Training on AI, Blockchain and IoT: Evolution, Vision, Trends and Open Challenges

Frontier ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) are increasingly recognized as crucial tools for realizing the Sustainable Development Goals. Innovations such as Artificial intelligence (AI), Blockchain, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are anticipated to play a significant role in sustainable development. However, they also present considerable challenges particularly in the realm of policymaking, especially among developing countries. It is crucial for countries to develop guiding frameworks for adopting frontier ICTs in their national development strategies.

The Asian and Pacific Training Centre for ICT for Development, a regional institute of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (APCICT/ ESCAP), in cooperation with ICI of Ministry of Information and Communications of Viet Nam, is organizing the Training on AI, Blockchain and IoT: Evolution, Vision, Trends and Open Challenges in Hanoi. The training aims to deepen understanding among participants on these frontier ICTs, particularly key measures and policy directions for their effective applications in promoting sustainable development through case studies of various countries.
