<p>“The Japanese market is a consistent market that doesn't ebb or flow a lot in times of higher supply and lower prices,” said <strong>Kent Kupfner, executive vice president of Montana Wheat and Barley Committee</strong>, the producer-funded checkoff organization for wheat and barley growers in the state.</p>
<p>“Economically speaking, (Japanese investors) have had a major impact on the Montana wheat and barley industry. They invested in shuttle-loading capability elevators. Those facilities can load 110 car trains in 15 hours or less. They're efficient and they can handle grain in a very efficient manner,” Kupfner added.</p>
<p>The Japanese partnership with Montana’s agricultural industry has also yielded collaborations between the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee and Montana State University (MSU) for the research and development of wheat varieties specifically for the Japanese market.</p>
<p>“We're very aware of the quality demands and use characteristics that the Japanese flour menu industry wants to see. Our breeders are well aware of the qualities that they need to breed into their varieties, whether it’s noodle making or specific end use like specialty breads. Collaboration between Montana Wheat and Barley and Montana State University research centers is also very important. Roughly half our budget goes directly to MSU to fund research for wheat varieties,” Kupfner said.</p>

<p>Under normal circumstances, it takes several years to develop, test and release a new drug. The Covid-19 pandemic compressed the usual process to less than a year. Among the most widely-used vaccines were results of transnational partnerships: BioNTech-Pfizer (German and American), Oxford-AstraZeneca (British and Swedish), and Sanofi-GSK (French and British).</p>
<p>Apart from this example of international cooperation in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, the world has witnessed remarkable advancements in areas like gene editing, regenerative medicine, precision medicine, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies for various diseases including cancer, rare genetic disorders, and infectious diseases.</p>

<figcaption class="image-caption">Telemedicine is becoming one of the fastest-growing sectors in healthcare.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>With the rapid advance of technology, healthcare has moved beyond the clinic and hospital. Today, the emerging digital health sector has greatly improved healthcare delivery, patient outcomes, and efficiency through telemedicine, health apps, wearable devices, and remote patient monitoring.</p>
<p>In the United States, Japan-owned <a href="https://www.gmipost.com/special-feature/99/us-midwest-2022/illinois/545222/omron-keeping-the-heart-of-the-midwest-beating.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Omron Healthcare launched VitalSight™</a>, a remote patient monitoring (RPM) product to manage hypertension, facilitate closer patient-to-physician communication, and improve data sharing to improve treatment engagement and health outcomes. Developed before the pandemic, VitalSight™ addresses the problem of hypertension, which afflicts 1 billion adults around the world, of which 166 million are in the United States.</p>
<p>In Singapore, the company set up the HeartVoice Telehealth platform, which allows doctors to provide telemedicine consultations and remote health monitoring programs to their patients to treat acute and chronic conditions. It plans to expand the platform across the region.</p>
<p>Genomics has also made its own breakthroughs, which allow for a clearer understanding of genetic factors in diseases and individualized treatment approaches. Precision medicine, based on genomic data, is increasingly making progress in developing and providing personalized therapies and diagnostics.</p>
<p>Leading the efforts in this field, the <a href="https://www.gmipost.com/article/371949/stanford-center-for-definitive-and-curative-medicine-aims-to-cure-the-incurable.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stanford Center for Definitive and Curative Medicine (CDCM</a>) is on a mission “to cure patients with currently incurable diseases through the development of innovative cell- and gene-based therapies (CGT).”</p>
<p>Since it was launched in 2017, the CDCM has been working on around 24 projects in the discovery, pre-clinical, and early trial phases.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the healthcare services sector has also benefitted from IT solutions for revenue cycle management, medical billing, consulting, and outsourcing of non-core functions.</p>
<p>In Serbia, <a href="https://www.gmipost.com/article/545322/takeda-celebrates-a-decade-of-broadening-healthcare-access-in-serbia.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Japanese pharmaceutical giant Takeda</a> has worked closely with the public and private sectors over the past decade to establish the country’s first telemedicine and telehealth service.</p>
<p>To meet the ever-changing demands of patients, doctors and caregivers, the healthcare sector will deliver even better results and further improve operational efficiencies with more international partnerships.</p>',

<figcaption class="image-caption">Japanese universities have realized they need to look abroad if they are to thrive in the long term.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>And with this trend going global, the competition is tough, particularly for Japan, with its language barrier and graying population. However, Japanese schools and universities have stepped up their strategies to boost international enrollment and strengthen partnerships around the world.</p>
<p>Through various exchange programs, Japanese and international students benefit from exposure to different academic environments and cultures, thereby broadening their view of the world. In a similar way, faculty members get to collaborate with international colleagues on research projects, which promotes the sharing of knowledge and ideas.</p>
<p>To increase their appeal to international students, more Japanese universities are embracing English as a language of instruction. They now offer more English-taught courses, provide language support services, and hire non-Japanese faculty. By improving English proficiency among students, teachers and staff, these universities are better equipped to engage with the global academic community.</p>
<p>Japanese universities have also increased investment in global collaborations. They have sought partnerships with renowned institutions abroad to undertake joint research projects and establish international research centers. These collaborations not only enhance the quality and impact of research but also foster an environment of diversity and innovation.</p>
<p>On another level, Japanese universities have capitalized on technology to enhance global engagement. Online learning platforms and virtual exchange programs have allowed students and faculty to connect with their counterparts worldwide, facilitating important academic interactions despite geographical barriers.</p>',

<figcaption class="image-caption">Confucian values are the bedrock of the Japanese education system.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>Japanese learn respect for authority at a very early age. In families and in schools, children are made aware of a hierarchical structure that must be obeyed. And, this collective observance of obedience results in self-discipline, which leads to an orderly community. In Japan and other parts of Asia where Confucianism runs deeply, the good of the community is valued over the benefit of an individual.</p>
<p>On the other hand, Confucianism also emphasizes the individual pursuit of knowledge. This idea gave birth to meritocracy in government. Imperial China’s scholars and bureaucrats could advance their careers through individual initiative, rather than an affinity to authority.</p>
<p>In present-day Japan, this is evident in the intense pressure to pass nationwide university entrance tests and secure a highly coveted place in one of the country’s leading universities. Following their studies, graduates live out that pursuit of knowledge by excelling in their chosen careers and making valuable contributions to society.</p>
<p>While more schools in Japan have incorporated some Western values, like self-expression and creativity, the Japanese education system remains deeply rooted in the age-old principles of respect for authority, the collective good and continuous improvement.</p>',

<p>Alarm levels were raised when Geoffrey Hinton, a 75-year-old British-Canadian scientist and a winner of the Turing Award (dubbed the Nobel Prize of computing), resigned from Google in March after more than a decade of leading AI research in the Silicon Valley-based company.</p>
<p>“I decided to shout fire. I don’t know what to do about it or which way to run,” Hinton, widely referred to as the Godfather of AI, told students at King’s College in Cambridge University. And in <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/01/technology/ai-google-chatbot-engineer-quits-hinton.html">a post-resignation interview with The New York Times</a>, he expressed some regret about his life’s work.</p>
<p>Amid the frenetic pace of technological innovation and the proliferation of intentional disinformation, governments around the world realize the need for clear rules and a coordinated global response to the unstoppable rise of AI.</p>
<p>The biggest issues surrounding AI:</p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li>Ethical and responsible use</li>
<li>Education and workforce development</li>
<li>Collaborative research and innovation</li>
<li>Regulatory frameworks</li>
<li>International cooperation:</li>
<li>Truth and fairness</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Because of its serious and wide-ranging implications on our everyday lives, several nations have set out guidelines and principles to ensure AI is deployed in a manner that respects human rights, privacy, and fairness.</p>
<p>In 2016, the European Union passed the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which enforces strict rules on data protection and transparency, thereby addressing concerns related to privacy. Meanwhile, the United States established the National AI Research Resource Task Force in 2020 to promote responsible AI research and development.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, to address the growing demand for AI expertise, countries have begun investing in education and workforce development initiatives. Governments are forming partnerships with schools and the private sector to offer AI-related courses, certifications, and training programs. By equipping their citizens with the necessary skills, countries want to have a workforce ready for an AI-driven future.</p>
<p>In Canada, the Vector Institute works closely with universities and industry partners to foster AI research and develop talent; while China has implemented nationwide AI education programs to nurture skilled professionals.</p>
<p>Recognizing that the challenges posed by AI exist on a global scale, countries are engaging in collaborative research and innovation efforts.</p>

