Is Vietnam the next Singapore?
/in Knowledge Base /by JANZZ.technologyVietnam hopes to achieve high-income status by 2045. The country’s vibrancy is evident by investments in innovation and technology adoption that spur an innovation-driven private sector to build resilient businesses. Vietnam had a GDP per capita of $500 (today’s dollars) in 1985 which was one of the lowest in the world, and by 2021 it had already created a couple billionaire entrepreneurs.[1]

‘So clever I don’t understand a word of what I am saying’ – AI’s potential for handling text-based data is far from unlimited
/in Knowledge Base /by JANZZ.technologyThe often-expressed fear that AI robots are on the verge of infiltrating and taking control of every aspect of our lives is admittedly understandable, given the capabilities of AI already proclaimed today: writing guest articles for newspapers, answering basic customer service queries, diagnosing medical conditions, solving long-standing scientific problems in biology and much more – if you believe the sources [1],[2]. But are these purported successes really evidence of unlimited potential? Will AI systems really be able to solve any task given enough time and data? » Read more about: ‘So clever I don’t understand a word of what I am saying’ – AI’s potential for handling text-based data is far from unlimited »
Teleworking, teletravail, teletrabajo… Who is working remotely?
