YSEALI Academy Technology and Innovation Seminar: “The Digitization of Trust”
From May 30 until June 10, 2022, the Youth Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) Academy at Fullbright University Vietnam (FUV) will be organizing a Technology and Innovation Seminar on “The Digitalization of Trust”. The seminar is held to equip Southeast Asian young leaders who are interested in learning how their decisions are affected by A.I. technologies that promote trust between people and machines. The event is open to all ASEAN youth between the age of 25-35 years old. Moreover, due to the current condition, the event will be conducted online.
Since 2020, YSEALI has continued to offered quality seminars and workshops for fostering young leaders' potential and capacity to become professionals. This seminar is one of the yearly flagship seminars besides the others in Public Policy and Entrepreneurship. For over 2 weeks, the fellows will learn how A.I. technologies redefine the idea of “trust” and how they are shaping society both positively and negatively. The invited high-profile speakers and panelists will offer perspectives from two sides; the ones shaping the technology and the others who are front-liners experiencing the disruption caused by it. Thereafter, by participating in this event, the fellows will not only acquire knowledge but also abilities to assess and make decisions on rapidly developing A.I. technologies. in today's era.
A total of 35 YSEALI Academy fellows will be selected from across Southeast Asia. Once selected, all participants will be fully funded by the U.S. Department of State. At last, awards ceremony and graduation will also be conducted once all participants complete the seminars.