<figcaption class="image-caption">Among the many multilateral efforts to keep AI secure and benign, the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence was first proposed by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron during the G7 Leaders' Summit in La Malbaie in June 2018.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>A three-year-old initiative of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron, the <a href="https://gpai.ai/">Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI)</a> addresses shared concerns, promotes responsible AI development, and facilitates information sharing. By pooling their resources and expertise, members can collectively tackle complex issues like bias and accountability.</p>
<p>As of 2023, GPAI has 29 members: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, the Republic of Korea, Senegal, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Türkiye, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union.</p>
<p>On the domestic front, individual countries are starting to establish regulatory frameworks to govern AI development and deployment. While the strategies may vary, every country knows they must strike a balance between innovation and safety.</p>
<p>The United Kingdom is adopting sector-specific regulations, such as those for autonomous vehicles; while others, like Singapore, are implementing comprehensive frameworks that cover various AI applications.</p>
<p>Given the nature of the challenges, countries recognize the importance of international cooperation. For instance, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has developed the <a href="https://oecd.ai/en/ai-principles">OECD Principles on AI</a> to guide countries in shaping national strategies. And during an official visit to Washington DC earlier this month, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called for a global summit on AI safety later this year.</p>
<p>Among the more immediate concerns of technology experts is engineered bias via AI, which is now capable of generating hard-to-detect imitations of text, images and voice that have the potential of destabilizing disinformation during elections.</p>
<p>Over the past year, the chatbot phenomenon has also sparked serious worries as the number of users of ChatGPT reached 100 million within just two months of its launch.</p>
<p>In this new incarnation of man vs. machine, the question is: Who will be in control?</p>',

<p>Established in 2005, LPU has shattered conventions by making "AI & AI Ethics" a mandatory subject for all first-year undergraduate students.</p>
<p>“I'm a big believer that AI will substantially transform humans for the better,” LPU Vice Chancellor of LPU Preeti Bajaj, who believes that this cutting-edge technology is capable of advancing human existence.</p>
<p>Firm in its commitment, LPU has introduced the groundbreaking “AI & AI Ethics” course across all of its 155-plus graduate and masters programs.</p>
<p>Asked about the decision to embrace AI amid the serious concerns expressed by some experts, Bajaj stressed, “Not only is AI technology already here, but it is also continuously and rapidly changing entire industries and services, whether it’s in business, finance, agriculture, engineering, or even sports and social sciences.”</p>
<p>“We can’t stop humans from innovating, so we’d rather build our students’ skills on how to master new technologies and more importantly, teach them how to use these technologies in an ethical manner,” she added.</p>
<p>Bajaj also said more than 30% of LPU's ongoing research projects are AI-based, a testament to the school’s unwavering commitment to spearheading innovation.</p>
<p>Bajaj, a doctor in electronics engineering with 32 years of experience, underscored the school’s commitment to training the workforce of the future and meeting the evolving demands of the world while recognizing that humans will remain indispensable to shaping the future.</p>
<p>“AI can never replace critical thinking. We need to teach our students how to grab these new opportunities and work closely with them to build better industries,” she said.</p>',

<figcaption class="image-caption">New Mexico is gearing up for a greener energy future with smart grids and more electric vehicle charging stations.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>“The New Mexico Department of Transportation didn't own a single electric vehicle in its fleet for years. It had no EV (electric vehicle) charging infrastructure at any of the facilities it owns across the state. Now, New Mexico is known as the first state to submit a NEVI plan, or National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan,” said Joseph De La Rosa, Special Projects Chief for the New Mexico Department of Transportation and the New Mexico Economic Development Department.</p>
<p>“New Mexico has signed an agreement with Colorado, Utah and Washington to partner in The Western Interstate Hydrogen Hub, WISHH. We’re working on proposals for the U.S. Department of Transportation to create hydrogen fuel corridors. New Mexico is also going to have the largest wind farm and grid project, the SunZia Project, which will provide power to the West Coast,” De La Rosa added. </p>
<p>In a city destined to find new international fame with the upcoming release of the film “Oppenheimer,” which chronicles the birth of the Nuclear Age, Los Alamos Utilities has taken up the challenge of finding both short-term and long-term renewable energy solutions.</p>
<p>“We just closed a coal fire plant and are trying to find replacement electric generation that's renewable. We're in the Small Modular Reactor project, but those are long-term projects that take time to develop. Our short-term goal is to find renewable resources – wind, solar, and battery – that cannot yet provide multiple days of stored energy. Our biggest challenge right now is exploring opportunities for long-term electricity storage,” said Los Alamos Utilities Manager Philo Shelton.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, at the University of New Mexico, a research team led by Prof. Manel Martínez-Ramón of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is developing an algorithm that will help electrical grids use energy more efficiently.</p>
<p>The project is a part of the New Mexico EPSCoR Smart Grid Center grant, funded by the National Science Foundation. The grant will involve the establishment of “a novel, interdisciplinary research center, the NM SMART Grid Center, which is pursuing next-generation electric power production and delivery through the creation of a SMART electric grid (one that is Sustainable, Modular, Adaptive, Resilient, and Transactive),” according to the EPSCoR website.</p>
<p>The smart grid that the EPSCoR project is developing will use artificial intelligence to automatically adjust energy storage based on how much energy will likely be needed under specific conditions. Weather is a very important factor in these decisions.</p>
<p>“There are several articles that show that temperature has a strong correlation with energy consumption since the utilities that consume most of the energy in the house are temperature regulators,” said UNM Graduate Research Assistant Nestor Pereira.</p>
<p>To help smart grids predict energy needs accurately, Martínez-Ramón’s team is devising an algorithm that will tell a smart grid what weather and power load data on which to base its decisions on any given day.</p>',

<figcaption class="image-caption">More schools in Japan are adopting project-based instruction because it encourages collaboration, creativity and critical thinking.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>One key aspect in this change is the integration of project-based learning in classrooms. Rather than rely solely on textbooks and lectures, students are encouraged to engage in hands-on projects and collaborative activities. This approach will empower students to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios, improve problem-solving abilities and nurture critical thinking in their chosen fields.</p>
<p>While art, music and drama classes will encourage creativity, critical thinking and self-expression, courses in philosophy and ethics will cultivate analytical skills and a strong sense of ethics.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, technology has played a larger role in the classroom. More digital tools and online resources provide students with access to a vast amount of information and interactive materials.</p>
<p>By adopting these new methods, Japan wants to teach its students how to thrive in the rapidly changing world and shape the next generation of innovators and leaders.</p>',

