Unlocking Pakistan's digital potential: The economic opportunities of digital...FairTechInstitute
There is a significant economic prize attached to accelerating Pakistan’s digital transformation. AlphaBeta’s study (commissioned by Google) finds that digital technologies can unlock PKR9.7 trillion (USD 59.7 billion) worth of annual economic value in Pakistan by 2030.
Key messages from the research include: there is a significant economic prize attached to accelerating Pakistan’s digital transformation; there are three areas of action required for Pakistan to fully capture its digital opportunity; and through its programmes and products, Google is making contributions to Pakistan’s digital transformation journey and supports benefits to businesses, consumers, and the broader society.
Turkey, a bridge between two great continents, with its young and connected population of 82 million, offers the right environment for startups to launch, test and go global. Here find our own Strategy Report for Turkey collaboration with @Velox Partner and @Startups.watch.
Over the last seven years, MENA and CEE have received total capital investment of more than $5 billion. We see the results with prominent exits in the regions; some of the big winners are UIPATH (CEE), Trendyol (Turkey), and Careem (MENA).
There is even more potential for significant returns to come. Check it out inside.

Cloud Readiness Index 2012 by the Asia Cloud Computing Associationaccacloud
The Cloud Readiness Index 2012 is the second iteration of this index. The CRI was designed to track the development of the necessary infrastructure and enabling environment
for cloud computing across leading Asian economies. By mapping the conditions required for successful implementation, the Asia Cloud Computing Association (ACCA) aims to identify potential bottlenecks that could slow adoption and limit the ability of Asian economies to take advantage of the cloud computing future. The Index also serves to help identify critical gaps to be addressed in the form of policy, legal and commercial cloud drivers.

With the market value of its digital economy considered the 2nd largest in ASEAN, Thailand has witnessed a digital revolution affecting processes, activities and transactions across almost every sector. Driven by the pursuit of the economic targets and vision contained within its Thailand 4.0 policy, Thailand is well on its way to achieving digital transformation. In 2018, it was estimated that approximately 17% of Thailand’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was derived from the digital economy.
The digital revolution will redefine every sector of the economy. The pace of the change, as we move to more smart digital solutions, is predicted to be comparable to the Industrial Revolution. Although we not know for sure where the Digital Revolution will take us, but it holds massive potential to transform everything we do. We must be prepared to embrace new technologies, new business models, and new possibilities as they emerge.In this paper we discuss the trends and insights that will help you make more informed decisions in the digital world in the upcoming years.

Transforming Hong Kong into a smart city: The economic opportunity of digital...FairTechInstitute
This study, conducted by AlphaBeta and commissioned by Google, examines the economic significance of digital technologies and skills in Hong Kong. This study finds that, if leveraged fully, digital technologies could create an annual economic value of HKD387 billion (USD 50 billion) by 2030. In addition, if it were to accelerate the pace of its digital skilling efforts over the next decade, workers with digital skills can contribute up to a fifth (21 percent) of Hong Kong’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2030.

The Aquamimicry Aquaculture Alliance, in cooperation with the Institution of Aquaculture Singapore and
the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, will organize the "Aquamimicry Sustainable Shrimp Farming
Workshop" during 7-11 August 2016 in Thailand (Bangkok and Hua Hin). This workshop will be attended
by participants mainly from various Asian countries (Bangladesh, Hong Kong SAR, India, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, Taiwan ROG and Vietnam), who are involved
and interested in sustainable shrimp farming practices and research. This will provide opportunities for
learning and sharing of experiences, as well as building up and strengthening the network among those
concerned about environmentally-friendly aquaculture.
On behalf of the Aquamimicry Aquaculture Alliance (AAA) I would like to cordially invite your honourable
presence in gracing our event, Aquamimicry Aquatainment, by delivering your keynote address and to
officially declare the opening of the workshop at Sheraton Resort & Spa, Hua Hin on 9th August 2016
at 9.00am, in front of the many international farmers and professionals who have travelled many miles
to listen to this capstone Thai technology of Aquamimicry Aquaculture developed by Veerasun
Prayotamornkul.
We believe through Asian Institute of Technology's scientific expertise and leadership in promoting
sustainable aquaculture development, Aquamimicry Aquaculture Alliance (AAA) with her many global
farmers' membership will continue to grow from strength to strength. The close involvement of AIT as
a Supporting Institution of AAA will contribute to· deeper scientific understanding of Aquamimicry and
the knowledge and experiences gained through this workshop will contribute to teaching materials for
universities and extension learning for the international farming community.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
