2019 International Innovation Scorecard

What did Thailand do right?

Thailand has relatively low corporate and individual marginal tax rates and ranks well above similarly-sized countries in the ease of starting a business. Also, the nation boasts access to improved drinking water sources for the vast majority of its population.

What can Thailand do better?

Thailand could lay legal groundwork and support self-driving vehicle development, an area where the country currently lags behind almost every other nation on the Scorecard. The country can increase its proportion of highly-skilled workers and dramatically increase its R&D spending, which is currently just 0.60 percent of its GDP.

AI in 2019

2018 has been an eventful year for AI to say the least! We've seen advances in generative models, the AlphaGo victory, several data breach scandals, and so much more. I'm going to briefly review AI in 2018 before giving 10 predictions on where the space is going in 2019. Prepare yourself, my predictions range from more Kubernetes infused ML pipelines to the first business use case of generative modeling of 3D worlds. Happy New Year and enjoy!

At the seminar, the authors of the report from the World Bank Group will present the key findings of the World Bank Group’s latest report, “ Resurgent East Asia: Navigating a Changing World”. The report discusses how middle income countries in East Asia will need to adapt their development models to support their growth and development in the face of new global challenges such as changes in global trade patterns and rapid technological shifts and of country-specific circumstances. After the report presentation, discussants will discuss the implications for Thailand and the region.

Splicing and Dicing DNA: Genome Engineering and the CRISPR Revolution

CRISPR: It’s the powerful gene editing technology transforming biomedical research. Fast, cheap and easy to use, it allows scientists to rewrite the DNA in just about any organism—including humans—with tests on human embryos already underway. The technique’s potential to radically reshape everything from disease prevention to the future of human evolution has driven explosive progress and heated debate. Join the world’s CRISPR pioneers to learn about the enormous possibilities and ethical challenges as we stand on the threshold of a brave new world of manipulating life’s fundamental code.
