Greetings,

Register for Future Festival here!
This week's AI innovations showcase how artificial intelligence is being integrated into systems that impact urban safety, branding, data, and well-being. The POLIS concept introduces a forward-thinking traffic control system built for robot-powered cities, managing the flow of pedestrians, delivery bots, drones, and more in shared urban spaces. 3Play Media, long known for its video accessibility services, has rebranded to become a global video solutions provider, signaling a broader strategic move into AI-driven content and branding services. Smartlyze is simplifying data science with a natural language interface that allows users to query complex datasets conversationally, making analytics more accessible across teams. Pinterest is increasing transparency in content creation with a new AI labeling system that clearly marks generative and modified imagery across its platform. Meanwhile, Parente AI is reshaping mental health support for kids by empowering parents with AI-guided tools and education to provide care directly at home.

To see how innovations like these fit into the larger picture of what's next, don't miss Future Festival World Summit 2025 in Toronto, happening September 23–25. This immersive three-day event brings together the most important ideas and innovations transforming business, culture, and consumer behavior. Reserve your tickets today to take part in the decade's most strategic innovation experience.

Enjoy!
