Bangladesh tech industry, a gateway to global competitiveness
Prof Dr Sazzad HossainWith the unparallel march of artificial intelligence and internet of things and information technology demands the utmost attention from every nation globally.Tech industry facilitates rapid and convenient access to information, crucial for national economic progress. Countries worldwide are witnessing the emergence of prominent IT firms, leading to the establishment and advancement of their respective information technology sector.Asian nations are actively participating in this trend, fostering favourable environments to attract global tech investments. Major industry players such as Microsoft, Apple, and Samsung are heavily investing in Asian markets to leverage cost advantages.Bangladesh, with its abundant and cost-effective workforce compared to countries like India, Malaysia, and China, stands to gain from these opportunities. To capitalize on this potential, Bangladesh needs to establish a robust foreign investment framework, coupled with a comprehensive nationwide IT infrastructure and a skilled workforce.The software and IT-enabled services (ITeS) sector in Bangladesh shows significant potential for growth, driven by various factors such as a substantial talent pool of skilled young workers, cooperative government initiatives, proactive leadership from the Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Service (BASIS), and favourable media engagement.Technology plays a crucial role in the development of developing countries like Bangladesh, offering a multitude of benefits across various aspects of the economy and society. In general, the IT sector encompasses a range of services including IT-enabled services (ITES), e-commerce, Artificial Intelligence, outsourcing, and the production of software and hardware.These services are vital for enhancing productivity, streamlining business operations, and fostering economic growth in a competitive environment. Moreover, IT sector has played a significant role in improving the efficiencyand accessibility of governance. Additionally, IT has enhanced the management and delivery of essential government services, such as healthcare, education, and consumer rights, by increasing transparency.The IT sector contributes significantly to economic growth by creating employment opportunities across various skill levels, from software developers to customer service representatives. Export of IT services generates foreign exchange earnings, contributing to the countrys foreign reserves and reducing trade deficits.Outsourcing of tech services by freelancers provides a significant source of revenue. Investment in IT education and training programs enhances the skillset of the workforce, making them globally competitive and adaptable to technological advancements. The IT sector fosters a culture of innovation, entrepreneurship, and start-ups encouraging the development of new products, services, and business models.The present government of Bangladesh under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is committed to bridging the gap between rural villages and urban areas by leveraging technological advancements and implementing various government initiatives. Local entrepreneurs are securing significant outsourcing contracts for a range of services such as back-office operations, image processing, graphic design, animation, data entry, communication services, accounting, legal process outsourcing, and data analytics, as noted by professionals in the industry.The annual earnings from freelancing by around 650 thousand individuals amount to $500 million. Apart from this, IT companies brought home $282.77 million in the July-December period of 2022-23, up from $208.09 million in the identical half of 2021-22, data from the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) showed.The Bangladesh Association of Software and Information Services (BASIS) estimates that the annual IT export stands at $1.5 billion. In addition, Bangladesh is aiming to reach the $5 billion export-mark by 2025 and $20 billion by 2031. By 2025, 30 lakh youths will be employed in the country's tech industry.The main export market for software products continues to be North America, with the USA leading the way. However, the UK, Denmark, and the Netherlands have also become prominent destinations in recent years.Moreover, in addition to regular exports to Australia and Japan, many IT companies have achieved significant success in mobile applications and communications sectors in Malaysia, Singapore, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa.The prospects of IT sector in Bangladesh have some challenges that should be evaluated closely to improve the condition of this sector. Firstly, the IT industry faces challenges due to a shortage of highly skilled professionals, hindering its competitiveness. Insufficient infrastructure, including reliable internet connectivity and power supply, poses obstacles to growth of this sector.Secondly, complex regulatory frameworks and bureaucratic procedures can deter foreign investment and hinder market expansion. Cyber threats and data security vulnerabilities challenge the sectors sustainability.Additionally, numerous companies and independent professionals tend to bring their foreign currency through unofficial channels to benefit from a higher exchange rate of the dollar against the local currency. Finally, competitive dynamics within the software industry pose a significant challenge, as both large and small local firms present formidable competition to new ventures launched by smaller companies.Increasing global demand for IT services presents opportunities for Bangladesh to tap into international