On May 9, 2025, the ITCN Asia Lahore will host the CWPK 40 Premier Leadership Roundtable, a mixer event presented by CWPK Academy, the events and studio arm of Computerworld Pakistan. The gathering will bring together leaders, innovators, and policymakers to discuss the future of technology in Pakistan, with a focus on Public Interest Technology and the role of emerging tech like Artificial Intelligence (AI) in shaping society. This carries forward from the first CWPK 40 Premier Leadership Roundtable hosted at the ITCN Asia Lahore in April 2024.
A Milestone Celebration
This event is particularly special as it coincides with Computerworld’s 30th birthday in Pakistan. Three decades of relentless pursuit of innovation, excellence, and leadership have made Computerworld a well known name in the country’s tech industry. The Computerworld 40 Premier Leaders Roundtable is a fitting tribute to this milestone.
The Built Environment of the Digital Age
Technology is often viewed as a virtual entity, separate from the physical world. However, it’s becoming increasingly clear that technology is, in fact, a form of infrastructure that shapes and is shaped by the society it serves. Just as the built environment reflects the values and priorities of a community, so too does the digital landscape. The inequities and biases that exist in the physical world can be replicated in the virtual world if not addressed. Therefore, it’s crucial to consider the social implications of technological advancements, including AI, and ensure that they serve the greater good.
