In collaboration with the ASEAN Foundation, Biji-biji Initiative & Mereka, Plan International Indonesia, local ASEAN social impact partners, and strategic governments, the large-scale AI Fluency skilling programs aim to empower ASEAN youths and educators to thrive in the AI-enabled economy.
The state of AI and its opportunities
- The potential of artificial intelligence extends beyond its coexistence with humans and hopes to contribute to a more sustainable future. In recent studies, the ASEAN region faces difficulties in achieving sustainable development due to the region’s unpreparedness in utilising AI advancements to forward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- AI skills are increasingly essential, with the World Economic Forum highlighting their importance in corporate training strategies and noting that around 6.6 million workers in ASEAN will need to update their skills due to AI advancements.
- Thus, Microsoft Philanthropies is focused on upskilling individuals for the AI-enabled economy, targeting capacity building across non-profits, workforce organizations, education institutes, and government entities, with a goal to reach 10 million people globally.
