The document discusses how mobile device adoption is outpacing previous technologies and connecting more of the world. It notes that smart device adoption is growing 10x faster than the 1980s PC revolution. This high rate of adoption is enabled by factors like cheaper devices, mobile apps, cloud computing, and leapfrog technologies that allow areas to adopt modern systems without older intermediary steps. This convergence of trends is creating a vast new platform of opportunity through connectivity, information access, and new models for education and employment on a global scale.

Digital Agriculture can be defined as ICT and data ecosystems to support the development and delivery of timely, targeted (localized) information and services to make farming profitable and sustainable (socially, economically and environmentally) while delivering safe, nutritious and affordable food for ALL. Rural connectivity will be a key to providing low cost data and access to information. Digital technology will be key to increasing agriculture productivity by delivering tailored recommendations to farmers based on crop, planting date, variety sown; real time localized observed weather and projected market prices. Mobile phones also enable farmers to integrate into structured markets based on approved grades and standards. The greatest impact of Digital agriculture will have is on democratization of market pricing and compressing transaction costs. Digital agriculture will also leverage social media platforms to build human capacity. One of the best examples originating from India is Digital Green.
ICT has made a huge contribution to women's empowerment. women living in remote and rural areas are also being benefitted by ICT and they are making their contribution to society-building and development of the country.

The rise of digital financial inclusion is an important global phenomenon. Today, financial services is probably the most digitized industry, as well as the most globalized, in addition to being for at least the past two decades the single largest component of global technology spending. Financial Inclusion is a relatively new socio-economic concept in India that aims to change the position where a majority of the country’s population is unbanked. Developing country governments are exploring ways to encourage their populations to use the four key instruments of financial inclusion: payment system, credit, insurance, and investment. By creating such an ecosystem, they can help expand access to affordable financial services to the financially excluded. The emergence of new digital technology, including Fintech, can ensure financial inclusion and improve financial well-being.
Artificial Intelligence is an approach to make a computer, a robot, or a product to think about how smart humans think.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
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.

"Leapfrogging" is the notion that areas which have poorly-developed technology
or economic bases can move themselves forward rapidly through the adoption
of modern systems without going through intermediary steps (hopping over
legacy technology).
The best-known example of leapfrogging is the adoption of mobile phones in the
developing world.
It's easier and faster to put in cellular towers in rural and remote areas than to put in
land lines, and as a result, cellular use is exploding