<figcaption class="image-caption">Japanese schools place a lot of value in organizing school-wide festivals and sports events for their ability to create a sense of belonging and build self-confidence.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>With six years of elementary education, followed by three years each in both junior and senior high school, Japanese students have high standards to live up to, grades-wise and values-wise.</p>
<p>Uniforms are mandatory in nearly all schools in Japan as they instill discipline, foster a sense of discipline and minimize any obvious socio-economic disparity among students. These uniforms typically consist of a blazer or sailor-style uniform for girls and a suit or <em>gakuran</em> for boys.</p>
<p>Schools also organize <em>bukatsu, </em>or clubs. Students are encouraged to join such clubs, which cater to a wide range of interests, such as sports, music, art and science. By participating in extracurricular activities, students get a chance to discover their talent, nurture them, cultivate teamwork, and forge deep friendships.</p>
<p>Another feature of Japanese schools is the <em>undokai</em>, or festival, which are annual events wherein students get to show off their talents and achievements. A highlight of the entire community, these events typically feature athletic competitions, recitals, and various cultural activities.</p>
<p>It is no wonder Japanese schools produce well-rounded individuals that excel not only in the classroom, but also in the field and on the stage.</p>',

<figcaption class="image-caption">Reitaku University President Suminori Tokunaga</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>The university believes that a well-rounded education must go beyond the acquisition of knowledge and skills; it must also equip students with a strong moral compass.</p>
<p>“The university’s founding spirit is deeply rooted in moralogy. This can be summarized by the five principles: precedence of duty, belief in a divine being, ortholinon (the line of succession of one’s benefactors), self-renunciation, human enlightenment and salvation,” said President Suminori Tokunaga.</p>
<p>Through this all-encompassing methodology, Reitaku University hopes to produce students that possess intellectual prowess as well as exercise moral responsibility.</p>
<p>The university also embraces internationalization as a core element of its identity as it recognizes the value of a global perspective in our interconnected world. Through an array of international programs, such as student exchanges, joint research ventures, and collaborations with universities worldwide, it has created a thriving international community on campus.</p>
<p>“The university received high evaluations from overseas universities for our on-campus student dormitories and Japanese language education,” said Tokunaga, explaining that facilities for international students have been improved despite a decline in enrollment due to the pandemic.</p>
<p>“We also added an online Japanese language education system to enable prospective international students to learn Japanese in their respective countries prior to enrollment,” he added.</p>
<p>Tokunaga is confident that Reitaku University will continue producing principled global leaders by encouraging close interaction between faculty and students and by nurturing an international environment.</p>

<figcaption class="image-caption">Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has presided over a nation predicted to become the next economic superpower.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>Invest India, the most awarded investment promotion agency in the world, breaks down why many foreign businesses are placing their bets in the South Asian nation.</p>
<p><strong>India is one of the world's fastest-growing economies</strong></p>
<p>Comparing India’s FDI inflows from 2000 to 2021, the foreign investments coming into the South Asian nation has increased 20 times. The latest International Monetary Fund (IMF) report also shows that India’s economy is projected to grow at 5.9% this year, or 271% higher than the U.S.’ projected growth rate.</p>
<p><strong>India is set to surpass China to become the world’s most populous nation</strong></p>
<p>The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in its "State of World Population Report” said India will have around 2.9 million people more than China this year. The same report also showed that India has the world's largest number of people between the ages of 15 and 24.</p>
<p>International management consultancy firm Mckinsey & Company supports the numbers in a report, stating that: “One in every five Gen Z-ers in the world lives in India.” Whether as a consumer base or source of talent, India’s large youth population presents an enormous growth opportunity for both domestic and international businesses.</p>
<p><strong>World-class infrastructure</strong></p>
<p>India's robust population and economy have paved the way for major developments in the country’s infrastructure. With the goal of making it as easy and efficient as possible to do business in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to spend a whopping 1.7% of India’s GDP on transport infrastructure this 2023 — around twice the amount spent in America and most European countries. This includes new bridges, road transport and highways, industrial parks, and multipurpose towers.</p>
<p>According to India’s Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance and India Investment Grid, India’s commitment to an enhanced and improved infrastructure program will drive economic growth, foreign investment interest, and sectoral competitiveness.</p>
<p><strong>Investor-friendly policies and benefits. </strong></p>
<p>The Indian government has laid out new economic policies that make the country more attractive to foreign investors. Depending on the state and industrial sector, India offers foreign tax deductions, grants, and rebates. It has also lifted prohibitions on full foreign ownership of certain businesses in some sectors.</p>
<p>With India becoming a major global hub for FDIs, it seems like Prime Minister Modi’s vision of turning the South Asian nation into a $5 trillion economy by 2025 is right on track.</p>

<figcaption class="image-caption">Tenstorrent CEO Jim Keller (Photo source: Tenstorrent)</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>Headquartered in Toronto, Tenstorrent has offices in Austin, Texas and Santa Clara, California, as well as in Belgrade, Tokyo, Bangalore, and Seoul. The company claims to be developing AI processors that perform as efficiently as Nvidia's AI GPUs but at a lower cost.</p>
<p>At present, Nvidia is the global market leader when it comes to AI chips. Its AI accelerators command between 70% and 95% of the global market share, according to CNBC.</p>
<p>Keller also said in the interview that Tenstorrent hopes to sell its second-generation multipurpose AI chip by the end of this year.</p>
<p>According to Keller, Tenstorrent can achieve its objective because it does not use high-bandwidth memory (HBM), a popular type of advanced memory chip capable of transferring large amounts of data quickly. HBM is a vital component for generative AI chips and has played a significant role in the success of Nvidia's offerings.</p>
<p>But Keller pointed out that HBM was also one of the culprits behind the massive energy consumption and high prices of AI chips.</p>
<p>"Even the people that use HBM struggle with the cost of it, [and] the design time to build it,” he said.</p>
<p>By doing away with HBM, Tenstorrent will design a chip that can replace both GPUs and HBMs in some areas of AI development, adding that its new product will be "as cost-effective as possible".</p>',

<p>ITOCHU outbid other parties interested in the Integrated Development Project for Shalun Smart Green Energy Science City located in Tainan. The early-stage contract, according to Nikkei Asia, is worth around $332,000 (10.8 million New Taiwan dollars).</p>
<p>According to ITOCHU, the goal is to test its AI systems on a trial basis by the end of October. This is the first time the trading house has officially participated in an overseas smart city project.</p>
<p>The Taiwanese government also announced plans to earmark an additional $306.9 million (or 10 billion NTD) to develop the country’s artificial intelligence (AI) industry. In line with this goal, ITOCHU will collaborate with various Taiwanese partners, including IT company Accton Technology and National Cheng Kung University.</p>
<p>Home to the world's largest semiconductor maker, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Taiwan has a global market share of 61.7%. CNN estimates that TSMC produces 90% of the world's super-advanced semiconductor chips, which are used to power everything from smartphones to artificial intelligence applications.</p>',

</figure>
<p>Wafer testing is part of the manufacturing process wherein all individual integrated circuits are checked for functional defects through special test patterns.</p>
<p>According to Melexis, its expansion in Malaysia is a strategic move to streamline logistics and reduce its ecological footprint. Additionally, it selected Kuching because of its diverse, multilingual, entrepreneurial and highly skilled workforce.</p>
<p><strong>Melexis CEO Marc Biron </strong>said, “With an investment of 70 million euros, this opening underscores the ambition of Melexis and will ensure future growth. With Melexis, we are at the forefront of innovation, and this opening will support us in the markets that we serve.”</p>
<p>The new four-storey building, a collaboration of award-winning Belgian architect Sebastian Mortelmans and local architectural firm DNA, covers a ground surface of 4,500 sq. m., making it the company’s largest wafer testing site worldwide. The modern design evokes local longhouse architecture, incorporates advanced energy-saving systems, like a solar installation that can generate 30.000 kWh per month, and minimizes its environmental impact.</p>
<p>“Melexis has made the right choice to invest in Sarawak. With political stability, Sarawak is business-friendly and welcomes investments that can create mutual benefits. The Sarawak government has always been very supportive of investors both foreign and domestic. It is among the most preferred destinations for investment in Malaysia,” <strong>Sarawak’s Ministry of International Trade, Industry and Investment </strong>said in a statement<strong>.</strong></p>
<p>“Sarawak possesses many comparative advantages for businesses to grow and prosper such as strategic location, availability of green energy, talented workforce, and suitable land for industrial activities,” the statement also said.</p>',

