There will be a number of big topics to be presented and discussed at the upcoming Innovation PNG 2023 Conference including the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is quite a new concept to countries like Papua New Guinea (PNG) in terms of using it to create innovations to address some issues faced in the country. According to PNG Advantage International Publishing Director Mr. Andrew Wilkins, one of the hot topics to be presented is Generative Artificial Intelligence like ChatGPT, which can be used to create new content, including audio, code, images, text, simulations, and videos. “We want this conference to give us an update in that area,” said Mr. Wilkins. “Artificial intelligence is going to be an enormous influence on how we develop our economies all over the world in the next ten years.” “We’re going to have experts tell you about what’s possible, what’s going on, and what the future will look like in that area.” He said the topics will be covered by overseas expert speakers in the area of technology. “We're going to be bringing in some very high-profile expert speakers from overseas, who are going to come with the global knowledge about what’s happening particularly in the area of technology, so that we can have an up to date understanding of what’s going on around the world.” He explained that the level of sophistication of using the internet is growing at an exponential level, so people must know and understand what opportunities are there for PNG. “It’s really about where technology will take us in the next five to ten years,” he added. The one-day Innovation PNG 2023 Conference will take place on November 10th at the APEC Haus, Port Moresby city.
