Join Asia Society Northern California for an off-the-record Executive Roundtable discussion on Data and Ethical AI in Southeast Asia with Elina Noor, Director of Political-Security Affairs and Deputy Director of the Washington, D.C. Office at the Asia Society Policy Institute. This private event is for Board, Advisory Council, Groundbreaker, and Innovator Members and will be held on Tuesday, August 30, 2022 from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. Pacific in Silicon Valley. Lunch will be served.

The event will focus on the recent launch of Elina's report Raising Standards: Data and Artificial Intelligence in Southeast Asia which maps the aspirations of five Southeast Asian countries – Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam – exploring the objectives of a data-driven environment in Southeast Asia. It shows that Southeast Asia has the opportunity to redefine inclusive development for the region by raising standards for data and AI through multi-stakeholder approaches and alternative viewpoints. Conversely, the region runs the risk of ceding decision-making to outsiders and locking in structures that are ill-suited for the region’s long-term digital future. Elina will join us from Washington, D.C.

This Executive Roundtable Program is a special benefit for our Board, Advisory Council, Groundbreaker, and Innovator Members. Learn more and become a member today: https://asiasociety.org/northern-california/join-our-community.

Space is limited. 

Venue address in Silicon Valley will be confirmed upon RSVP confirmation.
