The skills are out there

I saw an idea given by Arab New and it got my braincells fired up. You see, whilst some are ‘advocating’ AI, the real setting is that ML/DL (which I call Deeper Machine Learning, or DML) is a setting that has not been considered (or at least not to my knowledge) so whilst some people are considering that it is futile, the setting that we see can be transposed. So as we are given ‘How Saudi Arabia is creating its own anime industry’, I saw a rather large niche. Whilst we applaud “At the center of the shift is Manga Productions, a subsidiary of the Mohammed bin Salman Foundation Misk, which is focused on nurturing local talent, producing original material and working with Japanese studios to build expertise.” There is an alternative usage. You see, Arabic Manga could be the central setting to push knowledge of Arabic forward. The largest stepping stone is that people feel uncertain to move to Saudi Arabia and that gives places like Aramco, SABIC and the stc Group a little disadvantage. You could go all out to get the actors and so forth, but the foundations of a language could be done by Manga and it would also have appeal to the younger population and when they are in an age where it matters, they could already have some of the basic Arabic skills to be interesting to the larger players. The idea of language, interactions and etiquette could be shown through manga and whilst that happens, the skills of these mega makers will increase sharply. And when we consider “For Lamees Alsantely, a producer at Manga, the move reflects both the emergence of a new generation of creatives and a growing appetite among local audiences. “Saudi Arabia already has a strong audience for anime and animation, but much of what we consume reflects other cultures and perspectives,” she told Arab News.” The idea that language skills could also be developed might not have occurred, but as I see it, so at present Aramco Saudi Arabia has 275 open positions. How many could be attracted by foreigners? What skills could be imbued to lower that number? And this is merely one employer and I gave two more. What could be done to increase that setting? Then we go from simple learning to the interactions in writing and optionally religion as well. There is a hindrance because people are not sure about how their lives fit in with a Muslim state of mind. You could hire actors or you could set up a manga solution which could be adjusted instantly to the question places see rise. I had given a visor solution (months ago), but manga is a dead second in that race and whilst some people think that this is ludicrous, the reality is that this could be done by manga interns, they can treat their teeth on fixing one whilst gaining the other. Interaction of skills is the name of the game and whilst the Deeper Learning part can set towards the gender of the learner, the job requirement in play and it might merely be to learn a language. A setting that is out there and would it not be nice to get the basic skills right there from the animator before you enter a job interview?

Although I cannot tell whether this was real or a sketch, but we can accept that if that was not a sketch, the person for the interview was a zero chance applicant. And it goes further than that. Tourists are at times hesitant to go to a place that relies on a language you do not know. That was my reality when I went to Thailand. Lucky enough many knew German and in the hotel I was ‘safe’ as nearly everyone spoke English there. There are a whole range of reasons to learn a language and now there is an optional setting for Manga to be the educator too and in that setting it it relatively easy to create the lessons that could make a difference and drawn characters work for SAR 0.18 per kWh, the people designing this take a little more, but in light of their skills they will learn all the skills they need to make decent manga characters and they could include writing skills in that setting as well. I reckon it is a field that people like Manga Productions CEO Essam Bukhary should consider and it might open up several streams of revenue for Manga Productions as well. From language training to HR introductions. It will not take way the need for actors, but there will be a massive amount of materials produced from the get go.

Just a thought to consider. Have a great day.

Saudization

A term I got introduced to last week. It stands for “the Saudi nationalization scheme and also known as Nitaqat, is a policy that is implemented in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by the Ministry of Labor and Social Development, which requires companies and enterprises to fill their workforce with Saudi nationals up to certain levels” I think it is a great idea. I think more countries need to embrace such a scheme for a few reasons. I believe it is essential that skills are moved locally to avoid being at the massive risk of an American need and that is a bad idea on a few levels. Now, this is not an anti-America sentiment, but the media (America too) have left us with the notion that we cannot be certain of almost anything and there is the larger setting that it goes to other countries too. Perhaps there is an Emiratization, an optional Indonesization (these two words might not exist) and several others (Pakistan, Bangladesh) and so on. So why is there not an open video channel with options on both YouTube and TikTok handing these skills? If I merely push this to myself. There is the option to train people (non-Arabic) in IBM Statistics (formerly known as SPSS) I trained people for over a decade and that is a skill that can be taught. Edit the movie with a localised soundtrack and you have a solution to optionally train dozens of people.

If we create a few hundred videos we could optionally train a whole legion of people and as the elder generation (including me) could leave a footprint handing this knowledge out to others we continue training people after we are gone. I also worked in call centers and whilst the world is filled with silliness and chases after AI, the skills that are out there will be lost soon enough. As such we (read: some)  need to create the stages for the next generation. Whilst all are on the AI train we might see a setting of dwindling down sources and in a decade when AI misses its target the world will suddenly see that they lost more than they bargained for. As such a video station that allows Saudization to grow into the people who cannot see what they need and can freely learn to grow their own future is a proper way to harvest talents where they freely grow.

So you might think that this comes for free and that might be the case. Yet the older generations feels that they can contribute to any setting that will listen. As such these skills will require verification so that quality will prevail. Yet is it such a hardship on the older generation? They contribute to all kinds of non profit organisations. Is it so hard to believe that they would assist in creating the future generations? The world is not what big corporations believe it to be, it is what the next generation wants it to be and as such this idea stands a chance. In the setting we see now it might benefit Saudi Arabia. Yet when these movies get a larger setting in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Uruguay and other places, we grow the knowledge in all kinds of directions and as it should be offered free knowledge will emboss all people, not just the ones who can afford it. 

It is just a little idea I am playing with, but I reckon that some governments will embrace what hundreds of people could contribute to their national causes.

Have a great day
