API Seminar Panel 2: How Responsible Technology Diffusion Can Enable a Prosperous Asia

The second panel during Asia Prosperity Initiative Seminar on Feb.27 titled “How Responsible Technology Diffusion Can Enable a Prosperous Asia.” The panel examined how technology can serve as a force for growth, resilience, and inclusion — when guided by sound governance and thoughtful implementation.

The discussion highlighted AI’s impact on productivity, connectivity, and social progress, while addressing questions around trust, governance and impact on employment. A key theme that emerged was that further diffusion of AI could lead to disruption of our approach in education, esp. tertiary education.

We thank our panelists Professor Lawrence Loh, Ms. Fanny Liao and Mr. Tim Zhang, together with moderator Ms. Han Yong Hong, for a rich and forward-looking discussion.
