r million youth are most going to change the world for the better need to be connected by some missing curricula which 2013 needs to make massive open online
I am confident you can all edit deep cases on parts of dads/The Economist's 7 wonders curriculum of pro-youth economics
like millions of young people. I spent several years believing today's person whose network could best link together the first missing curriculum million youth most needed to simultaneously access was dr yunus, but by now I find it needs to be sir fazle abed (BRAC) first, then yunus 2 monicawww.singforhope.org then 1 muhammad
If we viralise a 6 week MOOC introduction tour to all the knowledge sir fazle wants to open source
then we can turn round communities anywhere that any of the 7 global markets shown is currently spinning exponentially towards collapse
What doesn't amuse (even frightens) me is in 1984 dad wrote a book (12 years after we'd first seen tests on 500 youth sharing knowledge around an early digital network) on how to connect these 7 markets positively which was very simple then -there's no reason 2010s shouldn't already be worldwide youth's most exciting job creating decade other than totally wrong maths and the wrong sort of economists and media barons keynes warned us of in his conclusion to general theory
now 30 years of spinning systems in speculators highly conflicted, job destroying, fear-addiction instead of joyful freedom and planet unsustainable directions,
I think we are down to collaborating around sir fazle as our last chance- anyhow that's what I will try to go over to dhaka and explain to him
-of course I am very glad if there are other ways but I cant find any economists or professions who are valuing things with what I believe is dads correct maths so although I share his optimistic nature, the risks of not helping sir fazle and million youth MOOC now are larger than I can verbalise

Dear A&A
I am spending quite a bit of february in boston and wondered if we can meet. One issue I would like to put on the agenda -can a mooc on mit100k be developed?
My father at The Economist and I first saw 500 students sharing knowhow around a digital network in 1972! so I am not particularly fazed by which internet term becomes flavor of a year. But if you try www.coursera.com it becomes evident: the basic ingredient of a Massive Open Online Curriculum/Collaboration is a slide show with a parralel youtube in bottom right hand corner giving a tour of the sides. So anyone with great collaboration knowhow to share with net generation can be a MOOC provider.
Friends I and a swarm of youth entreprenjeurs have arranged to debate this in dhaka with sir fazle abed and muhhamad yunus in last week of march 2013. If that goes well, one of them will chat with usaid to include this topic in the first global education summit they are aranging for aug 2013 out of washington dc
As I think youth development entrepreneur competitions and moocs go together in transforming education- especially if we are to value million times more collaboration technology sustainably and for all youth to be productive- it could be huge to start up a set of slides on mit100k selected so that it could progressively become a mooc as a you tube guided tour was added to them
Obviously you have the most uptodate knowledge and relationship permissions to start this up. I wonder which of Edward Roberts, Iqbal Quadir, Berners Lee, Joi Ito or Negropronte or someone else would be next to get on board with this idea so that all the most pro-youth MIT alumni networks are first to build with it
..
have you tried www.coursera.com ?- biggest change in 40 years since dad (The Economist's Norman Macrae) and i first saw 500 youth sharing knowledge around a digital network..now anyone with a set of slides that shows how collaboration with them can most change the world can get linked in to job-creating education, mentoring hopefully be star players in free university - a fascinating question to explore is which mooc will first connect a million youth live-
.help us compile 2014's 41st top 10 league table of moocs designed to empower youth job creation - note the subject catalytic mechanism (now mooc) has changed over the years but not our Entrepreneurial Revolution passion since we first saw 500 youth sharing knowhow around a digital network in 1972

ss how each 1 new media destroys the commons and real community unless there is a context specific audit of the media's purspoe which is designed to have more impact and consequence on actions than any metrics used to guage profitability
then dicsuss same challenge for 2 new education system (eg testing children by multichoice questions)
then re-read last 5 pages of keynes general theory -and discuss chalenge for each new economic ideology that becomes top in the way public servants try to manage their re-election
because inhternational scots treasure their releationship networks "clans" 6 generations of my famkily have been involved in pieces of this curriculum - exercise go back down your family tree and identify one person who may have a story to tell relevant to sustaining such qualities of community as freedom , transparency, cross-cultural conflict resolution, market access to selling your family's produce or perpetuating its unqiuely useful knowledge
for example community building roles played by different members included keeping diaries and journalising exploration (ie questions before answers), missions sharing knowhow between rich and poor (or unlinkedin) world locations, mediating, economics, british consul in very dangerous places for people to be eg in moscow at heoght of stalin's purges or at least red sea prort jews used to exit europe before hitler tried to close it down, a spy for the resistanc, maths and system designs, weekly community leader of the free kirk engaged in negotiation rights of passage needed for half of scots to emigrate between 1700 and 1850, dilaogues on the most exciting purpose the net generation could colaboarte around for each trillion dolar market category grounded as a service that multiplied sustainability through 2 million global villages - see 2024 report book which is now in its 30th year of helping youth to feed such dialogue