<p>“Congratulations to Virginia on being named America’s Top State for Business in 2024 by CNBC, a record six times achieving that designation. I know that Virginia succeeds because of our shared belief that collaboration and innovation yield great results for our businesses and their employees,” said <strong>Fairfax County Economic Development Authority President and CEO Victor Hoskins</strong>.</p>
<p>Virginia ranks in the top half or better in each of the study’s 10 categories this year, “a rare feat,” noted CNBC. The state landed in the top 10 in four additional categories: infrastructure (3rd), business friendliness (5th), access to capital (8th) and workforce (9th).</p>
<p>For the first time, CNBC counted infrastructure (including the availability of shovel-ready sites) as the most important component for businesses when deciding on investment and cited the Virginia Business Ready Sites Program, as well as its world-class port, rail, roadway, and air transportation ecosystem as major contributors to the recognition.</p>
<p>CNBC’s annual ranking measures all 50 states on 128 different metrics in 10 key categories of competitiveness. North Carolina ranked second on the list, followed by Texas, Georgia and Florida.</p>
<p>Regarding Virginia’s economic relations with Japan, over $32.5 billion in capital investment has been made by Japanese companies in the last 5 years, according to the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, which also reports that Japanese companies employ more than 15,2000 people in the state.</p>',

<p>K Health said in the same statement that it had been developing its own AI technology for more than seven years. Today, it can provide 24/7 virtual primary care solutions to millions of people in the United States.</p>
<p>The K Health platform includes clinical-grade medical chat and AI predictive models based on large datasets to help physicians optimize diagnosis and treatment and focus on patient care.</p>
<p>Instead of doctors taking patients through lengthy procedures and manually piecing together their medical history from electronic medical records, K Health allows healthcare providers to engage more quickly and closely with patients by giving them a complete medical chart with patient insights straight from the app.</p>
<p>According to K Health, this new model of care delivery achieves dramatically higher quality of care at lower costs compared to traditional primary care.</p>
<p>“K Health solves the need to make primary care visits highly personalized by giving doctors AI superpowers that enable them to practice at the top of their license. Our primary care platform offers a concierge medical experience with an assigned provider and 24/7 access to care,” explained<strong> K Health founder and CEO Allon Bloch.</strong></p>
<p>“When partnered with leading health systems, this model creates significant benefits to access, clinical outcomes, and patient experience. All you need to get care is your health insurance, a stark contrast to concierge medicine services that typically cost thousands of dollars,” Bloch added.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Claure Group</strong> <strong>Founder and CEO Marcelo Claure </strong>said: As I invest in the AI landscape, I have found it incredibly difficult to discover companies making tangible, real-world progress with AI. K Health is the first company I've seen successfully using AI to impact millions of lives. They are addressing some of healthcare's greatest challenges by providing accessibility to faster, higher-quality, lower-cost care on a large scale."</p>',

<figcaption class="image-caption">Key representatives of NUH during the launch of the National University Centre for Trauma (Photo source: Singapore's National University Hospital)</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>According to the NUH, the center will use a code system to reduce the time between admission to the emergency department and the transfer to an operating theatre. Code Trauma involves the mobilization of all essential staff, including emergency physicians, nurses, surgeons, and anesthesiologists, to accelerate decision-making and response for patients with polytrauma or multiple injuries.</p>
<p>“The National University Centre for Trauma represents decades of efforts in refining our trauma care expertise for our injured patients to return to their lives and achieve their dreams. It also aims to prevent trauma from occurring in the first place with data-driven injury prevention efforts,” said <strong>National University Centre for Trauma Director Raj Menon.</strong></p>
<p>In line with this, the hospital has rolled out a multi-disciplinary clinic that provides services for recovering trauma patients and conducts meetings to enhance care, rehabilitation, and psychosocial recovery pathways.</p>
<p>Today, NUH has over 1,200 beds and serves more than 1 million patients a year with over 50 medical, surgical, and dental specialties. NUH is the only public and not-for-profit hospital in Singapore that provides care for adults, women and children under one roof, including the country’s only pediatric kidney and liver transplant program.</p>',

<p>Alarm levels were raised when Geoffrey Hinton, a 75-year-old British-Canadian scientist and a winner of the Turing Award (dubbed the Nobel Prize of computing), resigned from Google in March after more than a decade of leading AI research in the Silicon Valley-based company.</p>
<p>“I decided to shout fire. I don’t know what to do about it or which way to run,” Hinton, widely referred to as the Godfather of AI, told students at King’s College in Cambridge University. And in <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/01/technology/ai-google-chatbot-engineer-quits-hinton.html">a post-resignation interview with The New York Times</a>, he expressed some regret about his life’s work.</p>
<p>Amid the frenetic pace of technological innovation and the proliferation of intentional disinformation, governments around the world realize the need for clear rules and a coordinated global response to the unstoppable rise of AI.</p>
<p>The biggest issues surrounding AI:</p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li>Ethical and responsible use</li>
<li>Education and workforce development</li>
<li>Collaborative research and innovation</li>
<li>Regulatory frameworks</li>
<li>International cooperation:</li>
<li>Truth and fairness</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Because of its serious and wide-ranging implications on our everyday lives, several nations have set out guidelines and principles to ensure AI is deployed in a manner that respects human rights, privacy, and fairness.</p>
<p>In 2016, the European Union passed the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which enforces strict rules on data protection and transparency, thereby addressing concerns related to privacy. Meanwhile, the United States established the National AI Research Resource Task Force in 2020 to promote responsible AI research and development.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, to address the growing demand for AI expertise, countries have begun investing in education and workforce development initiatives. Governments are forming partnerships with schools and the private sector to offer AI-related courses, certifications, and training programs. By equipping their citizens with the necessary skills, countries want to have a workforce ready for an AI-driven future.</p>
<p>In Canada, the Vector Institute works closely with universities and industry partners to foster AI research and develop talent; while China has implemented nationwide AI education programs to nurture skilled professionals.</p>
<p>Recognizing that the challenges posed by AI exist on a global scale, countries are engaging in collaborative research and innovation efforts.</p>

<figcaption class="image-caption">Among the many multilateral efforts to keep AI secure and benign, the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence was first proposed by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron during the G7 Leaders' Summit in La Malbaie in June 2018.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>A three-year-old initiative of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron, the <a href="https://gpai.ai/">Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI)</a> addresses shared concerns, promotes responsible AI development, and facilitates information sharing. By pooling their resources and expertise, members can collectively tackle complex issues like bias and accountability.</p>
<p>As of 2023, GPAI has 29 members: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, the Republic of Korea, Senegal, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Türkiye, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union.</p>
<p>On the domestic front, individual countries are starting to establish regulatory frameworks to govern AI development and deployment. While the strategies may vary, every country knows they must strike a balance between innovation and safety.</p>
<p>The United Kingdom is adopting sector-specific regulations, such as those for autonomous vehicles; while others, like Singapore, are implementing comprehensive frameworks that cover various AI applications.</p>
<p>Given the nature of the challenges, countries recognize the importance of international cooperation. For instance, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has developed the <a href="https://oecd.ai/en/ai-principles">OECD Principles on AI</a> to guide countries in shaping national strategies. And during an official visit to Washington DC earlier this month, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called for a global summit on AI safety later this year.</p>
<p>Among the more immediate concerns of technology experts is engineered bias via AI, which is now capable of generating hard-to-detect imitations of text, images and voice that have the potential of destabilizing disinformation during elections.</p>
<p>Over the past year, the chatbot phenomenon has also sparked serious worries as the number of users of ChatGPT reached 100 million within just two months of its launch.</p>
<p>In this new incarnation of man vs. machine, the question is: Who will be in control?</p>',

