As celebrated at The Economist, 1950-1975 Asia Rising was tech twin economic miracle 1960-1980 with Silicon Valley; it unleashed productivity of 2/3 humans who are Asian that Western Empire era (moastly UK?Japan) had excluded. More notes at EconomistDiary.com
1951 The human purpose of AI -intehgrating silicon microelectronics-satellite data sharing - accelerated deep ai learning computational platforms - (10**18) more tech by 2025 - is celebrating tools that help people's brains be more skillful. That's how Neumann-Einstein-Turing briefed economists and journalists during the last 6 years of their life. They rehearsed various chalenges http://neumann.ning.com - eg please stop making engineers nations' most hated and wanted people - the way you treated us three and our alumni. | .. |

To support this Global effort the United Kingdom is proud to host this Summit in Bletchley Park the birthplace of modern Computing where Alan Turing famously cracked the Enigma code and laid the foundations for a new digital age. Transitions like the one AI is heralding always presents profound challenges especially in preparing for unintended consequences; it is incumbent on those with responsibility to meet these challenges to protect people's privacy and livelihoods which are essential to both our economic and psychological well-being to secure our democracies from harm and to ensure the benefits of new technology are shared by all. I've always believed in the importance of holding a conversation both within and across societies to address such great challenges of bringing governments in the public sector together with civil society and the private sector in that conversation adhering to the values tenants of faith and laws that we all held so dear. That is how the International Community has sought to tackle climate change to light a path to Net Zero and Safeguard the future of our planet we must similarly address the risks presented by AI with a sense of urgency unity and Collective Strength so on behalf of the United Kingdom I want to thank you all for the vital role you are playing in this shared Endeavor for laying the foundations of a lasting consensus on AI safety and for ensuring that this immensely powerful technology is indeed a Force for good in this world.. |

Korean Tech Rising: Park Chung-hee:
ReplyDeleteOrigin: Park Chung-hee was born on November 14, 1917, in Gumi, North Gyeongsang Province, Korea (then under Japanese colonial rule, 1910–1945). Per Park Chung Hee and Modern Korea (Kim, 2016), he grew up in a rural Korean family, attended local schools, and later trained at the Japanese Manchukuo Military Academy (1937–1940) in occupied China due to colonial opportunities.
Upbringing: Park was raised in Korea until his military training abroad (1937–1945). After Japan’s defeat in 1945, he returned to Korea, joining the South Korean army and rising to president via a 1961 coup. His formative years and identity were Korean, shaped by colonial challenges.
Confirmation: Park was born and bred in Korea, living in Gumi until his late teens, unlike H.T. Li’s Nanjing birth and migration.
Tech Role: As president (1961–1979), Park drove South Korea’s tech rise through the Five-Year Plans (1962), KIST (1966), and chaebol support, as discussed, earning “godfather” status for systemic impact.
Lee Byung-chul:
Origin: Lee Byung-chul was born on February 12, 1910, in Uiryeong, South Gyeongsang Province, Korea, also under Japanese rule, per Samsung Rising (Cain, 2020). He came from a wealthy landowning Korean family and studied at Waseda University in Japan (1930s) but returned to Korea.
Upbringing: Lee was raised in Uiryeong, educated in local Confucian schools, and briefly studied abroad (Japan, 1930–1932) before founding Samsung in Taegu, Korea, in 1938 as a trading firm. His career and identity were rooted in Korea, despite colonial constraints.
Confirmation: Lee was born and bred in Korea, living in Uiryeong until adulthood, distinct from H.T. Li’s Chinese origin.
Tech Role: Lee’s 1969 pivot to Samsung Electronics and 1983 semiconductor push (64K DRAM) made him a tech pioneer, complementing Park’s policies, as discussed, justifying “godfather” status for industry leadership.
Taiwan Tech God father HT Li Foundry Focus: H.T. Li’s 1964 IBM lab and TSMC’s 1987 model prioritized fabrication,Taiwan’s Economic Miracle (1991).
ReplyDeleteH.T. Li: Early Life and Journey to Taiwan
Birth and Education in Nanjing
Li Kwoh-ting, known as H.T. Li, was born on January 28, 1910, in Nanjing, China, to a family originally from Wuyuan County, Jiangxi. He attended National Central University (now Nanjing University), where he graduated in 1930, and later studied physics at Cambridge University in 1934. Despite being awarded a doctoral scholarship at Cambridge, Li returned to China in 1937 to contribute to the war effort against the Japanese invasion.
