Forum Themes
The forum will address several key themes, including:

  1. Technology Should Serve Humanity: How can AI be guided toward supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals? We will discuss the ethical and sustainable promotion of AI that serves humanity through inclusive and responsible practices.
  2. Restructuring of Production Subjects: From Professionally Generated Content (PGC) to Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC), we will uncover opportunities for developing nations to benefit from this emerging division of labor.
  3. The Challenge of Imbalanced Employment Structures: Automation is reshaping labor markets worldwide, creating a need for retraining programs and social security measures to manage unemployment and economic imbalances.
  4. Cognitive Bias, Illusion Correction, and Fact Obfuscation: Cybersecurity, misinformation, and decision-making biases pose significant challenges in the AI era, and we will explore strategies to counteract these issues.
  5. AI Market Access, Pricing, and Revenue Models: Developing nations face barriers to market access and equitable pricing. This theme will explore strategies to improve competitiveness and transparency.
  6. Innovation, Collaboration, and Sustainable Development in the Web3 Era: Web3’s decentralized technologies offer fresh avenues for economic collaboration, and the forum will seek to establish international regulatory standards and partnerships.
  7. AI Development and Equal Access to Law: Legal systems in developing nations often suffer from inadequate resources and accessibility issues. AI can enhance judicial efficiency and expand access to justice while maintaining ethical and fair decision-making. We will explore how legal frameworks can adapt to changing technologies, uphold data privacy, and prevent algorithmic bias, all while ensuring inclusive legal services for marginalized populations.

Together, we can shape an inclusive and forward-thinking future for developing nations in the AI era.
