You kindly carried an obituary to my father The Economists' Norman Macrae in 2010 https://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/obituary-norman-macrae-journalist-2442337

I wanted to check with you first in case a short serial  on 2023 opportunities common could be mutually beneficial

Glasgow University is planning 265 moral sentiments summit June 2023- kindly codesharing it with what would have been dad's centenary year! Previously, 2010: 3 weeks after dad's death Adam Smith Scholars codeshared dad's remembrance with Muhammad Yunus 70th wish birthday party and this stimulated the University's launch millennials transformation journals new economics and social business. This had followed on a 2008 summit mainly sponsored by Sir Tom Hunter before the subprime crisis resulted in loss of much of his retail world.

For father as a Keynsian as well as Smithian,  Tropical Asian women empowerment 2010-1970 reaching up to a billion village mothers and so the bottom quarter of the human pyramid was the greatest economic miracle achieved during his life but not sufficient to prevent extinction - womens rural development was indeed intergenerationally aligned to why 1843 James Wilson started to engage Queen Victoria in going beyond slavemaking empire to commonwealth

ALTERNATIVE BURMESE DAYS

Dad had survived being teenage navigator allied bomber command Burma world war 2 -so friendships across hemispheres and next generations was part of his life's purpose and definition of  professional transparency; this was accelerated by meeting Von Neumann Princeton 1951 and agreeing that The Economist would become home of Neumann's survey what goods can humans unite with 100 times more etch per decade (this would ultimately determine whether 2025-1945 was to spiral more humanly than 1945-1865 (ITU tele communications being born 1865 and shaping the region that birthed maths goats Einstein, Neumann .. )

I joined in what was father's 33rd year of Neumann survey in co-authoring 2025 report 1984 - could we redesign media for millennials to be the first sustainability generation Death of a great optimist

Of course the jury is still out on whether eg frameworks changing media and education and tech like the UN's since 2016 will be in time https://www.un.org/techenvoy/content/ongoing-work

However we could argue that media transformation  particularly of English mindset is a journalistic responsibility - one that Scotland -and its diaspora networks - can engage in like no other nation from its far north understanding of how humans unite or disunite

Just last week something extraordinary happened in washington dc where my family now mainly lives. In the first annual review of humanising AI with Biden's national task team    https://www.ai.gov/nairrtf/ ai as a way of becoming every humans lifelong skills dashboard and personal trainer was presented (the first time this has been fully aligned to our 1984's future history)

The Scotsman would be in an ideal position to assemble interviewees - from the UN or from the extraordinary AI loves humans epicentre that Stanford's networks are sharing https://hai.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/2023-03/Generative_AI_HAI_Perspectives.pdf

I don't know exactly what could be possible; I realise every country in Europe is in current need of a different moral/optimistic leap forward. I am just a maths person completely without political agenda - indeed as early as dad's 1976 http://www.entrepreneurialrevolution.city he tried to start debates on why left versus right needed to be ever less relevant to 21st c being and digital world mediation

I have been privileged myself to go to \Asia 60 times often working for unilever but since dads death 16 times to Bangladesh to follow through his last scoop Sir Fazle Abed as one of the 2 main epicentres of empowering 1 billion women to end poverty. Oddly Abed started not with banking but with taming the killer disease James Wilson had died of in Calcutta  1860- ie diarrhea needing oral rehydration as cure welcome economistdiary.com abedmooc.com,catholicuni.com

welcome economistdiary.com abedmooc.com,catholicuni.com

In his last decade when I met Abed annually -and most notably his 80th burthday party spring 2016 which became his system change offering to the UN -  he was designing university partnerships (a sort of new Rhodes scholars criss crossing everywhere womens ai graduates needed lift off) which had emerged in 2001 from a brainstorming dinner with Mr and Mrs Steve Jobs. So in this still overmanaged world, can artificial intel return common sense (above zero sum goodwill exchanges) valuing integration of every community/diversity- what is the way Scotland not yet a nation at the UN may yet be able to contribute to borderless ai for sustainability?

🌎 🌍 🌏 About the event series:
Since its launch in late 2013, China’s Belt and Road Initiative has caused a lasting impact on the geopolitical dynamics of the world. China’s international connectivity strategy fosters a more balanced, multi-centric world system on a mutual eye level, but leaves many question marks for Westerners. Even experts struggle to comprehend all facets of this strategy. 
The SILKROAD 4.0 event series brings together leading experts within their fields, discussing what Europe can learn from Asia - and Asia from Europe.

🔭🔬💡 About this event:
Turkey is a central global logistic hub, connecting Europe and Asia already since the middle ages and before. But not only is Turkey known for its transport industry, but also for its relevance in producing goods for the world market. In particular, Turkey and China have been gearing up “production and industrial cooperation” – an important element of China’s BRI (Belt and Road Initiative) – for the last few years, which has accelerated recently with the opening up of the “Middle Corridor” (or TCIT) and COSCO’s substantial investments in Kumport Terminal. The emphasis currently is on strengthening advanced technological cooperation and production in Turkey for export abroad, including EU markets. At present, more than 30 Chinese digital companies have investments or partners in Turkey.
Join us to find out more about Asia-Turkey production and industrial cooperation in key sectors of the Turkish economy, as well as trade opportunities.

