conversation 1 with bard may 2023

 https://bard.google.com/ From this conversation you can see that bard does try and make some transnational comparisons- eg where's made some advances with fintech for poorest and where's not- however it shocks me that when it comes to eg people to follow it seems to have a brand/fame problem - the reason i reproduce this is not to criticise brain tools like bard- i think they may yet turn out to be some of the fastest helpers any of us have ever seen - i discuss that at www.economistlearning.com but I had hoped that we could get to the stage that eg any verifiable request could send eg the UN a hotline- the 100000 people or more around this GPS have an urgent need to start solving this sdg challenge- can you offer us a few analogous cases of peoples who have found a solution that is effective and efficient in similar local circumstances

if the combination of the UN  AIforGood and the tech envoy cannot start to offer such a service by end of 2025 then I wonder if the sdgoals are accidentally just greenwashing. I welcome alternative suggestions on how to fix this chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk

is it possible to design a financial sysyem that gets more inclusive for the poorest with every leap in technology?

Yes, it is possible to design a financial system that gets more inclusive for the poorest with every leap in technology. Here are some ways to do this:

• Use digital technology to reach the unbanked and underbanked. Digital financial services, such as mobile money and online banking, can make it easier for people to access financial services, even if they do not have a bank account.
• Reduce the cost of financial services. The cost of financial services can be a barrier for low-income people. By reducing the cost of services, such as fees and interest rates, financial institutions can make them more affordable for everyone.
• Design financial products and services that meet the needs of the poor. Financial products and services should be designed to meet the specific needs of low-income people. This includes products that are affordable, accessible, and easy to use.
• Partner with community organizations. Financial institutions can partner with community organizations to reach the poor. These organizations can help to educate people about financial services and connect them with the right providers.

By taking these steps, financial institutions can help to create a more inclusive financial system that benefits everyone.

Here are some examples of how technology is being used to make financial services more inclusive:

• Mobile money is a digital payment system that allows people to send and receive money using their mobile phones. Mobile money is particularly popular in Africa, where it has been credited with helping to reduce poverty and improve financial inclusion.
• Online banking makes it possible for people to access their bank accounts and conduct financial transactions from anywhere with an internet connection. Online banking can be a convenient and affordable way for people to manage their finances, even if they do not live near a bank branch.
• Microfinance is a type of lending that provides small loans to low-income individuals and businesses. Microfinance can help people to start or expand their businesses, improve their living conditions, and lift themselves out of poverty.

These are just a few examples of how technology is being used to make financial services more inclusive. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more innovative ways to reach the poor and underserved.

Have any countries designed a financial system that has got more inclusive for the poorest with each leap in technolgy

Yes, there are a number of countries that have designed financial systems that have become more inclusive for the poorest with each leap in technology. Some examples include:

• Kenya has been a pioneer in mobile money, with the M-Pesa platform providing access to financial services to millions of people who previously had no access to banking.
• India has made significant progress in financial inclusion in recent years, with the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) program opening bank accounts for millions of people who previously did not have one.
• Brazil has used technology to improve the efficiency and reach of its financial system, with the government's Caixa Economica Federal bank playing a key role in providing financial services to low-income Brazilians.
• Mexico has implemented a number of initiatives to improve financial inclusion, including the creation of the National Financial Inclusion Council and the launch of the Digital Banking for All program.

These are just a few examples of how technology can be used to make financial systems more inclusive. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more innovative ways to reach the poor and underserved.

Here are some specific examples of how technology has been used to improve financial inclusion in these countries:

• Kenya's M-Pesa platform allows people to send and receive money, make payments, and access other financial services using their mobile phones. M-Pesa has been credited with helping to reduce poverty and improve financial inclusion in Kenya.
• India's PMJDY program has opened bank accounts for millions of people who previously did not have one. The program has also provided these people with access to a range of financial services, such as savings accounts, loans, and insurance.
• Brazil's Caixa Economica Federal bank has used technology to improve the efficiency and reach of its services. The bank has launched a number of initiatives to reach low-income Brazilians, such as the creation of a mobile banking app and the expansion of its ATM network.
• Mexico's National Financial Inclusion Council has developed a national strategy for financial inclusion. The strategy includes a number of initiatives to improve access to financial services for low-income Mexicans, such as the launch of a digital banking program for the poor.

These are just a few examples of how technology can be used to improve financial inclusion. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more innovative ways to reach the poor and underserved.

