The GS Taipei Workshop 2019 with
“Promoting Human-centred Development in the Digital Age” as its
overarching theme is going to take place at the Ambassador Hotel on
January 30, 2019 in Taipei. It will be co-organized by Chung-Hua
Institute for Economic Research (CIER) and the Kiel Institute for the
World Economy (IfW).
In 2018, human-centred focus was brought
into discussions explicitly at the GS Taipei Workshop for the first
time. Aiming for shaping the future of an inclusive digital society, we
discussed about related risks and challenges faced by individuals,
firms, governments and other organizations and explored first ideas to
deal with these challenges. The upcoming Workshop in 2019 will build
upon the discussions and insights from the Workshop in 2018 and will
deepen the discussions to explore measures and solutions to promote
human-centred development in the digital age. We will learn more about
the ideas, opportunities, and potential challenges related to societies’
digital transformation towards “Society 5.0”. We will further discuss
about how to use digital technologies to overcome population ageing
challenges and about how to deal with the economic, societal as well as
ethical consequences of the development of artificial intelligence and
its application in our daily life. Both aspects are highly relevant for
the sustained and inclusive development in many countries in the world.
The GS Taipei Workshop 2019 is expected to
bring together experts from academia, business, politics and the civil
society from different countries to join the discussions and provide
their valuable insights and innovative ideas. Potential solution
proposals are expected to be derived from the speeches, addresses and
session discussions scheduled.
