Interpol Panel – public invited
Interpol is having their yearly conference in Singapore and normally their is very little public interaction but this year I am moderating a panel that will bring Interpol, the private sector, the startup sector and the VC community together to discuss the future of AI, IOT, and how Interpol will work with the goverment and the private sector to help ensure public safety in a world where automation machines and autonomous cars will become the norm.
Going to be interesting.

On being an apprentice
Love this post by Tom :: http://tomtunguz.com/apprenticeship/
I think our fast moving tech industry gets so caught up in the hustle and quick wins that we forget it takes time to acquire knowledge. I have always felt that one of the best ways to acquire knowledge is to absorb it from someone who is an expert and who is willing to teach you.
This is what I call being an apprentice. It’s not something to be ashamed of you and any one should jump at the opportunity to be an apprentice.
Take pride in it.
I consider myself one.