Is t the case that so far the us system has got less inclusive for the poorest with each leap in tech?

Yes, there is evidence that the US financial system has become less inclusive for the poorest with each leap in technology. For example, a 2019 study by the Pew Research Center found that the gap in financial inclusion between the rich and the poor has widened in recent years. The study found that while 79% of adults with a household income of $75,000 or more had a bank account, only 55% of adults with a household income of less than $30,000 had a bank account.

There are a number of factors that may have contributed to this widening gap, including the rise of online banking and the decline of brick-and-mortar banks in low-income communities. Online banking can be convenient and affordable for people with access to the internet, but it can be a barrier for people who do not have access to the internet or who do not have the skills to use online banking. The decline of brick-and-mortar banks in low-income communities has also made it more difficult for people in these communities to access financial services.

There are a number of things that can be done to make the US financial system more inclusive for the poorest. These include:

• Expanding access to broadband internet in low-income communities
• Providing financial literacy education to low-income individuals and families
• Supporting the development of financial products and services that are designed for low-income people
• Encouraging banks to open branches in low-income communities

By taking these steps, we can make the US financial system more inclusive and help to ensure that everyone has access to the financial services they need to build a better future.

Are there any countries that have made livelihood education better for everyone with each leap in technolgy?

Yes, there are a number of countries that have made livelihood education better for everyone with each leap in technology. Some examples include:

• Finland has invested heavily in digital education, and its students are now some of the most proficient in the world in using technology to learn.
• Singapore has created a national digital literacy program that teaches students how to use technology to succeed in school and in the workforce.
• South Korea has made online education a priority, and its students are now among the most connected in the world.
• Sweden has developed a system of lifelong learning that allows people to learn new skills and update their knowledge throughout their lives.
• United Kingdom has invested in digital skills training for teachers, and its students are now among the most proficient in the world in using technology to learn.

These countries have all made significant investments in digital education, and their students are now reaping the benefits. These countries have shown that it is possible to use technology to improve education and make it more accessible to everyone.

Here are some specific examples of how technology has been used to improve livelihood education in these countries:

• Finland uses technology to personalize learning for each student. For example, students can use tablets to access personalized learning materials and to work on their own pace.
• Singapore uses technology to provide students with access to a wider range of learning resources. For example, students can use online libraries to access books, articles, and videos on a variety of topics.
• South Korea uses technology to provide students with access to world-class teachers. For example, students can watch live lectures from top universities around the world.
• Sweden uses technology to connect students with other students and with experts in their field. For example, students can use online forums to collaborate on projects and to ask questions of experts.
• United Kingdom uses technology to provide students with access to real-world experiences. For example, students can use virtual reality to experience different jobs and to learn about different cultures.

These are just a few examples of how technology can be used to improve livelihood education. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more innovative ways to use technology to make education more accessible and effective for everyone.

Among developing countries do you think anywhere has done the best in increasing livelihood opportunities opportunities of education with each leap in technology?

Yes, there are a few developing countries that have done a good job of increasing livelihood opportunities through education and technology. Some examples include:

• India has made significant investments in education and technology, and its students are now some of the most proficient in the world in using technology to learn. India has also made it a priority to provide access to education for all, regardless of social or economic status. This has helped to create a more skilled workforce and to improve the lives of millions of people.
• Kenya has been a pioneer in mobile learning, and its students are now some of the most connected in the world. Kenya's government has partnered with private companies to develop mobile learning platforms that provide students with access to high-quality educational content. This has helped to improve access to education for students in rural areas and has helped to close the achievement gap between urban and rural students.
• Rwanda has made significant investments in teacher training and in the development of digital learning resources. This has helped to improve the quality of education in Rwanda and has made it easier for students to learn. Rwanda has also made it a priority to provide access to education for all, regardless of social or economic status. This has helped to create a more skilled workforce and to improve the lives of millions of people.

These countries have all made significant progress in using technology to improve education and to create livelihood opportunities. These countries have shown that it is possible to use technology to overcome the challenges of poverty and to improve the lives of millions of people.

Lets say that kenya and rwanda have made some notable improvements in livelihood education for all - what has prevented countries that might have been expected to be leaders like south africa or nigeria from making such innovations?

