12:20 – 12:30 Digital Government and Covid-19
Digital government is central to the global response to COVID-19. Governments need to communicate critical information clearly, quickly and consistently to citizens, as well as ensure that all citizens, including the most vulnerable, have access to the services they need. Governments are recognising they need to invest in building the right digital foundations, systems, skills, services and standards to deliver this. GDS will explain how its expertise and experience has supported the UK’s response to COVID-19.

12:30 – 12:40 Cyber security needs more attention and solid actions during the Corona crisis- why Estonia is leading the way
Presented by
The secret of a well-functioning digital society lies in trust, transparency and the government’s ability to stick to these fundamental attributes as a priority.In Estonia, cybersecurity means fully protecting the digital society and the way of life as a whole.The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the global peace and security environment on several levels. Cyberattacks can have a global reach and this, by default, necessitates a global approach. It has become crucial to enhance cross-border cooperation and consistently work on a better and safer digital society. In my talk, I am going to cover what could we learn from the time of the crisis in the aspects of Cybersecurity and why Estonia might have been the best prepared country to tackle the crisis.

12:40 – 12:50 Digital 4th Revolution Smart Solutions
Technology has helped define the human experience for centuries. By 2030, the partnership between people and machines will become deeper, richer and more immersive than ever before. We’ll be able to surpass our own limitations and open our lives to new possibilities. As technologists, we have a profound impact in reshaping the way people work, live and play. Over the past decade every industry and government sector, regardless of size or geography, has undergone a digital transformation. Just look back 10 years ago – in 2009 you hailed a taxi because Uber didn’t exist. You booked a hotel because there was no Airbnb. There was no Siri or Alexa to answer your questions. We’ve seen transformation in business funding (Kickstarter, Initial Coin Offerings); in technology (Drone Delivery, 3D Printing, 4G) and in the workforce Millennials are now the largest single component of the workforce.

13:35 – 13:45 Looking beyond the hAIpe
There is a lot of talk resulting in fear actually hampering progress in the AI space. I truly believe that we need AI to help us crack issues that will take our linear brains too long to fix as were AI can do exponential “thinking” alongside of us. General AI is long long long ways off narrow AI is for grasps and can be used today.
