BATAAN — Sa kagustuhan ng Pamahalaang Panlalawigan at ng Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) na isulong ang digital governance, isinagawa mula Lunes hanggang Miyerkules ang tatlong araw na global emerging tech summit sa Balanga city.

Sinabi ni Governor Joet S. Garcia na ang tech summit na ito “na nasa ikatlong magkakasunod na taon na ay muli na naman pong nagtipun-tipon ang mga lokal at dayuhang eksperto sa larangan ng blockchain, artificial intelligence at information technology para sa dalawang araw na Global Emerging Tech Summit na idinaos simula ngayong araw ng Lunes sa Bataan People’s Center sa pangunguna ng Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).”

Pinaliwanag ng gobernandor na “ang nasabing gawain ay bahagi po ng ating pagsusulong ng digital governance kung saan layon po nating gawing mas mabilis at transparent ang pagbibigay ng serbisyo publiko gamit ang makabagong teknolohiya

Nagpaabot din ng pasasalamat ang gobernador kay Assistant Majority Floor Leader Cong. Brian Poe Llamanzares na bukod sa nagsilbing keynote speaker sa nasabing Summit ay naglahad din ng suporta ng Kongreso para palakasin ang digital infrastructure at innovation ecosystem ng buong bansa sa pamamagitan ng blockchain.

Ayon sa mga eksperto, ang “blockchain is a decentralized, distributed, digital ledger that securely records transactions across a network of computers. Information is stored in blocks that are cryptographically linked together in a continuous, chronological ‘chain.’ This structure makes the records transparent, immutable, and resistant to tampering.”

Ayon din sa mga experts, ang “Artificial intelligence (AI) is the development of computer systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. It is a broad field that includes technologies like machine learning and natural language processing, and its applications range from everyday tools like virtual assistants and recommendation engines to advanced uses in healthcare, research, and autonomous systems like self-driving cars. Recent advancements are driven by increases in computing power and data, but AI also presents ethical challenges like bias, misuse, and data privacy. “
