Tech conferences is an odd place for a child rights advocate to be in. I got no VCs to chase, no business to pedal, no technical know-how to contribute to conversations. But it's important to see how the future is shaping up, because that's the world our children will be in. It was a pleasant surprise to see Amazon CTO, Dr. Werner Vogels highlighting 𝘚𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘺 𝘛𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘯 on the main stage at #KL20 Summit. An AI that catches Child Sexual Abuse Materials (CSAM). Innovating for child protection needs to be given more spotlight to inspire convergence like what's happening in the rest of the tech space. Regulation always trails behind innovation. And innovating for damage control often only comes when it start to hurt profits. While there's no stopping the wheels of progress from turning (and turning very fast!), can we please... 🔷 design with the "𝘕𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘮 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘦" principal in mind 🔷 Include experts in social development be it for children, women, vulnerable communities in tech spaces - before, during, and after- innovation process 🔷 for funders to measure success beyond profit and value innovation that has comprehensively considered the product/service's long term social impact In my past life as a business journalist, I LOVE reporting on the start-up scene because of its energy- young, scrappy and hungry. I'm holding on to my seat for the next crazy idea coming out of ASEAN, fingers crossed we don't disappoint our grandkids! 🤞
