In a world of emerging technologies, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and its related terms such as artificial intelligence (AI), autonomy, and digital transformation can often be misunderstood due to their complexity and impact on traditional practices.

To help bring these technologies closer to the public, the Department of Science and Technology-Advanced Science and Technology Institute (DOST-ASTI), in celebration of its 37th Founding Anniversary, launched its first Advanced Science, Technology and Innovation Convention (ASTICon) at the Novotel Manila Araneta City in Quezon City on 18-19 July 2024.