Life During Wartime
Li’s early adulthood was marked by the turbulence of the Second Sino-Japanese War. He and his wife, Song Jing-Xiong, whom he met at Nanjing Jinling College, endured frequent relocations due to wartime instability, moving residences 13 times in one year alone. Their wedding took place in Wuchang in December 1937, just as Nanjing fell to Japanese forces. Li gave up a university appointment to join the air defense force, reflecting his commitment to his country during crisis.
Relocation to Taiwan
After World War II, as the Chinese Civil War intensified and the Communist Party gained control of mainland China, Li fled to Taiwan in July 1948 along with the Nationalist Party (Kuomintang). His wife, Song Jing-Xiong, was able to join him in Taiwan thanks to arrangements made by Li’s employer, and they settled in Taipei. This move marked the beginning of Li’s influential career in Taiwan, where he would eventually become a pivotal figure in the island’s economic and technological transformation.
.Summary of H.T. Li’s Role as Taiwan’s “Godfather of Tech”
Li Kwoh-ting (H.T. Li), often called the "Godfather of Technology" in Taiwan, was the chief architect behind Taiwan’s transformation from an agrarian economy to a global technology powerhouse. His vision and policies laid the foundation for what is known as the “Taiwan Economic Miracle.”
Key Contributions:
Strategic Economic Planning: Li led Taiwan’s shift from agriculture to high-tech manufacturing through government-driven industrialization policies. He held pivotal roles as economic and finance minister, and later as a senior adviser to the president, shaping Taiwan’s economic direction for decades.
Creation of Hsinchu Science Park: Li masterminded the establishment of the Hsinchu Science Park in 1980, which became Taiwan’s “Silicon Valley.” This park attracted high-tech firms and fostered innovation, eventually housing over 500 tech companies and becoming a global hub for semiconductor manufacturing.
Support for Semiconductor Industry: Li was instrumental in attracting foreign technology and investment, notably facilitating technology transfer agreements (such as with RCA) and supporting the creation of the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI). These efforts enabled Taiwan to quickly acquire and improve upon advanced semiconductor technologies.
Enabling TSMC’s Founding: Li played a crucial role in the founding of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) in 1987, now the world’s largest chipmaker. The government, under Li’s guidance, provided critical funding and policy support, helping TSMC pioneer the pure-play foundry model that revolutionized the global chip industry.
Balanced Government Role: Li believed in strong initial government intervention to nurture new industries, but advocated for a gradual transition to private sector leadership as markets matured. His policies included providing low-interest loans, establishing industrial and export-processing zones, and using fiscal measures to stabilize the economy.
Education and Talent Development: Recognizing the need for skilled labor, Li’s policies promoted education, overseas training, and the return of Taiwanese talent from abroad, ensuring a steady pipeline of expertise for the tech sector.
I0 India Generics Yusuf Hamied (Cipla) Profile:
ReplyDeleteRole: Chairman of Cipla, founded by his father Khwaja Abdul Hamied in 1935. Born 1936, Cambridge-educated chemist, led Cipla’s generics expansion, per X posts,.
Key Contributions:
1972 Patent Advocacy: Persuaded the Indian government to amend patent laws, allowing process-based generics, transforming the industry, per X post.
2001 HIV Cocktail: Reverse-engineered an anti-HIV drug cocktail, selling it for $1/day (96% cheaper than branded versions), saving millions in Africa, per CNN Business.
COVID-19: Cipla reverse-engineered Remdesivir, Favipiravir, and Baloxavir, per CNN Business.
Global Reach: Cipla exports to 70+ countries, with $2.3 billion revenue, per X post.
Challenges Faced:
Regulatory Barriers: Navigated India’s pre-1970 patent system, dominated by U.S./European firms (90% market share in 1947), per Business Standard. Post-2005 TRIPS compliance required R&D investment, per Wikipedia.
Financial Constraints: Cipla started with limited capital, borrowing Rs 1.25 lakh in 1935, competing against multinationals, per Business Today.
Technical Hurdles: Reverse-engineering required chemical expertise (Hamied’s Cambridge training) and process innovation, per New York Times.
Market Resistance: Faced skepticism from doctors/patients about generic quality and opposition from Western pharma (e.g., Pfizer), who called Cipla’s practices “piracy,” per New York Times.
Global Pushback: U.S. PhRMA reported $69 million annual losses from Indian generics, lobbying against India’s laws, per New York Times.
Intelligence to Study:
Strategic Vision: Advocated for the 1970 Patent Act, creating a legal framework for generics, per X post. Used Gandhian principles (e.g., serving humanity) to justify affordable drugs, per X post.
Technical Acumen: Mastered reverse-engineering, sketching molecular structures from his Cambridge notebooks, per New York Times.
Market Disruption: Targeted developing nations (e.g., Africa) with low-cost drugs, bypassing Western monopolies, per CNN Business.
