Global Tech Influencers at Digital Innovation Virtual Conference 2020

Till 2019, conference networking around the world was energetic and unrestricted; we could travel to the coolest destination taking a break from our professional and personal lives to advance our stake in the futuristic.

US Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning facilitated the provision. Ai Weiwei, who has been in exile in Berlin, Germany, left China in 2015 to flee from Beijing's wrath.

Another fundamental rule I follow is to keep things simple and keep the focus on what's important. To make the "perfect" product, we often get distracted by various "cool" features and lose sight of getting the product to market. After all,...

Is it Time to Declare and Protect Global Digital Human Rights?

Digitalization and innovation in various sectors of the world now call for a revisit and declaration of global digital human rights. The urgency has developed because with digitalization becoming a "norm" in society, global digital human rights are vulnerable to high levels of violation.

While the fourth industrial revolution aims to correct mistakes or advance the past industrial revolutions, it is only right to legally consolidate the updated global digital human rights to compliment digitalization. The global digital human rights give individuals access to using compute...
