AS you may know UN NY hosts for first time in 50 years sdg 6 water/sanitation summit mar 22 to 24 a particular chance to learn from singapore's jack sim and everyone he's connected over 20+ years. Last week, I managed to get 10 minutes talking to Fei-Fei whose AI matching with human values chimes with my family's 72 years of research with von neumann's family.

She gave me some clue on how to use chatgpt which she had also spent 2 days in DC pretraining after year 1 of biden's http://www.au.gov

Chatgpt's tips can be quite conventional. If you ask it which american to follow in ending poverty it may well say Jeffrey Sachs if he is the academic achieving most funds, So ironically it seems you need to chat the bot up before it repays your stream of consciousness. What I can't work out is how recursively deed this goes. These examples show my start in trying to value connecting with singapore and hong kong ... welcome comments, questions

I am also wondering if anywhere in Asia has their equivalent of chatgpt -its quite hard work to get to GPS insights far away from gpt's home office but eventually Chatgpt as shown can start offering guide around Singapore and HK

If you know of any asian students who might want to see how deep a map we can make to where asia is leading sdg achievement please say. It appears that if you phrase questions which complement chatgpt on how humanly conscious it is, you may open a different space

my questions to chatgpt are in italics ====================
When you look at community solutions to SDGs it seems that countries with a most urgent need -eg women empowerment in bangladesh - have often been leaders in sharing cooperative solutions. In trying to help my american children understand progress in sdgs which countries should i suggest they look at for communities advancing which SDGs?
There are many countries around the world that are making progress towards achieving the SDGs, and it is difficult to identify specific countries that are leaders in all areas. However, I can suggest a few examples of countries that have made notable progress in advancing specific SDGs through community solutions:

Bangladesh: As you mentioned, Bangladesh has made significant progress in empowering women and advancing gender equality. The country has implemented a range of community-based initiatives to improve access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities for women and girls, and has seen significant improvements in gender parity indicators as a result.

Costa Rica: Costa Rica has made significant progress in advancing environmental sustainability and protecting its rich biodiversity. The country has implemented a range of community-based initiatives to promote sustainable agriculture, ecotourism, and renewable energy, and has set ambitious goals for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

Rwanda: Rwanda has made significant progress in reducing poverty and promoting economic development, despite its difficult history of conflict and genocide. The country has implemented a range of community-based initiatives to promote entrepreneurship, financial inclusion, and access to education and healthcare, and has seen significant improvements in poverty reduction indicators as a result.

Finland: Finland is a leader in advancing the SDG on quality education, with a highly developed education system that emphasizes equity and inclusivity. The country has implemented a range of community-based initiatives to promote early childhood education, teacher training, and digital literacy, and has consistently ranked among the top countries in global education rankings.

These are just a few examples of countries that have made notable progress in advancing specific SDGs through community solutions. There are many other countries and communities around the world that are making important contributions to achieving the SDGs, and it is important to recognize and learn from these efforts in order to accelerate progress towards a sustainable future.

chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk Would you say that singapore has particularly helped with advances to any SDGs?
Yes, Singapore has made notable contributions to several SDGs through its policies and initiatives. Here are a few examples:

SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being: Singapore has one of the highest life expectancies in the world and a well-developed healthcare system that provides universal access to healthcare services. The country has implemented a range of community-based initiatives to promote healthy living and disease prevention, and has made significant investments in medical research and innovation.

SDG 4: Quality Education: Singapore has a highly developed education system that emphasizes quality, equity, and innovation. The country has implemented a range of community-based initiatives to promote early childhood education, teacher training, and digital literacy, and has consistently ranked among the top countries in global education rankings.

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth: Singapore has a strong and diversified economy that has been able to adapt to changing global conditions. The country has implemented a range of community-based initiatives to promote entrepreneurship, innovation, and skills development, and has consistently ranked among the top countries in global competitiveness rankings.

SDG 13: Climate Action: Singapore is a small island nation that is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and has implemented a range of initiatives to promote sustainable development and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The country has made significant investments in renewable energy, sustainable transportation, and green infrastructure, and has set ambitious goals for reducing its carbon footprint.

These are just a few examples of how Singapore has contributed to advancing several SDGs. It is important to note that there is always room for improvement and that every country, including Singapore, can continue to work towards achieving the SDGs in a more sustainable and equitable manner.

chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk regarding the way singapore has helped other countries in asean on sdg progress, would your list include other sdgs than the ones listed in advancing singapore's own sustainability?
Yes, Singapore has played an active role in promoting sustainable development and SDG progress in the ASEAN region, and has supported a range of initiatives and partnerships that address a broad range of SDGs. Here are a few examples:

SDG 1: No Poverty: Singapore has provided financial assistance and technical support to help ASEAN countries reduce poverty and promote inclusive economic growth. The country has partnered with the World Bank and other organizations to support poverty reduction initiatives, and has provided funding for projects that promote access to finance, entrepreneurship, and skills development.