Resilience: Overcame multinational lawsuits and FDA scrutiny (e.g., 31 warning letters to Indian firms, 2015–2017), maintaining Cipla’s reputation, per Wikipedia.
Quotes: “The idea of a better-ordered world is one in which medical discoveries will be free of patents, and there will be no profiteering from life and death,” echoing Indira Gandhi, per Pharmaoffer.
Why Yusuf Hamied?
Impact: His HIV cocktail redefined global access, reducing African treatment costs from $15,000 to $200/year, per The Bureau Investigates.
Documentation: His strategies are well-documented (e.g., New York Times, X posts), offering insights into legal, technical, and ethical challenges, per,.
Relevance: Cipla’s model (reverse-engineering, low-cost exports) mirrors the generics industry’s core, unlike Alkem or Micro Labs’ domestic focus, per Business Today.
Contrast:
Khwaja Hamied: Laid Cipla’s foundation but operated pre-1970, facing fewer global challenges, per X post.
Samprada Singh: Built Alkem but focused on domestic markets, less global impact, per Business Today.
G. S. Surana: Micro Labs’ niche strategy avoided direct multinational clashes, per Business Today.
Skeptical View:
Hamied’s “hero” narrative may be amplified by Cipla’s PR and Indian nationalism, ignoring quality issues (e.g., 2014 regulator’s claim that most Indian facilities fail U.S. standards), per The Bureau Investigates.
His success relied on India’s lax patents and Chinese APIs

Cultural Performance
nam great meeting you at india summit hosted by bloomberg hopkins at their dc campus at 555 penn avenueI love the idea that out of howard university you are collecting unique data on elder patients with cancer and innovating light radiation methods suitable to older bodies. Mail copied to paul komesaroff, an australian friend, mathematician and leading medical professor - he hosted Gandhian meeting in delhi which I was lucky to attend almost 20 years ago; out of monash melbourne i would say his general aim is to keep health services affordable and encourage australian medic al youth to spend year abroad in places that most need them; paul do you have any expert questions on nam's field?
ReplyDeleteI do beleive data analysis and so intelligence is advancing in extrordinary ways - tech which my father debated from 1951 meetings with von neumann and Economist leadership audiences is converging expoenentially- now is the most excitin time to have a brain -let alone to openly educate (action l,earning of) millions at same timeAs well as bloomberg who is helping 45 cities collect bottom up data modelled on his work in regenerating new york 2002-2012 and hopkins his alma mater
The 3 AI data genii i try to update with weekly because fortunately they make that many presentations and innovations are:
jensen huang nvidia -india video with ambani - he first started coding pixels instead of just 0.1 with steve jobs in 2002- this put him in the middle of radiology mapping by 2005 including baltimoreeliott fishman and designing chips for ever deeper data analyses out of stanford but with his taiwan frineds- there are at least 100 engineers who have worked with him for 20 years each with a potential breakthrough - so pretty much any breakthrough needeing deep data analysis partners jensen; also if you build a supercomputer ai factory with jensen it will be 30 times more energy efficient than old supercomputer hardwarein 2009 he met demis hassabis recent nobel laureate laureat ppt; who wanted to take pattern ai futher; he turned his ai champion Alphafold3 deep mind of game go into mapping all 250 million propteins- a databank now open sporced out of london, partnered by google and cambridge and with support of king charles royal societies; yann lecun is just the oldest of the 3 wizards and the purest mathematician- since 1990 ai had invented ai postcodes and cheques ; at nyu courant he now connects east and west cast being zuckenberg's consultant to meta; he has convinced zuckenberg to open source small models llama and in france mistral; - interestingly yann's number 1 sponsor at nyu is indian chandrika tandon who aims to connect women engineers everywhere - it could be a gteat leap to work out who in bloomberg india needs to linkin
all of above are convering on india as ai is taken to pcs and india's young brains can be defining worldwide collaborators on health and every deepest sdg community intel. By accident i have doen a lot of research of hbus with muhammad yunus between 2008 and 2014; we didnt het to howard but there are many inner city black youth/girls communities who desperately need support - Baltimore and brooklyn are 2 places where I know some of the communiteis as well some of the wizards;yours is a very importamt area that even trump cant block.Congrats on all your brilliant work for humanitychris +1 240 316 8157 whats app; linkedin <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/unwomens/>https://www.linkedin.com/in/unwomens/</a>ps i would love to find out if katalina kariko mrna reesarch might link to yours as her daughter agents her work and I connected with her daughter on linkedin; hopkins nanjing campus were heroes during covid but have gotten no credit in west; and there are rumors that apart from her work with moderna , much kariko wants to do with mrna is outside of big pharma's box
