Agenda Trends in ICT and Innovation Industry view: Define Professionalism Global Professionalism Success Measures

Trends: Big Questions? Hope we're not just the biological boot loader for digital super intelligence. Unfortunately, that is increasingly probable. --Elon Musk August 3, 2014 The mind is computable. The cosmos itself may be digital. Privacy is a recent illusion. Computing is a moral activity. --Assertions Grady Booch, NSF PACE Workshop August 21, 2014 I may be working to create tools which will enable the construction of the technology that may replace our species. How do I feel about this? Very uncomfortable. --Bill Joy SRC: News releases

Trends: Big Questions? Bill Gates (REDDIT AMA 2015): Even in the next 10 problems like vision and speech understanding and translation will be very good. Mechanical robot tasks like picking fruit or moving a hospital patient will be solved. Once computers/robots get to a level of capability where seeing and moving is easy for them then they will be used very extensively. One project I am working on with Microsoft is the Personal Agent which will remember everything and help you go back and find things and help you pick what things to pay attention to. The idea that you have to find applications and pick them and they each are trying to tell you what is new is just not the efficient model - the agent will help solve this. It will work across all your devices. . I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent. That should be positive if we manage it well. A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern. I agree with Elon Musk and some others on this and don't understand why some people are not concerned.

Trends: Big Questions? The Reality: intelligent, fast, unbounded easy information Unlimited smart computational resources and connections Pervasive access & computational thinking Whatever the future, it will depend on computing Everything is recorded, nothing is forgotten Organizational, geographical boundaries disappearing Digital quake 2025 +80% companies and jobs gone? What are the economic implications? What is the social impact? What will the world look like? What are the intended and unintended consequences? Is there a need for ICT accountability, ethical conduct, credentialing EQUALS professionalism?

Trends: Big Questions? Second Machine Age : Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee Professors from MIT global economy is on the cusp of a dramatic growth spurt driven by smart machines that finally take full advantage of advances in computer processing, artificial intelligence, networked communication and the digitization of just about everything. Exponential growth: computing power, digital information, cheap IoT communicating, Big Data, unlimited speed, data recombination, ubiquity Driverless cars, cell-reported traffic patterns, robots scanning and understanding environments (Hololens), Skype language translation, computers writing reviews/resumes/grading essays Instagram: 300 million/mthly 70 million photos/videos/daily; in 18 months sold for $1B to Facebook; Kodak declares bankruptcy same month FB Market Value 219B, many times Kodak at peak; FB 7 billionaires each 10x greater wealth than George Eastman SRC: Washington Post: Steven Pearlstein http://wapo.st/1bFeuMQ ; http://blog.instagram.com/post/104847837897/141210-300million

Trends: Big Questions? Second Machine Age : Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee First machine age (Kodak), rising productivity is related to increasing employment, jobs and income Second machine age (FB), existing separately productivity from jobs/income; products/services for unlimited customers, at nil cost ------------------------------ Future need: Driving greater demand for high-level programmers; education system focussed on PROFESSIONALISM skills for smart machines Ethical conduct, accountability, credentialing, professional development, quality assurance, EQUALS ICT PROFESSIONALISM SRC: Washington Post: Steven Pearlstein http://wapo.st/1bFeuMQ

Defining Professionalism Do you feel computing should be a recognized profession on par with accounting, medicine and law with demonstrated professional development, adherence to a code of ethics, personal responsibility, public accountability, quality assurance and recognized credentials?

Defining Professionalism: IFIP IP3 IFIP: IT Profession / Accreditation based on common standards BEFORE: No consistency Failures, growing risks Poor perception Geek / Pirate? Technical features Job Skill shortages Education: STEM shortages AFTER: Professionalism Global standards Quality, Protecting Public Professionalism/Trust/Ethics Stronger voice/Common-ID Engineer /Executive Business solutions Career path Growing GDP and innovation

Motivations: Gaining Ground IT as a Profession or Professionalism Professional Development Infrastructure Support Professional Societal Influences Initial Professional Education Accreditation Skills Development Professional Society: Identity Credentials Certification Code of Ethics BOK (BODY OF KNOWLEDGE) Professional Development Professional Status SOP (STANDARDS OF PRACTICE) Based on A Mature Profession Resource: http://blogs.technet.com/cdnitmanagers/archive/2008/04/23/professionalizing-the-profession.aspx

Results: Government Recognition Prime Minister Canada: Since 1958, CIPS has represented its membership on important issues affecting the IT industry and profession. The association has promoted high ideals of competence and ethical practices through certification, accreditation programs, and professional development Your efforts have made positive and lasting contributions to Canada s economic growth and competitiveness.

ResultsIndustry Support IFIP World CIO Forum, Global CIO Joint Declarations We strive to support [the] IT Industry and professionalismof IT career. We will ensure the highest standards in our work, and with both quality and ethics CTO Toyota: [IFIP] IP3 [International Professional Practice Partnership] is the start of this kind of important global activity. This is a key acknowledgement of the importance of ethics and IT professionalism which lays the foundation for IT as a recognized profession.

ResultsIndustry Support Tan Moorthy InfoSys, GIC: Given the reach of ICT in our lives, it is important for an ICT professional to be technically strong (in order to use the right technology for the relevant problem) ethically grounded (to ensure that technology is put to the right use), socially conscious (so that the technical solution takes into consideration elements of sustainability) and business savvy (to ensure commercial viability which is required for social prosperity and funding of new developments).

ResultsIndustry Support Vint Cerf co-creator of the internet. http://bit.ly/1JqYiwK I think with the degree of software that we re surrounded by everywhere, that at some point we may be called to task for failing to do something that protects people s interests and there may be liability, and as soon as that happens I think that some point of accreditation will be inescapable

ResultsIndustry Support Roy Taylor VP AMD says YES! Roy brings a long history of highly successful innovation, entrepreneurship and strong leadership with AMD, Rightware, NVIDIA; as founder of Addtron working with semiconductor leaders such as Aureal, IBM Microelectronics, NEC, Nexgen.

ResultsIndustry Support Houlin Zhao, SG ITU Q: How might ITU promote, within its many activities, professionalism in the practice of ICT? A: In order to reach the maturity of our technologies and also reach the maturity status of our market we really need our experts, engineers and teaching meccas to show their maximum proficiency and professional skills. It s quite important for us to look at this issue and try to work with our members to increase those skills and proficiencies. http://www.itworldcanada.com/blog/houlin-zhou-from-the-international- telecommunication-union-on-the-future/373566#ixzz3ZNyeqyTL

ResultsIndustry Support Founding Pioneer ICT & Smart Cities, Bill Hutchinson: http://www.cips.ca/CIPS-INTERVIEWS-William-Hutchison- Jan2014 When you think of the impact of computing over the years now it's at the heart of everything and it really is a profession and requires professional standards, testing and accountability. I'm 100 percent behind that idea...."

ResultsIndustry Support Global Industry Council: Prominent Leaders from Business, Industry, Government, Academia, International Bodies global program for computing as spearheaded by IP3 and IP3-GIC will be a catalyst for a more than a 20% increase in global GDP.