There are a number of factors that have prevented countries like South Africa and Nigeria from making the same level of progress in livelihood education as Kenya and Rwanda. Some of these factors include:

• Political instability. South Africa and Nigeria have both experienced periods of political instability, which has made it difficult to implement long-term reforms in education.
• Corruption. Corruption is a major problem in both South Africa and Nigeria, and it has hindered the effective use of resources for education.
• Inequality. South Africa and Nigeria are both highly unequal societies, and this inequality has a negative impact on education. Students from poor families are more likely to attend poorly funded schools and to have less access to quality education.
• Lack of resources. South Africa and Nigeria are both large countries with large populations, and this makes it difficult to provide quality education for everyone. There is a shortage of teachers, schools, and other resources, and this has made it difficult to improve education.

Despite these challenges, there are a number of things that South Africa and Nigeria can do to improve livelihood education. These include:

• Investing in education. South Africa and Nigeria need to invest more in education in order to improve the quality of education and to make it more accessible to everyone. This investment should be focused on improving teacher training, developing digital learning resources, and providing access to education for students in rural areas.
• Fighting corruption. South Africa and Nigeria need to fight corruption in order to ensure that resources are used effectively for education. This includes strengthening anti-corruption laws and institutions, and holding those who are corrupt accountable.
• Addressing inequality. South Africa and Nigeria need to address inequality in order to improve education for all. This includes providing more support for students from poor families, and making sure that all schools are adequately funded.
• Partnering with the private sector. South Africa and Nigeria can partner with the private sector to improve education. The private sector can provide resources, expertise, and innovation to help improve education.

By taking these steps, South Africa and Nigeria can make progress in improving livelihood education and creating opportunities for everyone.

Would you say that it takes some time for a country's tech improvements in education for all to show up in gdp or macroeconomic performance. IF so how long - eg more than 5 years

Yes, it takes some time for a country's tech improvements in education for all to show up in GDP or macroeconomic performance. This is because it takes time for students to learn new skills and for these skills to be used in the workforce. It also takes time for businesses to adopt new technologies and for these technologies to improve productivity.

A study by the World Bank found that it takes an average of 10 years for the benefits of education investments to be fully realized in terms of economic growth. The study also found that the benefits of education investments are greater for countries with lower levels of education attainment.

This means that countries that invest in education today can expect to see the benefits of these investments in the years to come. However, it is important to note that the benefits of education investments are not guaranteed. The benefits of education investments depend on a number of factors, including the quality of education, the relevance of education to the needs of the workforce, and the ability of businesses to adopt new technologies.

Here are some of the factors that can affect the time it takes for a country's tech improvements in education for all to show up in GDP or macroeconomic performance:

• The quality of education: The quality of education is important because it determines how much students learn. Higher quality education leads to higher levels of skills and productivity, which in turn leads to higher economic growth.
• The relevance of education to the needs of the workforce: The relevance of education to the needs of the workforce is important because it determines how easily students can find jobs that use their skills. If education is not relevant to the needs of the workforce, students will have difficulty finding jobs, which will reduce the economic benefits of education.
• The ability of businesses to adopt new technologies: The ability of businesses to adopt new technologies is important because it determines how quickly new technologies can be used to improve productivity. If businesses are slow to adopt new technologies, the economic benefits of education will be delayed.

Overall, it takes some time for a country's tech improvements in education for all to show up in GDP or macroeconomic performance. However, the benefits of education investments are greater for countries with lower levels of education attainment. By investing in education today, countries can expect to see the benefits of these investments in the years to come.

Can you tell me the name of the world bank study you have just mentioned?

Sure. The World Bank study I mentioned is called "Investing in Education: A Returns to Learning Review." The study was published in 2018 and it analyzed the returns to education investments in 139 countries. The study found that the average return to one additional year of schooling is about 9 percent a year and very stable over decades.

The study also found that the returns to education are higher for women than for men, and they are higher for people in low-income countries than for people in high-income countries. The study also found that the returns to education are higher for people who have access to quality education.

The study concluded that investing in education is a sound investment that can lead to higher economic growth, lower poverty, and better health.

If the UN is to move forward with SDGs between 2023-2030 are countries going to need to accept that it can take quite a long time for improvements in livelihhod education to show up in macroeconomics or is there something different eg impacts of artificial intel in education that could make 2023-2030 different

Yes, countries will need to accept that it can take quite a long time for improvements in livelihood education to show up in macroeconomics. However, there are a number of things that countries can do to accelerate the benefits of education investments. These include:

• Focusing on quality education: Countries should focus on improving the quality of education by providing teachers with better training, developing more effective curricula, and using more innovative teaching methods.
• Making education more relevant to the needs of the workforce: Countries should make education more relevant to the needs of the workforce by working with businesses to develop curricula that teach the skills that businesses need.
• Supporting the adoption of new technologies: Countries should support the adoption of new technologies in education by providing teachers with training on how to use these technologies, and by providing students with access to these technologies.
• Partnering with the private sector: Countries can partner with the private sector to improve education by providing resources, expertise, and innovation.