<p>“The Japanese market is a consistent market that doesn't ebb or flow a lot in times of higher supply and lower prices,” said <strong>Kent Kupfner, executive vice president of Montana Wheat and Barley Committee</strong>, the producer-funded checkoff organization for wheat and barley growers in the state.</p>
<p>“Economically speaking, (Japanese investors) have had a major impact on the Montana wheat and barley industry. They invested in shuttle-loading capability elevators. Those facilities can load 110 car trains in 15 hours or less. They're efficient and they can handle grain in a very efficient manner,” Kupfner added.</p>
<p>The Japanese partnership with Montana’s agricultural industry has also yielded collaborations between the Montana Wheat and Barley Committee and Montana State University (MSU) for the research and development of wheat varieties specifically for the Japanese market.</p>
<p>“We're very aware of the quality demands and use characteristics that the Japanese flour menu industry wants to see. Our breeders are well aware of the qualities that they need to breed into their varieties, whether it’s noodle making or specific end use like specialty breads. Collaboration between Montana Wheat and Barley and Montana State University research centers is also very important. Roughly half our budget goes directly to MSU to fund research for wheat varieties,” Kupfner said.</p>

<figcaption class="image-caption">Telemedicine is becoming one of the fastest-growing sectors in healthcare.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>With the rapid advance of technology, healthcare has moved beyond the clinic and hospital. Today, the emerging digital health sector has greatly improved healthcare delivery, patient outcomes, and efficiency through telemedicine, health apps, wearable devices, and remote patient monitoring.</p>
<p>In the United States, Japan-owned <a href="https://www.gmipost.com/special-feature/99/us-midwest-2022/illinois/545222/omron-keeping-the-heart-of-the-midwest-beating.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Omron Healthcare launched VitalSight™</a>, a remote patient monitoring (RPM) product to manage hypertension, facilitate closer patient-to-physician communication, and improve data sharing to improve treatment engagement and health outcomes. Developed before the pandemic, VitalSight™ addresses the problem of hypertension, which afflicts 1 billion adults around the world, of which 166 million are in the United States.</p>
<p>In Singapore, the company set up the HeartVoice Telehealth platform, which allows doctors to provide telemedicine consultations and remote health monitoring programs to their patients to treat acute and chronic conditions. It plans to expand the platform across the region.</p>
<p>Genomics has also made its own breakthroughs, which allow for a clearer understanding of genetic factors in diseases and individualized treatment approaches. Precision medicine, based on genomic data, is increasingly making progress in developing and providing personalized therapies and diagnostics.</p>
<p>Leading the efforts in this field, the <a href="https://www.gmipost.com/article/371949/stanford-center-for-definitive-and-curative-medicine-aims-to-cure-the-incurable.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stanford Center for Definitive and Curative Medicine (CDCM</a>) is on a mission “to cure patients with currently incurable diseases through the development of innovative cell- and gene-based therapies (CGT).”</p>
<p>Since it was launched in 2017, the CDCM has been working on around 24 projects in the discovery, pre-clinical, and early trial phases.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the healthcare services sector has also benefitted from IT solutions for revenue cycle management, medical billing, consulting, and outsourcing of non-core functions.</p>
<p>In Serbia, <a href="https://www.gmipost.com/article/545322/takeda-celebrates-a-decade-of-broadening-healthcare-access-in-serbia.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Japanese pharmaceutical giant Takeda</a> has worked closely with the public and private sectors over the past decade to establish the country’s first telemedicine and telehealth service.</p>
<p>To meet the ever-changing demands of patients, doctors and caregivers, the healthcare sector will deliver even better results and further improve operational efficiencies with more international partnerships.</p>',

<figcaption class="image-caption">Japanese universities have realized they need to look abroad if they are to thrive in the long term.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>And with this trend going global, the competition is tough, particularly for Japan, with its language barrier and graying population. However, Japanese schools and universities have stepped up their strategies to boost international enrollment and strengthen partnerships around the world.</p>
<p>Through various exchange programs, Japanese and international students benefit from exposure to different academic environments and cultures, thereby broadening their view of the world. In a similar way, faculty members get to collaborate with international colleagues on research projects, which promotes the sharing of knowledge and ideas.</p>
<p>To increase their appeal to international students, more Japanese universities are embracing English as a language of instruction. They now offer more English-taught courses, provide language support services, and hire non-Japanese faculty. By improving English proficiency among students, teachers and staff, these universities are better equipped to engage with the global academic community.</p>
<p>Japanese universities have also increased investment in global collaborations. They have sought partnerships with renowned institutions abroad to undertake joint research projects and establish international research centers. These collaborations not only enhance the quality and impact of research but also foster an environment of diversity and innovation.</p>
<p>On another level, Japanese universities have capitalized on technology to enhance global engagement. Online learning platforms and virtual exchange programs have allowed students and faculty to connect with their counterparts worldwide, facilitating important academic interactions despite geographical barriers.</p>',

<figcaption class="image-caption">Confucian values are the bedrock of the Japanese education system.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>Japanese learn respect for authority at a very early age. In families and in schools, children are made aware of a hierarchical structure that must be obeyed. And, this collective observance of obedience results in self-discipline, which leads to an orderly community. In Japan and other parts of Asia where Confucianism runs deeply, the good of the community is valued over the benefit of an individual.</p>
<p>On the other hand, Confucianism also emphasizes the individual pursuit of knowledge. This idea gave birth to meritocracy in government. Imperial China’s scholars and bureaucrats could advance their careers through individual initiative, rather than an affinity to authority.</p>
<p>In present-day Japan, this is evident in the intense pressure to pass nationwide university entrance tests and secure a highly coveted place in one of the country’s leading universities. Following their studies, graduates live out that pursuit of knowledge by excelling in their chosen careers and making valuable contributions to society.</p>
<p>While more schools in Japan have incorporated some Western values, like self-expression and creativity, the Japanese education system remains deeply rooted in the age-old principles of respect for authority, the collective good and continuous improvement.</p>',

