Technology Quotes Quotes

“The most important question a nation has to answer is if it creates the right narrative and value for its citizens. Most would agree that the best value creation is about growing the economy in a sustainable way, managing a balanced and inclusive society and making sure there are enough jobs to its citizens and well being, social positive impact and stability. This is complicated in the present world though. We live in a world that is changing at a fast pace, never seen so far in human history. We live now in a technology data driven 4.0 industry revolution - 4IR - world which is more interconnected and affected by technological innovation than ever in history. This new technology-driven world is one filled with promises but also with major challenges and risks. One of the main disruptions which is now part of our lives is the one that comes with so called 4IR, that is affecting our world in ways never seen. These ways imply a new narrative that is as challenging as it is somehow invisible, faster than ever and in many ways deeply dangerous. This narrative implies the advance of advanced digital transformation tools we use everyday, the inception of the so called Artificial Intelligence, that is creating an increasing digitisation, datification and automation of all kinds of services and industries touching the fabrics of social, economic and political with consequences that touch all parts of human and environmental life.”

“Any nation that wants to have a global voice and build value for its citizens has to nurture a digital transformation culture where government, businesses, institutions and universities work together to nurture a solid social impact driven ecosystem. The concept is anchored in the idea of the tech innovation can create new tech driven cities driven by a startup culture applied to a country and its potential for new creation of jobs and narrative.”

“Although many people, for example, believe the Mars Rover robots are champions of Artificial Intelligence, the robots do not “employ state-of-the-art AI algorithms.” Dey said he learned the distinction while collaborating with the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory dedicated to robotic exploration of the solar system. AI algorithms require extensive energy consumption to be computed — something that would quickly put the rover out of action in outer space. “On Mars, while exploring several large craters where sunlight might never reach, the rover has to commute and communicate in an optimized fashion with the least amount of external power source,” he said. “And having the state-of-the-art AI algorithm on such a robot would only drain the power source quicker.” But that doesn’t mean the rover isn’t smart in its own way. “Every ounce of the robot is optimized to perform the best at minimal cost,” he said. “So, next time, if you hear about Mars rover then be aware that it is the hard work and dedication of several intelligent researchers and engineers who had made that machine intelligent enough to do its job.”

“Contrary to popular belief, North America, and specifically the Great Lakes region, might be where metal technologies were first used by humans. Copper use emerged about 10,000 years ago. Sometime thereafter, people began to mine copper from the bedrock around Lake Superior, the remains of which can still be seen throughout the region today.”