  Silkroad 4.0 Interview in Cheng Du, China - 沿途历时半年 奥地利创客骑摩托来成都参加欧洽会

  youtube.com

xxx*) The following article was published in the Guangming Daily Newspaper. Approximate translation by Google Translate, Dr. Philipe Reinisch.

The coronavirus epidemic has not only had a huge impact on the global economy but also affected the traditional business models and international exchanges based on the movement of people. Faced with the new reality that humans and viruses may coexist for a long time, many international cooperation projects based on the “Belt and Road” initiative are actively exploring online business models, and while responding to challenges with digitalization, they have obtained new development opportunities.

Recently, our reporter interviewed Dr. Philipe Reinisch, initiator of the "Silk Road 4.0" project. Dr. Reinisch launched a Silk Road expedition in 2018, riding a high-tech motorcycle from Vienna over 15,000 kilometers and arriving in China after more than 4 months. Through this "Silk Road 4.0" trip, he not only tested the scientific and technological achievements developed by the partner companies. But he also successfully brought these scientific and technological projects to China, setting up a network for scientific and technological cooperation between China and Europe, producing remarkable results.

Dr. Reinisch originally planned to organize the project again this year, expanding the original network, but the sudden new corona epidemic disrupted the original plan. It also made him start to rethink the model of promoting Sino-European technology cooperation. 

Dr. Reinisch said that the original version of "Silk Road 4.0" he planned to launch this year is a commercial project that connects Asia and Europe and aims to promote China-Europe scientific and technological cooperation. Participants can choose cars, public transportation, trucks or motorcycle as a means of transportation - in the meaning of a "tech caravan tour" using a high-tech fleet. The expedition trip will start from Austria, traverse the whole of Europe, pass through many countries in the "Silk Road Economic Belt", and finally arrive in China. The vision is to have spontaneous participants joining at any time during the journey. Participants use high-tech travel technology to stay connected with each other. 

The project facilitates contacts with local experts in different fields of science and technology through various activities in multiple locations. It will discuss the latest trends in the high-tech field, expedite in-depth exchanges on possible future cooperation projects, and support a true Silk Road vision with professional consulting services.

However, the sudden new coronavirus epidemic has changed the original plan. Especially the business model based on "technology + travel" has to be temporarily shelved due to the tightening of entry and exit policies of countries around the world. This required Dr. Reinisch to pivot the project and to launch an "Online Silk Road" campaign. The specific form is to bring together emerging technology companies in an online format to promote their latest technology products in various countries. Examples for possible technologies include artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, blockchain, green tech, or next-generation battery systems. This online travel plan begins in September this year, starting from Europe and ending in China while traversing the entire Eurasian continent. Through "virtual visits" in countries related to the "Belt and Road", it connects participating members with experts from local companies. Together, companies have the opportunity to develop scientific and technological projects with local partners to achieve scientific and technological excellence.

Dr. Reinisch said that in the cooperation of emerging technology, mutual trust is of utmost importance because in the early stage people often don't know whether these innovative projects will succeed. True trust is built on long-term, uninterrupted personal contact with each other. But this turns even more difficult during the epidemic, especially when the two parties originate from different cultural backgrounds. Face-to-face interactions in interpersonal communication are difficult to replace. This is the biggest challenge of the project. So, how can people build trust through digital communication? The answer is through time spent together and by shared experiences and successes. When people need to complete a project together, unfamiliar partners will gradually understand, learn, and ultimately build trust through these common goals. Although the new coronavirus epidemic has had an impact on "Silk Road 4.0", their goal of promoting China-EU scientific and technological cooperation remains unchanged, except that the method will be changed from face-to-face communication to an online interchange.

In addition to the impact of the epidemic itself, the changes in international relations caused by the epidemic and its collateral effects are also strenuous challenges for any scientific and technological cooperation. Dr. Reinisch said that due to the outbreak and other reasons, in the past few months disputes between some countries have been escalating. Numerous negative reports have caused people to be cautious and even skeptical when interacting across borders. Many countries have appeared to distrust products and partners of other countries. To win back the confidence of foreign partners, people have to jointly work diligently. Therefore, professional project management needs to show more predictable and sustainable win-win goals in order to be sustainable during this current global trust crisis. Besides that, it is also very important to adopt a communication method that suits the corresponding cultural background, as the means and habits of communication between the East and the West are not the same. Another major challenge comes from different or even incompatible innovation ecosystems. An example is the data exchange between China and Europe. Europeans need to switch from the traditional asynchronous mail-based business communication approach to WeChat or other advanced tools for real-time information exchange when communicating with Chinese organizations. Therefore, teaming up with a partner with a practical and proven knowledge in China-EU scientific and technological cooperation is a necessary pre-condition for the safe and effective completion of any project.

Dr. Reinisch said that his personal main focus of interest is now how interpersonal relationships will develop in the future in this post-epidemic era, and which supporting social mechanisms and technological tools will take the lead. He hopes to bridge the cultural and technological gap with his global "Online Silk Road" vision and to facilitate an exchange between China and European partners at eye level. When the conditions permit again, he will restart the "Silk Road 4.0" journey in the future. Although digital tools and virtual online travel can help people communicate with cross-cultural and cross-regional partners, after all, there is no tool that can completely replace real face-to-face interaction between people.