<p>Alarm levels were raised when Geoffrey Hinton, a 75-year-old British-Canadian scientist and a winner of the Turing Award (dubbed the Nobel Prize of computing), resigned from Google in March after more than a decade of leading AI research in the Silicon Valley-based company.</p>
<p>“I decided to shout fire. I don’t know what to do about it or which way to run,” Hinton, widely referred to as the Godfather of AI, told students at King’s College in Cambridge University. And in <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/01/technology/ai-google-chatbot-engineer-quits-hinton.html">a post-resignation interview with The New York Times</a>, he expressed some regret about his life’s work.</p>
<p>Amid the frenetic pace of technological innovation and the proliferation of intentional disinformation, governments around the world realize the need for clear rules and a coordinated global response to the unstoppable rise of AI.</p>
<p>The biggest issues surrounding AI:</p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li>Ethical and responsible use</li>
<li>Education and workforce development</li>
<li>Collaborative research and innovation</li>
<li>Regulatory frameworks</li>
<li>International cooperation:</li>
<li>Truth and fairness</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Because of its serious and wide-ranging implications on our everyday lives, several nations have set out guidelines and principles to ensure AI is deployed in a manner that respects human rights, privacy, and fairness.</p>
<p>In 2016, the European Union passed the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which enforces strict rules on data protection and transparency, thereby addressing concerns related to privacy. Meanwhile, the United States established the National AI Research Resource Task Force in 2020 to promote responsible AI research and development.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, to address the growing demand for AI expertise, countries have begun investing in education and workforce development initiatives. Governments are forming partnerships with schools and the private sector to offer AI-related courses, certifications, and training programs. By equipping their citizens with the necessary skills, countries want to have a workforce ready for an AI-driven future.</p>
<p>In Canada, the Vector Institute works closely with universities and industry partners to foster AI research and develop talent; while China has implemented nationwide AI education programs to nurture skilled professionals.</p>
<p>Recognizing that the challenges posed by AI exist on a global scale, countries are engaging in collaborative research and innovation efforts.</p>

<figcaption class="image-caption">Among the many multilateral efforts to keep AI secure and benign, the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence was first proposed by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron during the G7 Leaders' Summit in La Malbaie in June 2018.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>A three-year-old initiative of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron, the <a href="https://gpai.ai/">Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI)</a> addresses shared concerns, promotes responsible AI development, and facilitates information sharing. By pooling their resources and expertise, members can collectively tackle complex issues like bias and accountability.</p>
<p>As of 2023, GPAI has 29 members: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, the Republic of Korea, Senegal, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Türkiye, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union.</p>
<p>On the domestic front, individual countries are starting to establish regulatory frameworks to govern AI development and deployment. While the strategies may vary, every country knows they must strike a balance between innovation and safety.</p>
<p>The United Kingdom is adopting sector-specific regulations, such as those for autonomous vehicles; while others, like Singapore, are implementing comprehensive frameworks that cover various AI applications.</p>
<p>Given the nature of the challenges, countries recognize the importance of international cooperation. For instance, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has developed the <a href="https://oecd.ai/en/ai-principles">OECD Principles on AI</a> to guide countries in shaping national strategies. And during an official visit to Washington DC earlier this month, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called for a global summit on AI safety later this year.</p>
<p>Among the more immediate concerns of technology experts is engineered bias via AI, which is now capable of generating hard-to-detect imitations of text, images and voice that have the potential of destabilizing disinformation during elections.</p>
<p>Over the past year, the chatbot phenomenon has also sparked serious worries as the number of users of ChatGPT reached 100 million within just two months of its launch.</p>
<p>In this new incarnation of man vs. machine, the question is: Who will be in control?</p>',

<p>Established in 2005, LPU has shattered conventions by making "AI & AI Ethics" a mandatory subject for all first-year undergraduate students.</p>
<p>“I'm a big believer that AI will substantially transform humans for the better,” LPU Vice Chancellor of LPU Preeti Bajaj, who believes that this cutting-edge technology is capable of advancing human existence.</p>
<p>Firm in its commitment, LPU has introduced the groundbreaking “AI & AI Ethics” course across all of its 155-plus graduate and masters programs.</p>
<p>Asked about the decision to embrace AI amid the serious concerns expressed by some experts, Bajaj stressed, “Not only is AI technology already here, but it is also continuously and rapidly changing entire industries and services, whether it’s in business, finance, agriculture, engineering, or even sports and social sciences.”</p>
<p>“We can’t stop humans from innovating, so we’d rather build our students’ skills on how to master new technologies and more importantly, teach them how to use these technologies in an ethical manner,” she added.</p>
<p>Bajaj also said more than 30% of LPU's ongoing research projects are AI-based, a testament to the school’s unwavering commitment to spearheading innovation.</p>
<p>Bajaj, a doctor in electronics engineering with 32 years of experience, underscored the school’s commitment to training the workforce of the future and meeting the evolving demands of the world while recognizing that humans will remain indispensable to shaping the future.</p>
<p>“AI can never replace critical thinking. We need to teach our students how to grab these new opportunities and work closely with them to build better industries,” she said.</p>',

<figcaption class="image-caption">New Mexico is gearing up for a greener energy future with smart grids and more electric vehicle charging stations.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>“The New Mexico Department of Transportation didn't own a single electric vehicle in its fleet for years. It had no EV (electric vehicle) charging infrastructure at any of the facilities it owns across the state. Now, New Mexico is known as the first state to submit a NEVI plan, or National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan,” said Joseph De La Rosa, Special Projects Chief for the New Mexico Department of Transportation and the New Mexico Economic Development Department.</p>
<p>“New Mexico has signed an agreement with Colorado, Utah and Washington to partner in The Western Interstate Hydrogen Hub, WISHH. We’re working on proposals for the U.S. Department of Transportation to create hydrogen fuel corridors. New Mexico is also going to have the largest wind farm and grid project, the SunZia Project, which will provide power to the West Coast,” De La Rosa added. </p>
<p>In a city destined to find new international fame with the upcoming release of the film “Oppenheimer,” which chronicles the birth of the Nuclear Age, Los Alamos Utilities has taken up the challenge of finding both short-term and long-term renewable energy solutions.</p>
<p>“We just closed a coal fire plant and are trying to find replacement electric generation that's renewable. We're in the Small Modular Reactor project, but those are long-term projects that take time to develop. Our short-term goal is to find renewable resources – wind, solar, and battery – that cannot yet provide multiple days of stored energy. Our biggest challenge right now is exploring opportunities for long-term electricity storage,” said Los Alamos Utilities Manager Philo Shelton.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, at the University of New Mexico, a research team led by Prof. Manel Martínez-Ramón of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is developing an algorithm that will help electrical grids use energy more efficiently.</p>
<p>The project is a part of the New Mexico EPSCoR Smart Grid Center grant, funded by the National Science Foundation. The grant will involve the establishment of “a novel, interdisciplinary research center, the NM SMART Grid Center, which is pursuing next-generation electric power production and delivery through the creation of a SMART electric grid (one that is Sustainable, Modular, Adaptive, Resilient, and Transactive),” according to the EPSCoR website.</p>
<p>The smart grid that the EPSCoR project is developing will use artificial intelligence to automatically adjust energy storage based on how much energy will likely be needed under specific conditions. Weather is a very important factor in these decisions.</p>
<p>“There are several articles that show that temperature has a strong correlation with energy consumption since the utilities that consume most of the energy in the house are temperature regulators,” said UNM Graduate Research Assistant Nestor Pereira.</p>
<p>To help smart grids predict energy needs accurately, Martínez-Ramón’s team is devising an algorithm that will tell a smart grid what weather and power load data on which to base its decisions on any given day.</p>',

<figcaption class="image-caption">More schools in Japan are adopting project-based instruction because it encourages collaboration, creativity and critical thinking.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>One key aspect in this change is the integration of project-based learning in classrooms. Rather than rely solely on textbooks and lectures, students are encouraged to engage in hands-on projects and collaborative activities. This approach will empower students to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios, improve problem-solving abilities and nurture critical thinking in their chosen fields.</p>
<p>While art, music and drama classes will encourage creativity, critical thinking and self-expression, courses in philosophy and ethics will cultivate analytical skills and a strong sense of ethics.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, technology has played a larger role in the classroom. More digital tools and online resources provide students with access to a vast amount of information and interactive materials.</p>

