As a non-profit and non-government association that spans 10 countries and diverse geographies, united by a common goal to harness technology to drive ASEAN's progress as an economic bloc, and to improve the standard of living of its citizens, we are heartened by the continuous support of the ASEAN Secretariat since our inception. We are grateful to the forum's host country, the Philippines, for the gracious and unreserved partnership, and we are overwhelmed by the collaboration from supporting ASEAN countries' participants and the generous sponsorship from the industries, as we look forward to creating a sustainable digital future and leading the 'Smart ASEAN' of tomorrow through our forum," said Mr Ng Hoo Ming, President of ACIOA.
"We are seeing a stronger economy worldwide as more businesses and industries leverage global digitalisation. I am excited to discuss and hear how the adoption of AI and robotics in the workforce can present both opportunities and challenges, not just in the Philippines, but all over ASEAN," said Jonathan C. Pineda, OIC Senior Vice President & Chief Information Officer, Government Service Insurance System, GSIS Philippines.
Benjamin Goh, Senior Vice President, Deep Cybersecurity Capabilities, ST Engineering, stated, "There is certainly an urgent need for advanced AI-driven defences against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. As technology rapidly evolves, so do the tactics of cyber adversaries, making it crucial for us to stay ahead with cutting-edge solutions."
