What I'm reading: Digital Technologies ITP
I attended the launch of NZ's Digital Technologies Industrial Transformation Plan at Google's HQ in Auckland on Monday evening, presented by the Minister, the Hon. Ginny Anderson. I'd like to say it's a gripping read, but it is rather full of well-meaning statements and not much hard action. It's disappointing to see Artificial Intelligence almost left as an afterthought to the "Future Focus Areas." Near the end of the document, it says they will "continue exploring the merits of establishing a Centre for Data Ethics by 2025." Note, it doesn't say they will establish this centre, just explore its merits. On the whole really very disappointing that AI that looks set to transform society in unprecedented ways gets so little mention.