markets. The current administration under the Awami League is actively fostering numerous opportunities and implementing essential measures to transform Bangladesh into a robust IT hub. Bangladesh boasts a large, relatively low-cost labour force, offering opportunities for IT outsourcing and software development.Since 2018, the government has been offering a 10% cash incentive to software exports, aiming to stimulate the foreign exchange-earning segment, in addition to the apparel industry. The exemption of all taxes and duties on imported computer hardware and software has led to increased affordability and widespread use of PCs in Bangladesh. Simplified tax-free export earning remittance procedures with 40 percent retention in foreign currency.The recent increase in cash incentives on remittances has been raised from 2.5 percent to 5 percent. Besides, exporting via the internet or other electronic media is acknowledged under sales contracts or agreements without the requirement for any Letters of Credit (LCs). Intellectual Property Rights law has been passed by parliament.Digital security Act 2018 is primarily targeted to ensure cyber security. Most importantly, Bangladesh is producing sufficient amount of energy to support this sector. The establishment of hi-tech parks will be game changer for this industry.Presently, Bangladesh has approximately 28 Hi-Tech Parks (HTP), Software Technology Parks (STP), and IT Training and Incubation Centres distributed across the country. Furthermore, the government has recently sanctioned additional hi-tech park projects, reflecting its commitment to fostering the IT sector. The Bangladesh Hi-Tech Park Authority (BHTPA) is tasked with executing and overseeing these projects to ensure their successful implementation and maintenance.Considerable achievements in the IT sector have already been made over several years towards building a Digital Bangladesh and more initiatives are coming. However, to fully capitalise on the opportunities offered by the worldwide IT expansion, Bangladesh should thrust heavily towards further developing the IT sector to draw the attention of foreign investors competing with other technologically advanced/well-invested Asian countries.At the same time, we should encourage our entrepreneurs to launch IT companies here.To flourish their IT sectors and earn foreign revenue, developing countries like India, Pakistan, China, Vietnam, Taiwan, the Philippines, and others can follow these steps:Prioritizing education in STEAM fields and vocational training programs. Creatingfavourable policies, tax incentives, and regulatory frameworks to attract foreign investment and promote local IT industries. Encouraging innovation through funding research institutions, establishing tech parks, and fostering collaboration between academia and industry. Fostering partnerships with multinational companies, participate in global tech events, and promote exports of IT services. Emphasizing continuous training to develop a skilled workforce with mastery in block chain, Artificial Intelligence, 3D technology and virtual reality to secure high-value work orders. Many tech-savvy young graduates, including those returning from overseas education, have initiated their own IT ventures in recent years. Despite encountering numerous local and global challenges, these young entrepreneurs have managed to establish successful businesses. However, they require increased support from the government. Providingmore funding, mentorship, and incubation facilities to nurture a vibrant startup ecosystem. Taking proper steps to minimize flow of foreign currency throughillegal channels.Strengthening cybersecurity infrastructure and enact regulations to protect digital assets and foster trust among global clients. Revising the foreign exchange regulations and revenue policies. Exploring subcontracting opportunities from technologically advanced Asian countries can yield positive results. Bangladesh can attract small-scale companies overlooked by India and China. Additionally, India and China may find benefits in assisting Bangladesh in expanding its IT sector. Furthermore, both the public and private sectors can promote IT careers to youth and foster entrepreneurship by offering startup capital or facilitating easy bank loans for launching IT companies.-- The writer is a senior professor and a full-time member at University Grants Commission (UGC) in Bangladesh

Facebook is 65% capable of detecting Deepfake videos
The Facebook authorities did not get the expected results by organizing political propaganda, pornography, or aggressive fake videos 'Deepfake Detection Challenge' using deep learning technology. This is because the high-performance models have been able to detect a maximum of 75.18 percent of Deepfake video accurately.Two thousand people participated in the competition. During this time, they received training and created a new dataset by creating about 35,000 different models. They work with one lakh videos of 3,000 actors and actresses. Among them, Selim Seferbekov identified fake videos with an average of 85.18 percent, ranking first, WM second, Enteclab third, Eighteen Years Old fourth and The Medics fifth. In a statement, Facebook authorities said the competition created a baseline for identifying deepfake videos. This competition will play an important role in creating a large number of different data sets and benchmarking dipfeck detection models, working with new technologies and learning from each other.

Facebook has said that the feature will also come on Android.A spokesman for Facebook said the move was aimed at preventing unwanted people from reading other people's messages.
What do you mean by e-Learning?