ragedy my dad wrote up in The Economist in 1984Dad started the survey asking would anyone like to network round 8 times lower cost better quality health service.? He was being a bit cheeky as he had 3 double or nothing multipliers in mind which his experience in diarising national health services from their date of birth led him to expect would systemically spin each other:1 if we didnt turn round how this market had lost its hi-trust freedoms and collaborations at every community level, then health would double its costs again wherever the politics is led by old peoples agendas to the exclusion of youth; and this would likely bankrupt previously richest nations leaving their youth with less and less good jobs2 with the coming of the internet, why wouldnt people mobilise first around:such living apps as *bringing down degrees of separation in sharing life saving informationmobile apps like MIT'ss where you can take your pulse by looking into your smartphone and bangladesh's partnership with GE to give the poorest village mums mobile ultrasound; telemedicine's greatest community broadband quests like arkansas is bravely exploringFREE NURSING COLLEGES3 with tens of millions of vacancies for nurses and community health carers, why not make the first mooc that which brings down cost of training 21st C nurses to near zero whilst celebrating these community-most-trusted heroines the way the opening of the london olympics didSo can you help us make a checklist of where did the tragedy of the commons block the net generation from enjoying 8 times more economic health services -eg 1 lobbyists as commonsbusterschris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk skype chrismacraedc co-blog YouthCreativeLab…

ctices for the use of technology in exchanges, and coordinating major initiatives like Education Diplomacy. The Collaboratory also works to advance new work methods that allow State Department teams to better perform in today's networked world.
Some of the Collaboratory’s current projects include:
The design and coordination of the MOOC Camp initiative where 205 courses have been taken by 4500+ students at over 65 Embassies and Consulates around the world.
Supplying the first class of Mandela Washington Fellow alumni with virtual engagement toolkits, enabling them to develop virtual and on-the-ground programs using the Internet in low-bandwidth areas, as well as managing regional Connect Camps to drive innovation and social change.
Organizing internal workshops to advance new work methods that allow State Department teams to better perform in today's networked world.
The Collaboratory also has worked on adding virtual components to existing ECA programs, such as the Fulbright Program and International Visitor Leadership Programs, to increase their impact. These virtual exchanges extend the connections made before, during, and after traditional exchange programs; encourages project collaboration among exchange participants; and engages new communities in the United States and around the world. The virtual exchange team also explores piloting new technologies and facilitating entire virtual exchanges in circumstances where participants cannot physically take part in traditional exchanges for various reasons such as political unrest, illness, or travel restrictions.
The Collaboratory has piloted several new work practices that allow State Department teams to better perform in today's networked world, such as Design Thinking and Drop Everything and Read.
The Collaboratory also acts as a convener for the Bureau and Department, bringing together experts from the private sector, civil society, and government to collaboratively explore the frontiers of educational and cultural diplomacy. The Collaboratory team is always looking to work with other bureaus, agencies, companies, and organizations to foster partnerships, collaboration, and keep abreast of the ever-evolving field of educational and cultural diplomacy.

Abstract:
Deep learning is the leading approach to many problems in computer vision, speech recognition, NLP, and other areas. In this presentation, I will give a broad overview of deep learning. I will discuss the key reasons for its success, and the important role that scalability plays. I will also describe unsupervised learning approaches to deep learning--such as the "Google cat" result, in which a neural network learned to recognize cats by watching unlabeled YouTube videos--and discuss why this might become increasingly important. Finally, I will discuss recent trends in deep learning, and some possible future applications.
Biography:
Andrew Ng is Chief Scientist of Baidu; Chairman and Co-founder of Coursera; and an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University. In 2011 he led the development of Stanford University’s main MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) platform and also taught an online Machine Learning class to over 100,000 students, leading to the founding of Coursera. Ng’s goal is to give everyone access to a great education, for free. Today, Coursera partners with top universities to offer online courses. With over 9 million students, it is the world's largest MOOC platform. Ng also works on machine learning, with an emphasis on deep learning. He had founded and led the “Google Brain” project, which developed massive-scale deep learning algorithms. This resulted in the “cat” result, in which a massive neural network with 1 billion parameters learned from unlabeled YouTube videos to detect cats. More recently, he is working to build up Baidu Research, which is developing applications of large scale deep learning to computer vision, speech, NLP, and other areas. Recent awards include being named to the Time 100 list of the most influential people in the world; Fortune 40 under 40; and being named by students as one of the top 10 professors across Stanford University.

