairman Josh Richards, AnyRoad co-founder and CEO Jonathan Yaffe and TheStreet anchor JD Durkin; Journalism and (re)building public trust with creator Brian Tyler Cohen, Semafor founding editor-at-large Steve Clemons and the Walrus executive director Jennifer Hollett.


"But what if we let AI do the thinking? (...) I completely reject this notion. AI cannot think. AI can automate and AI can execute decisions. When you are not the one making the decision, and it looks like the machine is doing it, there is someone who is actually making that decision for you. Whoever built the technology – that is the person doing the thinking." - Cassie Kozyrkov, Chief Decision Scientist, Google