<figcaption class="image-caption">Japanese schools place a lot of value in organizing school-wide festivals and sports events for their ability to create a sense of belonging and build self-confidence.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>With six years of elementary education, followed by three years each in both junior and senior high school, Japanese students have high standards to live up to, grades-wise and values-wise.</p>
<p>Uniforms are mandatory in nearly all schools in Japan as they instill discipline, foster a sense of discipline and minimize any obvious socio-economic disparity among students. These uniforms typically consist of a blazer or sailor-style uniform for girls and a suit or <em>gakuran</em> for boys.</p>
<p>Schools also organize <em>bukatsu, </em>or clubs. Students are encouraged to join such clubs, which cater to a wide range of interests, such as sports, music, art and science. By participating in extracurricular activities, students get a chance to discover their talent, nurture them, cultivate teamwork, and forge deep friendships.</p>
<p>Another feature of Japanese schools is the <em>undokai</em>, or festival, which are annual events wherein students get to show off their talents and achievements. A highlight of the entire community, these events typically feature athletic competitions, recitals, and various cultural activities.</p>
<p>It is no wonder Japanese schools produce well-rounded individuals that excel not only in the classroom, but also in the field and on the stage.</p>',

<p>The university believes that a well-rounded education must go beyond the acquisition of knowledge and skills; it must also equip students with a strong moral compass.</p>
<p>“The university’s founding spirit is deeply rooted in moralogy. This can be summarized by the five principles: precedence of duty, belief in a divine being, ortholinon (the line of succession of one’s benefactors), self-renunciation, human enlightenment and salvation,” said President Suminori Tokunaga.</p>

<figcaption class="image-caption">Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has presided over a nation predicted to become the next economic superpower.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>Invest India, the most awarded investment promotion agency in the world, breaks down why many foreign businesses are placing their bets in the South Asian nation.</p>
<p><strong>India is one of the world's fastest-growing economies</strong></p>
<p>Comparing India’s FDI inflows from 2000 to 2021, the foreign investments coming into the South Asian nation has increased 20 times. The latest International Monetary Fund (IMF) report also shows that India’s economy is projected to grow at 5.9% this year, or 271% higher than the U.S.’ projected growth rate.</p>
<p><strong>India is set to surpass China to become the world’s most populous nation</strong></p>
<p>The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in its "State of World Population Report” said India will have around 2.9 million people more than China this year. The same report also showed that India has the world's largest number of people between the ages of 15 and 24.</p>
<p>International management consultancy firm Mckinsey & Company supports the numbers in a report, stating that: “One in every five Gen Z-ers in the world lives in India.” Whether as a consumer base or source of talent, India’s large youth population presents an enormous growth opportunity for both domestic and international businesses.</p>
<p><strong>World-class infrastructure</strong></p>
<p>India's robust population and economy have paved the way for major developments in the country’s infrastructure. With the goal of making it as easy and efficient as possible to do business in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to spend a whopping 1.7% of India’s GDP on transport infrastructure this 2023 — around twice the amount spent in America and most European countries. This includes new bridges, road transport and highways, industrial parks, and multipurpose towers.</p>
<p>According to India’s Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance and India Investment Grid, India’s commitment to an enhanced and improved infrastructure program will drive economic growth, foreign investment interest, and sectoral competitiveness.</p>
<p><strong>Investor-friendly policies and benefits. </strong></p>
<p>The Indian government has laid out new economic policies that make the country more attractive to foreign investors. Depending on the state and industrial sector, India offers foreign tax deductions, grants, and rebates. It has also lifted prohibitions on full foreign ownership of certain businesses in some sectors.</p>
<p>With India becoming a major global hub for FDIs, it seems like Prime Minister Modi’s vision of turning the South Asian nation into a $5 trillion economy by 2025 is right on track.</p>

<figcaption class="image-caption">Tenstorrent CEO Jim Keller (Photo source: Tenstorrent)</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>Headquartered in Toronto, Tenstorrent has offices in Austin, Texas and Santa Clara, California, as well as in Belgrade, Tokyo, Bangalore, and Seoul. The company claims to be developing AI processors that perform as efficiently as Nvidia's AI GPUs but at a lower cost.</p>
<p>At present, Nvidia is the global market leader when it comes to AI chips. Its AI accelerators command between 70% and 95% of the global market share, according to CNBC.</p>
<p>Keller also said in the interview that Tenstorrent hopes to sell its second-generation multipurpose AI chip by the end of this year.</p>
<p>According to Keller, Tenstorrent can achieve its objective because it does not use high-bandwidth memory (HBM), a popular type of advanced memory chip capable of transferring large amounts of data quickly. HBM is a vital component for generative AI chips and has played a significant role in the success of Nvidia's offerings.</p>
<p>But Keller pointed out that HBM was also one of the culprits behind the massive energy consumption and high prices of AI chips.</p>
<p>"Even the people that use HBM struggle with the cost of it, [and] the design time to build it,” he said.</p>
<p>By doing away with HBM, Tenstorrent will design a chip that can replace both GPUs and HBMs in some areas of AI development, adding that its new product will be "as cost-effective as possible".</p>',

</figure>
<p>Wafer testing is part of the manufacturing process wherein all individual integrated circuits are checked for functional defects through special test patterns.</p>
<p>According to Melexis, its expansion in Malaysia is a strategic move to streamline logistics and reduce its ecological footprint. Additionally, it selected Kuching because of its diverse, multilingual, entrepreneurial and highly skilled workforce.</p>
<p><strong>Melexis CEO Marc Biron </strong>said, “With an investment of 70 million euros, this opening underscores the ambition of Melexis and will ensure future growth. With Melexis, we are at the forefront of innovation, and this opening will support us in the markets that we serve.”</p>
<p>The new four-storey building, a collaboration of award-winning Belgian architect Sebastian Mortelmans and local architectural firm DNA, covers a ground surface of 4,500 sq. m., making it the company’s largest wafer testing site worldwide. The modern design evokes local longhouse architecture, incorporates advanced energy-saving systems, like a solar installation that can generate 30.000 kWh per month, and minimizes its environmental impact.</p>
<p>“Melexis has made the right choice to invest in Sarawak. With political stability, Sarawak is business-friendly and welcomes investments that can create mutual benefits. The Sarawak government has always been very supportive of investors both foreign and domestic. It is among the most preferred destinations for investment in Malaysia,” <strong>Sarawak’s Ministry of International Trade, Industry and Investment </strong>said in a statement<strong>.</strong></p>
<p>“Sarawak possesses many comparative advantages for businesses to grow and prosper such as strategic location, availability of green energy, talented workforce, and suitable land for industrial activities,” the statement also said.</p>',

<p>“Congratulations to Virginia on being named America’s Top State for Business in 2024 by CNBC, a record six times achieving that designation. I know that Virginia succeeds because of our shared belief that collaboration and innovation yield great results for our businesses and their employees,” said <strong>Fairfax County Economic Development Authority President and CEO Victor Hoskins</strong>.</p>
<p>Virginia ranks in the top half or better in each of the study’s 10 categories this year, “a rare feat,” noted CNBC. The state landed in the top 10 in four additional categories: infrastructure (3rd), business friendliness (5th), access to capital (8th) and workforce (9th).</p>
<p>For the first time, CNBC counted infrastructure (including the availability of shovel-ready sites) as the most important component for businesses when deciding on investment and cited the Virginia Business Ready Sites Program, as well as its world-class port, rail, roadway, and air transportation ecosystem as major contributors to the recognition.</p>
<p>CNBC’s annual ranking measures all 50 states on 128 different metrics in 10 key categories of competitiveness. North Carolina ranked second on the list, followed by Texas, Georgia and Florida.</p>
<p>Regarding Virginia’s economic relations with Japan, over $32.5 billion in capital investment has been made by Japanese companies in the last 5 years, according to the Virginia Economic Development Partnership, which also reports that Japanese companies employ more than 15,2000 people in the state.</p>',