KERRY GLASGOWIS HUMANITY'S LAST BEST CHANCE - Join search for Sustainaabilty's Curricula
101ways-generation.docx 101 ways education can save the world WHAT IF WE DESIGNED LIFELONG LIVELIHOOD LOEARNING SO THAT so that teachers & students, parent & communities were empowered to be ahead of 100 times more tech rather than the remnants of a system that puts macihnes and their exhausts ahead of human life and nature's renewal 2016 is arguably the first time thet educatirs became front and centre to the question that Von neummn asked journalist to mediate back in 1951- what goods will peoples do with 100 times more tech per decade? It appears that while multilaterals like the Un got used in soundbite and twittering ages to claim they valued rifghts & inclusion, pubblic goods & safety, they fotgot theirUN tech twin in Genva has been practising global connectivity since 1865, that dellow Goats of V neumnn has chiared Intellectual Cooperation in the 1920s which pervesrely became the quasi trade union Unesco- it took Abedian inspired educations in 2016 ro reunite ed and tecah as well as health and trade ; 7 decades of the UN not valuing Numenn's question at its core is quite late, but if we dare graviate UN2 aeound this digital coperation question now we give the younger half if the world a chnace especially as a billion poorest women have been synchronised to deep community human development since 1970
Dear Robert - you kindly asked for a short email so that you could see if there is a CGTN anchor in east coast who might confidentially share views with my expectation of how only Asian young women cultural movements (parenting and community depth but amplified by transparent tech in life shaping markets eg health, food, nature..) can return sustainability to all of us
three of my father's main surveys in The Economist 1962-1977 explain imo where future history will take us (and so why younger half of world need friendship/sustainable adaptation with Chinese youth -both on mainland and diaspora)
1962 consider japan approved by JF Kennedy: argued good news - 2 new economic models were emerging through japan korea south and taiwan relevant to all Asia Rising (nrxt to link the whole trading/supply chains of the far east coast down through hong kong and cross-seas at singapore)
1 rural keynsianism ie 100% productivity in village first of all food security- borlaug alumni ending starvation
2 supercity costal trade models which designed hi-tech borderless sme value chains- to build a 20 million person capital or an 8 million person superport you needed the same advances in engineering - partly why this second economic model was win-win for first time since engines begun Glasgow 1760 ; potentially able to leverage tech giant leaps 100 times ahead; the big opportunity von neumann had gifted us - knowhow action networking multiply value application unlike consuming up things
1976 entrepreneurial revolution -translated into italian by prodi - argued that future globalisation big politics big corporate would need to be triangularised by community scaled sme networks- this was both how innovation advancing human lot begins and also the only way to end poverty in the sense of 21st C being such that next girl born can thrive because every community taps in diversity/safety/ valuing child and health as conditions out of which intergenerational economic growth can spring
in 1977 fathers survey of china - argued that there was now great hope that china had found the system designs that would empower a billion people to escape from extreme poverty but ultimately education of the one child generation (its tech for human capabilities) would be pivotal ( parallel 1977 survey looked at the futures of half the world's people ie east of iran)