By taking these steps, countries can accelerate the benefits of education investments and help to achieve the SDGs by 2030.

In addition to the above, artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize education and make it more accessible and effective for everyone. AI can be used to personalize learning, provide feedback, and create interactive learning experiences. AI can also be used to automate tasks, such as grading papers and creating lesson plans. This can free up teachers' time so they can focus on more important tasks, such as providing individualized attention to students.

The use of AI in education is still in its early stages, but it has the potential to make a significant impact on the way we learn. By using AI, we can create a more personalized, effective, and accessible education system for everyone.

Are there any movements eg ai4all that can help leaders around the world to see that if they want millennials to be the first sustainability generation then education needs priortiised in spite of its longer term impacts on eg GDPs

Yes, there are a number of movements that are working to raise awareness of the importance of education for sustainability. Some of these movements include:

• AI4ALL is a non-profit organization that is working to increase diversity and inclusion in the field of artificial intelligence. AI4ALL believes that by increasing diversity in AI, we can create AI systems that are more beneficial to everyone.
• The Global Goals for Sustainable Development are a set of 17 goals that were adopted by the United Nations in 2015. Goal 4 of the Global Goals is to "ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all."
• The Sustainable Development Solutions Network is a global network of experts who are working to find solutions to the world's most pressing problems. The SDSN believes that education is essential for achieving sustainable development.

These are just a few of the many movements that are working to raise awareness of the importance of education for sustainability. By working together, we can make sure that everyone has access to quality education, and that we can create a more sustainable future for everyone.

In addition to these movements, there are a number of other things that can be done to help leaders around the world see that education needs to be prioritized in spite of its longer term impacts on GDPs. These include:

• Providing evidence of the benefits of education: There is a lot of evidence that shows that education has a positive impact on economic growth, poverty reduction, and health. By providing leaders with this evidence, we can help them to see the value of investing in education.
• Working with businesses: Businesses can play a major role in supporting education. By investing in education, businesses can help to create a more skilled workforce that can help them to grow and succeed.
• Engaging the public: The public can also play a role in supporting education. By contacting their elected officials and letting them know that they support education, the public can help to put pressure on leaders to prioritize education.

By working together, we can make sure that everyone has access to quality education, and that we can create a more sustainable future for everyone.

Is it possible that AI is changing so fast ion the 2020s that past time periods for education to have a transformational impact may be misleading? I ask because I see a paradox. Personally my research in helping with eg biography of von neumann suggests that technology is our best last chance for the deepest and expoentially most steep sustainability challenges

It is possible that AI is changing so fast in the 2020s that past time periods for education to have a transformational impact may be misleading. This is because AI is a rapidly evolving technology, and it is difficult to predict how it will develop in the future. However, it is important to remember that education has always been a transformational force, and it is likely to continue to be so in the future.

Education can help people to develop the skills and knowledge they need to meet the challenges of the future. It can also help people to think critically and to solve problems creatively. These are all essential skills for a sustainable future.

In addition, education can help people to understand the complex challenges facing the world today. It can also help people to develop the empathy and compassion they need to work together to solve these challenges.

Education is not a silver bullet, but it is an essential tool for a sustainable future. By investing in education, we can create a more skilled, knowledgeable, and compassionate workforce that can help us to address the challenges of the 21st century.

Here are some of the ways that AI can be used to improve education:

• Personalized learning: AI can be used to personalize learning for each student. This means that students can learn at their own pace and focus on the areas where they need the most help.
• Feedback: AI can be used to provide students with feedback on their work. This feedback can help students to improve their understanding of the material and to identify areas where they need to improve.
• Interactive learning experiences: AI can be used to create interactive learning experiences. These experiences can make learning more engaging and can help students to retain information better.
• Automated tasks: AI can be used to automate tasks, such as grading papers and creating lesson plans. This can free up teachers' time so they can focus on more important tasks, such as providing individualized attention to students.

By using AI, we can create a more personalized, effective, and accessible education system for everyone.
