HR on technology

Still debating if HR has any role in technology? We didn't need EU AI Act for it. Now we are being told to do exactly what we've been advising everyone on to do without having to be obligated and allot resources.  Article 4 of the law is AI literacy which is the responsibility of HR covering stakeholders no less than providers (developers) and deployers (customers mostly with caveat on expanded requirements, excluding personal non-professional use). These entities are called primary operators both upstream and downstream. Others are supply chain intermediaries including importers and distributors. HR is going for the horizontal bar, considerably building a broad collaborative literacy. Literacy in technology is never a burden. From our experience, it held up the asset category. End-users would benefit from it, they could establish a behavior to initiate and learn what their role is about when it comes to the system they are using, big savings here you can see.

Justice is the health and beauty of the soul

And Brooks' advice deeply rooted in classical philosophy frequently references Seneca's teaching of inner peace (eudaemonia), that is achieved by "managing emotional extremes so that they don't manage you". In Filipino, based on a few texts somewhere, there is the delicadeza version which means "the practical mechanism and highest form of social intelligence" whereas the opposite of its basic premise (Spanish version including sensitivity), that's without being delicate and the absence of integrity is simply pure manipulation and blunt justice.  Real justice ...

Luzon Economic Corridor and AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is presented as a dominant and foundational element of the Luzon Economic Corridor (LEC), particularly within the advanced manufacturing and digital connectivity sectors. The initial sources (from PH, PH and US government websites) illustrate this focus through specific high-impact initiatives: The AI-Native Investment Acceleration Hub: The United States and the Philippines plan to establish a 4,000-acre industrial hub in the LEC, which is designated as the first "AI-native" investment acceleration hub under the Pax Silica Initiative. This massive facility is designed to amplify production for allied manufacturing by leveraging market demand and the Philippines' technically skilled workforce. Trilateral AI Ecosystem: The governments of Japan and the Philippines are collaborating to co-create an AI ecosystem via the ASEAN-Japan Co-Creation Initiative for AI. This comprehensive effort includes: ◦ AI infrastructure development. ◦ ...

Structural mismatch

That's the problem a digital society needs to fix and address what few people see as 'acceleration gap' which appeared to be there since industrialization era. To do that, a lot of things needs to be really considered and en courage ment in decisions must built properly without technology missteps.  Settling structural mismatch is the beginning.