<p>The new 650,000-square-foot facility was inaugurated on July 10 and is located in FANUC America’s West Campus in Auburn Hills, Michigan. The expansion increases the company’s footprint in Michigan to over 2 million square feet and is part of FANUC America’s plan to advance industrial automation in North America. The West Campus represents a $110 million investment built on 67 acres of land.</p>
<p>The facility, built on 270,000 square meters, has warehouse space to hold more than 6,000 robots and features automated systems for moving the robots in and out of the building, according to FANUC America.</p>
<p>"Our ongoing upward trajectory allows us to better support our customers with cutting-edge robotic and automation solutions, helping to drive more efficiency across all industries,” <strong>FANUC America CEO Michael Cicco </strong>said at the unveiling ceremony.</p>
<p>The Japanese company said it would have invested $250 million in North America since 2019 once this and other projects in its pipeline are completed. Currently, FANUC America has created over 400 jobs in Michigan.</p>',

<p>K Health said in the same statement that it had been developing its own AI technology for more than seven years. Today, it can provide 24/7 virtual primary care solutions to millions of people in the United States.</p>
<p>The K Health platform includes clinical-grade medical chat and AI predictive models based on large datasets to help physicians optimize diagnosis and treatment and focus on patient care.</p>
<p>Instead of doctors taking patients through lengthy procedures and manually piecing together their medical history from electronic medical records, K Health allows healthcare providers to engage more quickly and closely with patients by giving them a complete medical chart with patient insights straight from the app.</p>
<p>According to K Health, this new model of care delivery achieves dramatically higher quality of care at lower costs compared to traditional primary care.</p>
<p>“K Health solves the need to make primary care visits highly personalized by giving doctors AI superpowers that enable them to practice at the top of their license. Our primary care platform offers a concierge medical experience with an assigned provider and 24/7 access to care,” explained<strong> K Health founder and CEO Allon Bloch.</strong></p>
<p>“When partnered with leading health systems, this model creates significant benefits to access, clinical outcomes, and patient experience. All you need to get care is your health insurance, a stark contrast to concierge medicine services that typically cost thousands of dollars,” Bloch added.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Claure Group</strong> <strong>Founder and CEO Marcelo Claure </strong>said: As I invest in the AI landscape, I have found it incredibly difficult to discover companies making tangible, real-world progress with AI. K Health is the first company I've seen successfully using AI to impact millions of lives. They are addressing some of healthcare's greatest challenges by providing accessibility to faster, higher-quality, lower-cost care on a large scale."</p>',

<figcaption class="image-caption">Key representatives of NUH during the launch of the National University Centre for Trauma (Photo source: Singapore's National University Hospital)</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>According to the NUH, the center will use a code system to reduce the time between admission to the emergency department and the transfer to an operating theatre. Code Trauma involves the mobilization of all essential staff, including emergency physicians, nurses, surgeons, and anesthesiologists, to accelerate decision-making and response for patients with polytrauma or multiple injuries.</p>
<p>“The National University Centre for Trauma represents decades of efforts in refining our trauma care expertise for our injured patients to return to their lives and achieve their dreams. It also aims to prevent trauma from occurring in the first place with data-driven injury prevention efforts,” said <strong>National University Centre for Trauma Director Raj Menon.</strong></p>
<p>In line with this, the hospital has rolled out a multi-disciplinary clinic that provides services for recovering trauma patients and conducts meetings to enhance care, rehabilitation, and psychosocial recovery pathways.</p>
<p>Today, NUH has over 1,200 beds and serves more than 1 million patients a year with over 50 medical, surgical, and dental specialties. NUH is the only public and not-for-profit hospital in Singapore that provides care for adults, women and children under one roof, including the country’s only pediatric kidney and liver transplant program.</p>',

<p>Alarm levels were raised when Geoffrey Hinton, a 75-year-old British-Canadian scientist and a winner of the Turing Award (dubbed the Nobel Prize of computing), resigned from Google in March after more than a decade of leading AI research in the Silicon Valley-based company.</p>
<p>“I decided to shout fire. I don’t know what to do about it or which way to run,” Hinton, widely referred to as the Godfather of AI, told students at King’s College in Cambridge University. And in <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/01/technology/ai-google-chatbot-engineer-quits-hinton.html">a post-resignation interview with The New York Times</a>, he expressed some regret about his life’s work.</p>
<p>Amid the frenetic pace of technological innovation and the proliferation of intentional disinformation, governments around the world realize the need for clear rules and a coordinated global response to the unstoppable rise of AI.</p>
<p>The biggest issues surrounding AI:</p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li>Ethical and responsible use</li>
<li>Education and workforce development</li>
<li>Collaborative research and innovation</li>
<li>Regulatory frameworks</li>
<li>International cooperation:</li>
<li>Truth and fairness</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Because of its serious and wide-ranging implications on our everyday lives, several nations have set out guidelines and principles to ensure AI is deployed in a manner that respects human rights, privacy, and fairness.</p>
<p>In 2016, the European Union passed the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which enforces strict rules on data protection and transparency, thereby addressing concerns related to privacy. Meanwhile, the United States established the National AI Research Resource Task Force in 2020 to promote responsible AI research and development.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, to address the growing demand for AI expertise, countries have begun investing in education and workforce development initiatives. Governments are forming partnerships with schools and the private sector to offer AI-related courses, certifications, and training programs. By equipping their citizens with the necessary skills, countries want to have a workforce ready for an AI-driven future.</p>
<p>In Canada, the Vector Institute works closely with universities and industry partners to foster AI research and develop talent; while China has implemented nationwide AI education programs to nurture skilled professionals.</p>
<p>Recognizing that the challenges posed by AI exist on a global scale, countries are engaging in collaborative research and innovation efforts.</p>

<figcaption class="image-caption">Among the many multilateral efforts to keep AI secure and benign, the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence was first proposed by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron during the G7 Leaders' Summit in La Malbaie in June 2018.</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>A three-year-old initiative of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron, the <a href="https://gpai.ai/">Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI)</a> addresses shared concerns, promotes responsible AI development, and facilitates information sharing. By pooling their resources and expertise, members can collectively tackle complex issues like bias and accountability.</p>
<p>As of 2023, GPAI has 29 members: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, the Republic of Korea, Senegal, Serbia, Singapore, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Türkiye, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union.</p>
<p>On the domestic front, individual countries are starting to establish regulatory frameworks to govern AI development and deployment. While the strategies may vary, every country knows they must strike a balance between innovation and safety.</p>
<p>The United Kingdom is adopting sector-specific regulations, such as those for autonomous vehicles; while others, like Singapore, are implementing comprehensive frameworks that cover various AI applications.</p>
<p>Given the nature of the challenges, countries recognize the importance of international cooperation. For instance, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has developed the <a href="https://oecd.ai/en/ai-principles">OECD Principles on AI</a> to guide countries in shaping national strategies. And during an official visit to Washington DC earlier this month, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called for a global summit on AI safety later this year.</p>
<p>Among the more immediate concerns of technology experts is engineered bias via AI, which is now capable of generating hard-to-detect imitations of text, images and voice that have the potential of destabilizing disinformation during elections.</p>
<p>Over the past year, the chatbot phenomenon has also sparked serious worries as the number of users of ChatGPT reached 100 million within just two months of its launch.</p>
<p>In this new incarnation of man vs. machine, the question is: Who will be in control?</p>',