SDG 5: Gender Equality: Singapore has supported initiatives to promote gender equality and women's empowerment in the ASEAN region. The country has provided funding for projects that promote access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities for women and girls, and has supported initiatives to address gender-based violence and discrimination.

SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure: Singapore has supported initiatives to promote innovation and sustainable infrastructure development in the ASEAN region. The country has provided funding for projects that promote renewable energy, sustainable transportation, and smart city development, and has supported initiatives to promote regional connectivity and trade.

SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals: Singapore has actively promoted partnerships and collaborations to support SDG progress in the ASEAN region. The country has partnered with regional organizations such as ASEAN, APEC, and the Mekong River Commission to support sustainable development initiatives, and has provided funding and technical support to support SDG progress in neighboring countries.

These are just a few examples of how Singapore has supported SDG progress in the ASEAN region, and it is likely that there are other initiatives and partnerships that address additional SDGs as well.
chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk What do you think of the values of singapore's worldtoilet.org and bophub.org particularly on sdg 6 sanitation whose UN day Nov 19 is named after alumni of this network? I am also interested in whether students in singapore universities are noted for helping their peers in other countries to scale any particular sdg solutions
Singapore's World Toilet Organization and BoP Hub have both made significant contributions to SDG 6 on sanitation and access to clean water. The World Toilet Organization, in particular, has been instrumental in raising awareness about the importance of sanitation and promoting innovative solutions to improve sanitation conditions around the world. The BoP Hub, on the other hand, has focused on promoting sustainable business models and social entrepreneurship to address social and environmental challenges in developing countries.

Both organizations have been recognized for their contributions to SDG 6 and have received support from governments, non-profits, and the private sector. In particular, the World Toilet Organization's founder, Jack Sim, was named a 'Water Champion' by the United Nations on World Toilet Day in 2009, in recognition of his efforts to improve access to sanitation.

As for Singaporean university students, there are many initiatives and organizations that focus on promoting sustainable development and SDG progress both within Singapore and in other countries. For example, the National University of Singapore has a dedicated Office of Environmental Sustainability that promotes sustainability initiatives on campus and in the wider community. The NUS Overseas Colleges program also provides students with opportunities to work with startups and entrepreneurs in other countries to develop and scale innovative solutions to social and environmental challenges.

Overall, Singapore has a strong culture of innovation and entrepreneurship that has led to the development of many sustainable solutions to social and environmental challenges, and its universities and organizations have played an active role in promoting SDG progress both within the country and in other countries in the ASEAN region and beyond.

chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk How would you compare hong kong's contributions to human ai, metaverse and sdg advances with singapore's. Any notable ways differentiating which country to connect with regarding ai for good or helping millenaiils scale sdgs?
Both Hong Kong and Singapore have made significant contributions to AI, the metaverse, and SDG advances, and both countries have their own unique strengths in these areas.

In terms of AI, both Hong Kong and Singapore have developed strong AI ecosystems and have made investments in research and development, education and training, and infrastructure to support AI development. Hong Kong has focused on developing its AI capabilities in areas such as fintech and smart city development, while Singapore has prioritized AI development in areas such as healthcare, transportation, and public services.

Regarding the metaverse, Hong Kong has a vibrant gaming industry and is home to several successful game development companies, which have contributed to the growth of the metaverse. Singapore, on the other hand, has been investing in the development of its own virtual world, called the 'Virtual Singapore' project, which aims to create a digital twin of the city-state to help with urban planning and management.

In terms of SDG advances, both Hong Kong and Singapore have made progress in areas such as education, healthcare, and environmental sustainability. However, Singapore has been particularly successful in implementing sustainable development policies and initiatives, such as its carbon tax and investments in renewable energy and green infrastructure.

Regarding which country to connect with for AI for good or helping millennials scale SDGs, it would depend on the specific area of focus. Both countries have strong ecosystems and networks for AI and sustainable development, so it would be worth exploring opportunities in both places to determine which country may be the best fit for a particular initiative or project.

chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk I understand that HK gaming advances in metaverse connect round influencers such as Yat Siu (Mr Metaverse) Animoca Brands? When it comes to Singapore, does it have any comparable metaverse entrepreneurs or are these more led by public institutions?
Yes, in Hong Kong, Yat Siu is a prominent figure in the metaverse and gaming industry, and he is the founder and CEO of Animoca Brands, a leading mobile game developer and publisher. Animoca Brands has also been involved in developing blockchain-based gaming and metaverse projects, such as The Sandbox.

