The other panelists were Mr. Takehiko Nakao, President of the ADB, Minnette Navarette, President of Kickstart Ventures, and Nandita Parshad, Managing Director of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, who were engaged in a debate by CNBC's Anchor Oriel Morrison.

The discussion focused on the emerging new technologies and the impact of such advanced systems on developing societies particularly on employment generation. Robotics and Artificial Intelligence were identified as new areas of concern but the panelists agreed that better educated well trained youth will be able to adjust to these changes if governments are encouraged to steer educational systems fitting to contemporary demands of the global job markets.