E-learning is a kind of educational technology that helps us deliver educational content through the internet without making students sit in a physical classroom. It encompasses downloadable e-books, audio content, video content, and structured courses with assignments and assessments. E-learning (e-education or distance learning) refers to the delivery of educational services online using web/ mobile applications and internet access.With the increasing need for mobility in today’s world, it is very important to get everything digitalized. Following the same, you can say the books have been converted into digital books which, you can read on your mobile phones, tablets, or computers. The growing e-learning market size proves modern knowledge chasers prefer an online format to study when and where they want:the most important attribute of E-learning is that it allows trainees to learn at any time of their own choice. There is no need to sit in boring classroom sessions where a trainer is allotted for only a specified amount of time. Below are some other attributes of E-learning that are reviewed with respect to a standard classroom training session:Reduction in cost of training – For classroom training sessions, it is required that you have a separate training room allocated for the purpose and designated trainers for one or more than one training module. The extra real estate and additional trainers on your payroll are not very cost-effective. You must pay recurring salaries and spend on the maintenance of training room infrastructure. On the contrary, an e-learning service provider can develop training content for you that can be used for training multiple batches. If the technology or concept changes, it is possible to alter the content accordingly.More immersive – When the training content is voluminous, classroom training sessions can turn into a boring chore for the trainees. Such sessions may not be effective at all and all the efforts may go to waste. But, with eLearning, it is possible to use gamification tech along with Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. As VR and AR use audio/video medium, the information is received via different human senses, which leads to better retention of information.Better evaluation of trainees – The eLearning content can be devised in such a way that at every juncture the employees are asked certain questions to evaluate their progress. The questions can be descriptive or multiple choices, depending on the requirement of the company. Constant evaluation of employees allows managers to check their progress and plan re-trainings or other corrective sessions to ensure that trainee progress is always up to the expected levels.Advantage – 1. Online Learning Accommodates Everyone’s NeedsThe online method of learning is best suited for everyone. This digital revolution has led to remarkable changes in how the content is accessed, consumed, discussed, and shared. Online educational courses can be taken up by office goers and housewives too, at the time that suits them. Depending on their availability and comfort, many people choose to learn at weekends or evenings.2. Lectures Can Be Taken Any Number Of TimesUnlike classroom teaching, with online learning, you can access the content an unlimited number of times. This is especially required at the time of revision when preparing for an exam. In the traditional form of learning, if you can not attend the lecture, then you have to prepare for that topic on your own; in eLearning, you can attend the lectures whenever you want with ease.3. Offers Access To Updated ContentA prime benefit of learning online is that it makes sure that you are in synchronization with modern learners. This enables the learner to access updated content whenever they want it.4. Quick Delivery of LessonseLearning is a way to provide quick delivery of lessons. As compared to the traditional classroom teaching method, this mode has relatively quick delivery cycles. This indicates that the time required to learn is reduced to 25%-60% of what is required in traditional learning. There are some of the reasons why the learning time is reduced by eLearning:Lessons start quickly and wrapped up in a single learning session. This enables training programs to easily roll out within a few weeks, or sometimes even days. Learners can define their own speed of learning instead of following the speed of the whole group. Saves time as a student does not need to travel to the training venue. You can learn at the comfort of your own place. Students can choose to study specific and relevant areas of the learning material without focusing on each area. For example, they can skip certain areas they do not want to learn.5. ScalabilityeLearning helps in creating and communicating new training, policies, concepts, and ideas. Whether it is for formal education or entertainment, eLearning is very quick way of learning!6. ConsistencyeLearning enables educators to get a higher degree of coverage to communicate the message in a consistent way for their target audience. This ensures that all learners receive the same type of training with this learning mode.7. Reduced CostseLearning is cost-effective as compared to traditional forms of learning. The reason for this price reduction is because learning through this mode happens quickly and easily. A lot of training time is reduced with respect to trainers, travel, course materials, and accommodation.This cost-effectiveness also helps in enhancing the profitability of an organization. Also, when you are studying at your own place, you are relieved from paying for travel expenses (e.g. accommodation) when training happens in another city/state and/or external learning materials.8. EffectivenesseLearning has a positive influence on an organization’s profitability. It makes it easy to grasp the content and digest it: It results in improved scores on certifications, tests, or other types of evaluation. The higher number of students who achieve the ‘pass’ or mastery’ level. Enhanced ability to learn and implement the new processes or knowledge at the workplace. Help in retaining information for a longer time.9. Less Impact on EnvironmentAs eLearning is a paperless way of learning, it protects the environment to a lot of extents. As per a study done on eLearning courses, it has been found that distance-based learning programs consumed around 90% less power and generated 85% less amount of CO2 emissions as compared to traditional campus-based educational courses. With eLearning, there is no need to cut trees for obtaining a paper. Thus, eLearning is a highly eco-friendly way of learning.Disadvantages:1. Technology dependent: The delivery of eLearning courses depends on technology. Inadequacy of required infrastructure such as computers, high internet bandwidth, and also lack of relevant technical skills in learners would greatly hamper the success of an eLearning course.2. Lack of motivation: Learners may not be motivated to take a course since they are in isolation and have flexibility. It requires a high level of self-discipline and self-motivation from learners.3. Lack of help/training support: due to the absence of an instructor who can solve learners’ queries, explain in detail topics that are not understood, analyze learners' performance and provide detailed feedback4. Lack of human touch: since there is no direct interaction with the instructor or fellow learners during the learning process.5. Inflexible: It is not possible to alter the course in real-time based on learners’ reactions and comfort6. Start-up cost: involved in designing, developing, and deploying a course. Technologies and science growing and changing so fast, we just can’t afford to spend 5 years in college learning methods that will no longer be up to date or even relevant once we are out. We need to invest in shorter continuous education programs, mainly powered through E-learning. It also empowers kids and adults to take control and accountability for their education level. Training on the go accommodates a lot of people and in-class training will always limit the accessibility to expertise and knowledge.