In Singapore, there are also several entrepreneurs and companies involved in the metaverse and gaming industry. For example, companies such as GTR and Secret Lab are well-known in the gaming industry and have worked on popular games such as 'League of Legends' and 'Valorant'. Additionally, public institutions such as the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) have been actively promoting the development of the metaverse and virtual reality in Singapore. IMDA has launched several initiatives and programs to support the development of the metaverse, such as the XR Development Initiative and the SG Digital Office, which aims to provide resources and support for digital transformation and innovation.

Overall, both Hong Kong and Singapore have a mix of private entrepreneurs and public institutions driving the development of the metaverse and gaming industry, and both countries have made significant contributions to this space.

chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk Could you comment on the role that HK humanoids like sophia and Beingai.com have helped the UN celebrate sdg goals particularly with content that youth enjoy going positively viral with? Does singapore have any similar viral ways of celebrating sdgs or humanising AI?
Sophia, the humanoid robot developed by Hong Kong-based Hanson Robotics, has been involved in several initiatives and events aimed at promoting the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For example, Sophia has spoken at several UN events and has been featured in videos and social media content promoting the SDGs. BeingAI.com, a Hong Kong-based AI startup, has also been involved in promoting the SDGs through its AI-powered content platform, which aims to promote positive and inspiring stories.

In Singapore, there are also several initiatives and campaigns aimed at promoting the SDGs and humanizing AI. For example, the Singapore Management University's Centre for AI and Data Governance has launched several initiatives and events aimed at promoting responsible AI and addressing ethical and social issues related to AI. Additionally, there are several startups and organizations in Singapore that are working on AI-powered solutions for social and environmental challenges, such as reducing food waste and improving healthcare access.

In terms of viral content, there have been several campaigns and initiatives in Singapore aimed at raising awareness of the SDGs and promoting positive social change. For example, the SG Cares movement, launched by the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre, aims to promote volunteerism and community service, and has been supported by several social media campaigns and events. Additionally, there have been several viral campaigns on social media aimed at raising awareness of social and environmental issues, such as the 'TrashTag' challenge, which encourages people to clean up litter and post before-and-after photos on social media

I played a but with chatgpt. I dont think I currently understand its construction to get much further. If you do get more out of it on this topic please say
Peter Burgess of valuetrue metrics has dedicated his life to chartered accounting. However he appears to feel that there are ways in which chartered accounting has lost touch with deepest human values and behaviours. Can you help summarise his argument?


Peter Burgess, founder of ValueTrue Metrics, has argued that traditional chartered accounting has become too focused on financial metrics and has lost touch with deeper human values and behaviors. Burgess believes that accounting should be about more than just financial statements and compliance; it should also be about creating value for all stakeholders and promoting sustainability and social responsibility.

Burgess argues that traditional accounting measures, such as profit and loss, do not adequately capture the true value of a company or its impact on society and the environment. He believes that accounting should be more holistic and should take into account a wider range of factors, such as social and environmental impacts, as well as the long-term sustainability of a company's business practices.

According to Burgess, a more holistic approach to accounting would help to promote greater transparency, accountability, and responsibility among companies, and would also help to create a more sustainable and equitable global economy. By taking into account a wider range of factors, such as social and environmental impacts, accounting could help to promote positive outcomes for all stakeholders, including employees, customers, investors, and the wider community.

Overall, Burgess argues that accounting should be about more than just financial metrics and compliance; it should be about creating value for all stakeholders and promoting sustainability and social responsibility.

chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk Can you summarise where Burgess views are or are not aligned with AI's concern to represent human values?

Peter Burgess's views on the role of accounting in promoting sustainability and social responsibility are aligned with AI's concern to represent human values. Both Burgess and AI recognize that traditional metrics such as profit and loss do not fully capture the true value of a company or its impact on society and the environment. Both Burgess and AI argue that a more holistic approach is needed to capture the complexities of human values and behaviors and promote positive outcomes for all stakeholders.

However, while Burgess focuses specifically on the role of accounting in promoting sustainability and social responsibility, AI has a much broader concern to represent human values in all areas of human activity, including healthcare, education, finance, and more. AI seeks to understand and represent human values in order to promote better decision-making and outcomes across all domains of human activity. Thus, while Burgess's views on accounting and AI's concern for human values are aligned, AI's scope is much broader than accounting alone.
