Konsortio Intellegentie
(Common: Consortium of Intelligence)
Industry: Robotics & AI
Country of Origin: Giovanniland
Description: Konsortio Intellegentie (KI) is an association of several major companies in Giovanniland for the purpose of advancing the development of artificial intelligence in the nation and in Esferos. Participants include the aforementioned Tullerigno, other technology companies such as Abrentekno, Kybermente, and Ordinatro Technologies, as well as independent businesspeople and scientists experienced in the field of AI.
KI was founded in 1405 after an unprecedented agreement between several Giovannilandian companies to form a consortium in the area of artificial intelligence, and devoted its early time to research in the field of deep learning. Building upon the research about AI that has been happening since the mid-14th century, KI was one of the pioneers in tasks such as better image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition through deep neural networks.
Gaining prominence since the last decade with breakthrough advancements related to generative artificial intelligence and large language models, KI has now become a common name in Giovannilandians' lives through the development of its own generative chatbot Violeta and text-to-image model VisioArti. The current CEO, Filippo Sekundino-Lurtone, has overseen this massive growth in visibility for KI and in this exposition stated his ongoing projects. These include improving the systems that millions of users are now familiar with, expanding KI's international reach, and eventually developing a text-to-video model in the coming years.

Loquanto
Industry: Quantum Mechanics
Country of Origin: Giovanniland
Description: Loquanto is a company established in 1399 acting in the field of quantum communication, with the goal of creating faster and more secure communication systems through the applications of quantum mechanics. The company was founded by Vera Sebastiano Keler, while the current CEO is her son Gigero Keler Kalventio. Furthermore, the name is derived from the Giovannese words loqua (speech, communication) and quanto (quantum).
The laws of quantum physics allow particles to simultaneously represent different states, a feature called superposition. The particles are called qubits, and often they are photons that can transmit data via optical cables. The interesting feature about superposition is that any tampering done by hackers disrupts this feature and leaves a sign of the activity. 
Another interesting application is quantum teleportation, which is possible due to a phenomenon called entanglement, where changes in one particle can affect another particle instantaneously. The current challenge, of course, is finding ways to create large teleportation networks based on this property and then use them for real life purposes. Loquanto is still studying this on a smaller scale, but is optimistic about its future prospects.
In simple terms, quantum communication offers several benefits over its traditional counterpart, for example better security and speed, as well as proofing against future computational advances. Loquanto seeks to collaborate with other like-minded companies across Esferos in the pursuit of ever-greater scientific and technological advancement.

Speaker Series Day 5
Research to Rollout: The Pipeline from Discoveries to Utilizable Technology
Moderator: Alexander Regnos, President of the Université de Gué
Key Points
“Many of the things we own or use started as an experiment in a lab,” said Alexander Regnos. “Computers, aspirin, dish soap, the list goes on. This session is about how those items move from the lab to everyday life. What we can do better, what we can throttle back on, and what it is that we’re really doing, when it comes to research and implementation.”
“The line between laboratory and the marketplace has gotten thinner with time,” said Gwen Meredydd. She is a researcher, author, and commentator from Nieubasria. “Many companies, especially in technology or the sciences, have their own internal research functions, usually to make improvements to copyrighted technology. We’re mainly looking at research that comes from public-first institutions, like universities, non-profits, and government funded research groups, and how research from these areas can spring out onto the world stage.”
“Overall this relationship has been beneficial,” Eugen Mladic said. He is an investor, businessman, and entrepreneur from Varanius. “These public institutions make incredible concepts and advancements, which a free market can fairly utilize. This isn’t to say there are no losers, but that is the nature of the old game. There are X number of customers, and if you don’t get enough of them as a business, you fail. But everybody knows this when they go into business. These public research institutions are for the public benefit, and if the public benefits, then who are we to say that something is going wrong.”
“There are more than a few cases where science that leaves the lab ends up being used for ill intentions,” said Camila Quikwasser. She is a researcher, news commentator, and advocate from Cambria. “Gasses and pathogens used as weapons of war, intrusive monitoring software, AI generated fakes. The problem is that a market that’s quick to take science and make a profit is too quick to use what they don’t fully understand. Make a buck now, learn later. With brand new technologies or practices, we have to learn now, or suffer the pains of learning later on. There might even be problems that we’ll learn about far too late in order to do anything to stop them.”
“Just like any good bread, you have to let it rise,” Alexander Regnos said. “Knowledge can do so much for society, but just as some of you have said, what ‘so much’ means can either be very positive, like improved quality of life, or very negative, incredible pain and suffering. My two cents would be that any nation should have a mechanism for tight enforcement, in case things really do go wrong with a new technology or method of doing.

My name is Alan Villers, and on behalf of the expositioners, our partners in the city of Gué, and the government of the Commonwealth of Nouveauterra, thank you.

It’s you who make 3E possible. Every visitor, speaker, and corporation who comes brings another piece of Esferos together into the light, for all of us to see.

Again, thank you for coming to the Esferos Economic Expo.
Transportation
The J Trolley, and the 411 bus are nearby for visitors to use. There is also a taxi queuing area which you can utilize. Safe travels!

Have you wanted to post in this event but couldn’t? Do you feel like you could add one or two more companies to your nation’s roster?

Now’s your chance to make it real, with After Hours!

After Hours will run from today 4/6, to next week, 4/13, 7AM EST. You’ll get to post whatever company you want, however there are two rules:

You can’t exceed the company showing limit, so only one company per industry.
This includes people who’ve posted for the main event already.

You have to label which day the company would have appeared. Here's the original calendar from the main event.

