Welcome

The confluence of artificial intelligence with other advances in digital and biological sciences is presenting an exciting wave of innovations, opening up a world of possibilities for healthcare. In this issue, IKE CEO Professor Sa'ad Sam Medhat explores AI’s innovation potential and what it means for organisations in the health and life sciences space. 

We also explore the rapid evolution of AI across industry overall, accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, and find out how it is impacting organisations, governments and individuals.

Climate change remains at the forefront of global concerns. We hear how the private sector needs to step up its efforts towards net-zero emissions, and find out about the IKE Institute's work with its partner organisations to establish two engines of change supporting innovation and renewables.

Elsewhere, we find out what businesses need to know about the state of play in quantum computing, take a look at advances in smart city technologies and how pioneering cities around the world are implementing them, and more.
