The program will focus on addressing the impact of AI on society and human rights, recognizing that it can only be done through a collaborative effort. SIP X2 will curate expert knowledge from various fields to make this programme worthwhile.
The program promises to provide young people with modern and relevant digital literacy and skills, exposing them to the latest developments in the AI field and preparing them for the numerous career opportunities that are available in the global digital space.
In an era where technology is rapidly transforming the way we live, work and communicate, it is crucial that the youth are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in the digital age. This program will not only empower young people with the skills they need to succeed but also help to ensure that they are aware of and can address the ethical and human rights implications of AI.
It is an exciting time for the youth as they will be able to learn, gain access to resources, and opportunities that were previously unavailable to them. This program is a step in the right direction towards creating a more inclusive and equitable digital future for all whilst preparing the nation with skilled AI experts.
