Tech is influencing every industry on the planet. These four speakers—and many other stellar panelists—are at forefront of movements that are about to change the way we live
From 19-20 June, a selection of leading luminaries from organisations where technology, creativity and culture overlap will gather in Bangkok for Techsauce Global Summit 2019 at the Centara Grand.
A range of diverse communities will gather for two days of discussions and networking, including social entrepreneurs, musicians, artists, filmmakers, athletes and LGBTQ activists.
Topics on the agenda include diversity and inclusion, smart cities, travel tech, blockchain, clean energy, AI, health technology and more.
Here are a few highlights among the strong programme.
1. Jeanne Lim
Who? Jeanne Lim is the CEO of Hanson Robotics Limited—creator of the world's most famous walking, talking AI creature, Sophia the Robot, and her robot sister, Little Sophia, which Lim helped co-create. She has over 25 years of business management and marketing experience in the technology industry at Danaher, Dell, Cisco-Tandberg, 3Com, as well in Silicon Valley. She was also the product and business manager for Apple in Asia Pacific, responsible for launching many of Apple’s groundbreaking products across the region.
Topics we're interested in Are robots really going to replace our jobs? And if so, do we need to put legislation and new social policies in place now? Also, whose culture takes precedence? Is it AI and robotics that has to conform to the current culture, or is it culture that has to conform to the new world of AI and robotics? Lim debates with other speakers on the key issues humanity will have to grapple with over the next two decades.
Quote this “With Little Sophia we are thrilled to provide an opportunity to empower young girls around the world by introducing Stem, coding, and AI in a fun and adventurous way. Bringing girls into this world is one of my missions.”
