Microsoft chief Sundar Pichai today gives a talk on quantum computing, artificial intelligence and the future of technology governance at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

In a recent op-ed for the Financial Times, Pichai called for AI to be regulated, with areas such as self-driving cars requiring tailored rules.

Also speaking today is Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, who explores the “role of the new industrialists” during a panel session.

Away from tech, Prince Charles will discuss the climate crisis and Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy – whose phonecall with Donald Trump is the centre of impeachment proceedings – will give a special address.

More than 800 leading companies and 103 EdTech startups will showcase hardware and software that is – or hopes to – disrupt education.

Today’s agenda includes a keynote from Microsoft that explores how emotional intelligence converges with artificial intelligence in education.

The three-day event takes place at the ExCeL exhibition centre in London, UK.

Texas Instruments posts Q4 earnings

Semiconductor maker Texas Instruments today posts its fourth-quarter earnings for 2019.

The Dallas, US-headquartered company sells its chips and integrated circuits to manufacturers around the world.

Its financial results come amid a slump in overall demand, driven largely by the US-China trade war, and increasing competition.

Analysts expect the New York Stock Exchange-listed firm to be hurt by these factors, with revenue predicted to drop by 13.5% to $3.21bn for the fourth quarter. A conference call for investors takes place at 09:30pm GMT.