Facebook takes on Zoom with Messenger Rooms
Facebook has added a new feature for group video chat. Launched on Thursday (May 14), Facebook's new feature room is expected to rival other video chat apps, including Zoom and Skype.Demand for this specialty has grown significantly as a result of recent corporate scandals and lockouts. For the convenience of the users, Facebook added a new feature.Facebook users will be able to add up to 50 people to their video chat rooms through the Messenger app. It can be used if you do not have a Facebook account. There is no set time limit for chat.Zoom has become very popular for video chat for quite some time. But the controversy over security and personal issues has also spread over the past two months. In this case, the room of Facebook can be an alternative to zoom. This feature of Facebook was supposed to be launched in April. But due to various complications, Facebook finally launched the service in mid-May.Messenger room vice president Stan Chernovsky said in a blog post that room-sharing can also be started on Facebook news feeds, groups and events. It can be easily invited from anywhere. Room users can decide who can be added.According to Facebook's blog post, global users will be able to turn on the room from Messenger and North American users will be able to do so from Facebook.For this, you need to have Facebook and Messenger update app. You need to download the Messenger desktop app on Windows. Mac users can also download apps from the Mac App Store.Facebook is also reportedly testing the Messenger Room service on WhatsApp recently. This feature has been seen in the beta version of WhatsApp on Android. The idea is that soon WhatsApp, Facebook may also add it to Instagram.
Facebook's new App Discover - provides free data in developing countries
Facebook's free basic program has gained a lot of popularity. To make this free service progressively unique, Facebook has launched an app called Discover.Users will receive free data from their providers each day and will get a notification when it is available. With the Facebook Discover app, a user can browse any website. Subsequently, you can browse a constrained amount with the specific free data provided by the mobile operator.The Discover app is currently being tested. Which was initially launched in Peru.Discover will only run on low-bandwidth traffic when using free data, so you can load text on a website but not video, audio, or other data-intensive elements. If you want to stream, you can purchase additional data to do so - Facebook authorities said in a blog statement. "Discover will play an important role in helping people and keeping them connected to the Internet," said Joav GV, Facebook's product manager. Many internet users around the world are connected to us but become disconnected when their data runs out. So, Discover is an app that will help users stay connected seamlessly until the next internet data purchase.
Quantum computing could change the world
Quantum algorithms will be able to scan massive databases instantly, consuming mountains of financial data in microseconds and producing actionable suggestions in less. In this 4th Industrial Revolution era, it could transform on: creating life-saving medicines, protecting from invisible virus like Corona, detecting significant threat to cyber-security, break encryption, revolutionize communications, rapidly accelerating the development of artificial intelligence, provide better weather forecasting, and better financial modeling. Imagine quantum computing will make human trading obsolete!An ordinary computer chip uses bit which are like switches that can either be in the off position (represented by a zero) or in the on position (represented by a one).This works great for most things, but it doesn’t reflect the way the universe actually works. In reality, things aren’t just on or off. There is uncertainty as well.Quantum computers use qubits instead of bits. A qubit allows for uncertainty. Rather than just being on or off, qubits can also be in what’s called ‘superposition’ – where they are both on and off at the same time, or somewhere on a spectrum between the two. This ambiguity – the ability to both “be” and “not be” – is key to the power of quantum computing.Researchers of Google, Microsoft, Intel and IBM have made great progress in developing the algorithms to create truly useful quantum computers! My friend Prof. Dr. Sazzad Hossain explained more on this as his Phd was on Quantum Computing. Watch the video: - Engr. Abubokor Hanip Founder & CEO, PeopleNTech