IN MORE DETAIL TECH HUMAN EXPONENTIALS LAST CHANCE DECADE?
- we are in midst of unprecedented exponential change (dad from 1960s called death of distance) the tech legacy of von neumann (dad was his biographer due to luckily meeting him in his final years including neumann's scoping of brain science (ie ai and human i) research which he asked yale to continue in his last lecture series). Exponential risks of extinction track to mainly western top-down errors at crossroads of tech over last 60 years (as well as non transparent geonomic mapping of how to reconcile what mainly 10 white empires had monopoly done with machines 1760-1945 and embedded in finance - see eg keynes last chapter of general theory of money); so our 2020s destiny is conditioned by quite simple local time-stamped details but ones that have compounded so that root cause and consequence need exact opposite of academic silos- so I hope there are some simple mapping points we can agree sustainability and chinese anchors in particular are now urgently in the middle of
Both my fatherwww.normanmacrae.netat the economist and I (eg co-authoring 1984 book2025 report,retranslated to 1993 sweden's new vikings) have argued sustainability in early 21st c will depend mostly on how asians as 65% of humans advance and how von neumann (or moores law) 100 times more tech every decade from 1960s is valued by society and business.
My father (awarded Japan's Order of Rising Sun and one time scriptwriter for Prince Charles trips to Japan) had served as teen allied bomber command burma campaign - he therefore had google maps in his head 50 years ahead of most media people, and also believed the world needed peace (dad was only journalist at messina birth of EU ) ; from 1960 his Asian inclusion arguments were almost coincidental to Ezra Vogel who knew much more about Japan=China last 2000 years ( additionally cultural consciousness of silk road's eastern dynamics not golden rule of Western Whites) and peter drucker's view of organisational systems
(none of the 10 people at the economist my father had mentored continued his work past 1993- 2 key friends died early; then the web turned against education-journalism when west coast ventures got taken over by advertising/commerce instead of permitting 2 webs - one hi-trust educational; the other blah blah. sell sell .sex sell. viral trivial and hate politicking)
although i had worked mainly in the far east eg with unilever because of family responsibilities I never got to china until i started bumping into chinese female graduates at un launch of sdgs in 2015- I got in 8 visits to beijing -guided by them around tsinghua, china centre of globalisation, a chinese elder Ying Lowrey who had worked on smes in usa for 25 years but was not jack ma's biographer in 2015 just as his fintech models (taobao not alibaba) were empowering villagers integration into supply chains; there was a fantastic global edutech conference dec 2016 in Tsinghua region (also 3 briefings by Romano Prodi to students) that I attended connected with great womens education hero bangladesh'sfazle abed; Abed spent much of hs last decade hosting events with chinese and other asian ambassadors; unite university graduates around sdg projects the world needed in every community but which had first been massively demonstrated in asia - if you like a version of schwarzman scholars but inclusive of places linking all deepest sustainability goals challenges
and i personally feel learnt a lot from 3 people broadcasting from cgtn you and the 2 ladies liu xin and tian wei (they always seemed to do balanced interviews even in the middle of trump's hatred campaigns), through them I also became a fan of father and daughter Jin at AIIB ; i attended korea's annual general meet 2017 of aiib; it was fascinating watching bankers for 60 countries each coming up with excuses as to why they would not lead on infrastructure investments (even though the supercity economic model depends on that)
Being a diaspora scot and a mathematician borders (managers who maximise externalisation of risks) scare me; especially rise of nationalist ones ; it is pretty clear historically that london trapped most of asia in colomisdation ; then bankrupted by world war 2 rushed to independence without the un or anyone helping redesign top-down systems ; this all crashed into bangladesh the first bottom up collaboration women lab ; ironically on health, food security, education bangladesh and chinese village women empowerment depended on sharing almost every village microfranchise between 1972 and 2000 especially on last mile health networking
in dads editing of 2025 from 1984 he had called for massive human awareness by 2001 of mans biggest risk being discrepancies in incomes and expectations of rich and poor nations; he suggested that eg public broadcast media could host a reality tv end poverty entrepreneur competition just as digital media was scaling to be as impactful as mass media
that didnt happen and pretty much every mess - reactions to 9/11, failure to do ai of epidemics as priority from 2005 instead of autonomous cars, failure to end long-term carbon investments, subprime has been rooted in the west not having either government nor big corporate systems necessary to collaboratively value Asian SDG innovations especially with 5g

I am not smart enough to understand how to thread all the politics now going on but in the event that any cgtn journalist wants to chat especially in dc where we could meet I do not see humans preventing extinction without maximising chinese youth (particularly womens dreams); due to covid we lost plans japan had to relaunch value of female athletes - so this and other ways japan and china and korea might have regained joint consciousness look as if they are being lost- in other words both cultural and education networks (not correctly valued by gdp news headlines) may still be our best chance at asian women empowerment saving us all from extinction but that needs off the record brainstorming as I have no idea what a cgtn journalist is free to cover now that trump has turned 75% of americans into seeing china as the enemy instead of looking at what asian policies of usa hurt humans (eg afghanistan is surely a human wrong caused mostly by usa); a; being a diaspora scot i have this naive idea that we need to celebrate happiness of all peoples an stop using media to spiral hatred across nations but I expect that isnt something an anchor can host generally but for example if an anchor really loves ending covid everywhere then at least in that market she needs to want to help united peoples, transparency of deep data etc
