A copy of the presentation I made at the SITA GovTech in Durban. It Captures: The need for polling on resources – Polling resources is very important for the development of any FOSS software, as indeed any community-based project. Collaboration – an understanding of purpose among all the stakeholders is very important. From policy makers, funders, community leaders, software developers, to the end users. importance of ownership Need for qualified human capacity in the software development arena – in working together, we should continually look at ways and means of improving our human capacity and capital.

The presentation is for the teacher and the student to learn and grow with their projects applying systematic thinking along with methodologies that foster such thinking. I used emerging business technology applications to serve as examples to highlight the extensive preparation that goes along to achieve any successful product. I just focused on the influence of the smart phone, social, mobile, cloud convergence with a few examples from education, daily digital routines and healthcare.

The Global Community for Academic Advising (NACADA) has identified the need to educate advisors on how to effectively implement technology into their practice. The NACADA Technology in Advising Commission continues to thrive to support new initiatives and tap into the advising needs for the profession. During the 2009 NACADA Winter Institute, the first hands-on, interactive NACADA Technology Seminar (Pasquini, Steele, Stoller & Thurmond, 2009) introduced participants to a conversation about technology in advising. NACADA continues to support online webinars to share expertise and resources throughout the United States, and across the globe. Other examples of online NACADA development and training initiatives can be found on commission group wikis, regional blogs, slide sharing websites, NACADA Facebook group page and daily on the NACADA Twitter stream. Overall, a renewed emphasis for collaborative, online engagement in the higher education community is evolving to develop new forms of interaction and assessment. Participants will learn and share examples of online advising delivery being utilized in the advising practice. Session facilitators will share their experience advising with social networks, IM, web conferencing, podcasts, slidecasting, and other online resources. The growing use of social media and online tools, combined with collective intelligence and mass involvement, is gradually but deeply changing the practice of learning (The Horizon Report 2008). Electronic technologies can create a change in pedagogy for students, staff and faculty connected to the advising process. Advising units need to think about online advising development that includes increased participation, self-paced learning design, and continual assessment and feedback.

The presentation explores the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) from its inception to its current status in the modern world. The term "artificial intelligence" was first coined by John McCarthy in 1956 to describe efforts to develop computer programs capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. This concept was first introduced at a conference held at Dartmouth College, where programs demonstrated capabilities such as playing chess, proving theorems, and interpreting texts. In the early stages, Alan Turing contributed to the field by defining intelligence as the ability of a being to respond to certain questions intelligently, proposing what is now known as the Turing Test to evaluate the presence of intelligent behavior in machines. As the decades progressed, AI evolved significantly. The 1980s focused on machine learning, teaching computers to learn from data, leading to the development of models that could improve their performance based on their experiences. The 1990s and 2000s saw further advances in algorithms and computational power, which allowed for more sophisticated data analysis techniques, including data mining. By the 2010s, the proliferation of big data and the refinement of deep learning techniques enabled AI to become mainstream. Notable milestones included the success of Google's AlphaGo and advancements in autonomous vehicles by companies like Tesla and Waymo. A major theme of the presentation is the application of generative AI, which has been used for tasks such as natural language text generation, translation, and question answering. Generative AI uses large datasets to train models that can then produce new, coherent pieces of text or other media. The presentation also discusses the ethical implications and the need for regulation in AI, highlighting issues such as privacy, bias, and the potential for misuse. These concerns have prompted calls for comprehensive regulations to ensure the safe and equitable use of AI technologies. Artificial intelligence has also played a significant role in healthcare, particularly highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, where it was used in drug discovery, vaccine development, and analyzing the spread of the virus. The capabilities of AI in healthcare are vast, ranging from medical diagnostics to personalized medicine, demonstrating the technology's potential to revolutionize fields beyond just technical or consumer applications. In conclusion, AI continues to be a rapidly evolving field with significant implications for various aspects of society. The development from theoretical concepts to real-world applications illustrates both the potential benefits and the challenges that come with integrating advanced technologies into everyday life. The ongoing discussion about AI ethics and regulation underscores the importance of managing these technologies responsibly to maximize their their benefits while minimizing potential harms.

Created by Mozilla Research in 2012 and now part of Linux Foundation Europe, the Servo project is an experimental rendering engine written in Rust. It combines memory safety and concurrency to create an independent, modular, and embeddable rendering engine that adheres to web standards. Stewardship of Servo moved from Mozilla Research to the Linux Foundation in 2020, where its mission remains unchanged. After some slow years, in 2023 there has been renewed activity on the project, with a roadmap now focused on improving the engine’s CSS 2 conformance, exploring Android support, and making Servo a practical embeddable rendering engine. In this presentation, Rakhi Sharma reviews the status of the project, our recent developments in 2023, our collaboration with Tauri to make Servo an easy-to-use embeddable rendering engine, and our plans for the future to make Servo an alternative web rendering engine for the embedded devices industry.