Here’s a format to make things standard:
[Company Logo]
[Name] [trade name or name used in advertising]
Industry: [insert industry here], [the day it would best fit in*] *Either April 1, April 2, April 3, April 4, or April 5
[Country of Origin]
[Description]
Description word count should be between 100 and 350 words (to reduce clutter). Add any pictures and logos you feel would show the company best. If the company was previously featured in an RP event, or a news event, feel free to link it in the post.
Community-wide posting rules apply.

Good luck and have fun guys. The main event had a great showing, so I’m excited to see what people think up for After Hours.

Emeria Lavanda
(Common: Lavender Bank)
Industry: Financial Services
Country of Origin: Giovanniland
Description: Emeria Lavanda is one of the largest banks in Giovanniland, with significant operations in the other Lavender Island countries of Blue Bubble and Minsu as well. The bank traces back its origins to the reign of Giovannian emperor Vittore I, who oversaw an era of maritime expeditions that reached as far as the other side of the Viatic Ocean. The emperor encouraged the establishment of trading posts in different continents, and the trade was facilitated by multiple institutions of merchants and moneylenders. One of them, called the Instituto Kommerki Lavandule (Common: Trading Institute of Lavandula) was established in the northern coastal city of Uryde in the year of 923, and around a century later, formally assumed the name of Emeria Lavanda that continues to the present day.
Fast forward to more recent times, and Emeria Lavanda has certainly endured the test of time, having stayed in operation for centuries and adapting to the world economy's shifts such as industrialization and the technological revolution. The bank has been fundamental in increasing the financial sector's significance for the Giovannilandian economy, and today has grown into a major bank in Giovanniland and Lavender Island. Presently, around 8% of the national GDP comes from this sector, and Emeria Lavanda among other national banks has earned a reputation of having a very secure and technological system, alongside low taxes for money deposits.
Augusto Emilio-Nyima, the current CEO since ten years ago, comes from a wealthy family in northern Giovanniland and has continued his predecessors' progress in leveraging the latest technologies to enhance customer experience. In this vein, Emeria Lavanda is also known in the nation for having the most user-friendly and feature-rich digital banking platform, and its use of AI to streamline various operations.

Speaker Series Day 4
AI Decision-making In Smart Service Networks
Moderator: Hal Van Halenbaum, Mayor of the city of Gué
Key Points
“If you’re in a city, you’re connected to a big web of people you don’t know, but affect your life,” said Hal Van Halenbaum. “Restaurants and their delivery drivers. Electricians who respond to outages detected over a remote network. Police, firefighting officers, and EMTs who respond to pull stations, alarms, or 111 calls. These networks have a lot of data, which can do a great deal of good when wielded well. With the way AI has been implemented in industrial and production settings, let’s see how AI can be brought into the smart service network.”
“Service networks are made of three parts,” Ula Rayner said. She is a social science researcher from Ageros. “Sensors, which are people or machines that monitor the environment. Connectors, which are systems or people who collate what sensors are reading from the environment. Lastly, there are agents, who get signals from connectors on where they have to go to do something, either fight crime or get a cat out of a tree. Emergency call centers were the first iteration of a unifying service network, where fire, police, EMS, and technical assistance could be deployed based on input from callers.”
“AI has already aided the banking sector,” said Augusto Emilio-Nyima. He is the CEO of Emeria Lavanda in Giovanniland, one of the largest banks in the nation. “AI detects suspicious transactions and freezes accounts until account holders confirm or deny the transaction. AI can surely work in an electrical grid, detecting fluctuations and immediately deploying technicians to a service sector. Or collating mass reports in the same area to alert relative leadership of a quickly evolving major incident. When built at scale, I and many others can definitely see the benefits of AI doing the hard micromanaging and detecting that would take hundreds of thousands of analysts to do normally.”
“All of the previous examples have been for very concrete things,” said Wohali Wakan. She is a CEO of a non-profit health service network in Zoran. “This will creep into other service sectors, as any innovation has. And when we have the errors that AI has in false alarms, or assigning resources too quickly, it can be detrimental to patient or client health.  AI programmed to kick ‘delinquents’ out of service programs can end up calibrated to kick many people off the program, and be considered good, even if its for what we’d consider minor infractions. Moving people from one program to another in an automated manner can drain resources, and result in clients receiving services they don’t need. These issues are among many others that can happen when people are taken out of the management and action loop.”
“This makes me think about a lot of other automated stuff,” said Hal Van Halenbaum. “Automated cars that have gotten into serious accidents a human would have avoided. AI writing tools making up stuff on the fly or lying. AI walking into walls in video games. Although I kid, I'm also serious. Intelligence is really complicated. We have to be really careful in understanding what intelligence we’re trying to make, and being sure to properly build and regulate it, before the AI we’ve tasked with policing a street walks off the boardwalk and into the ocean.”

FSCAO began in the 1280s as a group of cooperative banking firms (FSCA) in the countryside of Nouveauterra, serving farmers and family based businesses in agriculture. After acquiring a number of other city based cooperatives centered on working people and the working poor, FSCA became FSCAO (sometimes pronounced as Fis-ee-ow) in 1341. FSCAO is the largest banking institution by number of customers in Nouveauterra.
FSCAO is for the most part decentralized, with local banks owned by their customers, and only minor fees going towards the upkeep of the overarching management system. The Board of Societies, made up of one representative per participating bank, votes on company decisions, and assigns special roles, like Chair of the Board currently held by Pierre Marcel. FSCAO’s latest expansion is in partnerships with businesses to enable cash to be deposited at a participating local business, and fed back to the customer’s bank account.
FSCAO provides banking, private banking, corporate banking, and through its subsidiaries, also provides wealth management, deferred debit services, and real estate services.

The problems we solve through design have evolved over time, but our commitment to client service is unwavering.
