RELEVANT SUSTAINABLE GOALS
The YSEALI Academy : “Creative AI and Cultural Influence”
The YSEALI Academy was established in 2020 with the aim of empowering young professionals ages 25-40 from across Southeast Asia by building their capacity and developing their leadership skills. To achieve this, they offer a variety of activities, including four flagship seminars each year on Public Policy, Technology & Innovation, and Entrepreneurship.
This year’s Technology and Innovation Seminar on Creative AI and Cultural Influence is a one-week in-person event, preceded by online engagement sessions. It is designed for young leaders who are creative, interested in Southeast Asian cultures, and curious about the impact of AI technologies on society.
The combination of online engagement sessions and a week-long in-person seminar/workshops will be intensive and comprehensive, guiding the fellows on the capabilities of creative AI tools and facilitating critical thinking to make them beneficial for Southeast Asia while mitigating the risks. The lectures, panel discussions, team projects and leadership training will provide the young leaders with unique skills and experiences in a fast-changing world with regional challenges and incredible opportunities.
The 2023 Technology and Innovation Seminar on Creative AI and Cultural Influence will be open to candidates who are young professionals between the ages of 25-40, highly qualified and motivated, from all 11 ASEAN member countries. Once selected, all participants will be fully funded by the U.S. Department of State to attend the in-person seminar.
