SJB unveils digital policy for Sri Lanka

National Digitization policy of the future SJB government was unveiled by the Leader of Opposition Sajith Premadasa accompanied by Parliamentarians Eran Wickrmaratne and Professor  G.L Pieris with the participation of host of academia in the relevant sphere of Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence.

The launching of Digital  policy for Sri Lanka by the future SJB government was launched at the Lakshman Kadirgamar institute  in Colombo on Wednesday  under the leadership of Leader of Opposition Sajith Premadasa

Eran Wickramaratne who was the pioneering chairman of the ICTA in Sri Lanka  led the team of experts who prepared this policy document to take the country into Artificial Intelligence with a leap forward beyond Information Technology.

Wickramaratne speaking on the occasion articulating the overview on the importance of digitization to Sri Lanka as a country, its government and the people said that the importance of information technology to a country today cannot be overstated. Even though the world is living in an artificial intelligence technology beyond information technology, Sri Lanka is twenty years behind in information technology.

Therefore, since these technologies are needed, the Samagi Jana Balavega has decided to give priority to popularize this digital technology in the country during its term of office in order to take a leap and move forward, second only to school education.

For this, we are focusing on the development of human resources as the basic need. Sri Lanka's geographical location and human resources are an advantageous for this. Earlier, literacy was measured by being able to write and sign one's name. Eran Wickramaratne emphasized that since it is now measured on digital literacy, raising all citizensto that position is the basic priority of the policy of the future Sajith Premadasa Government.

He further said that the digital Sri Lanka policy will have positive impact on the economic development of the country as if we have a digital literacy human resource we can make inputs to the global needs which in turn  provide us the economic and financial benefits to the country and the households and individuals.

Conducive atmosphere is needed to expedite accruing benefits, with hi speed internet connection covering the whole country. Korea gave high priority to internet connections and the IT, so when there is a technological innovation in the world, Korea  become one of the first countries to such innovations. Expertise and the requiresite investment may come through the private sector participation He said that Leader of the Opposition is of the firm view that the contribution of the private sector participation in to this field is inevitable to reap the benefits of IT.

The MP said that since technology always raises legal issues, we as a country should also prepare the necessary laws for that. Now that Chat GPT has jumped forward under artificial intelligence over information technology, he strongly stated that laws should be made for it now.

Wicramaratne asserted that as a banker about 20 year ago realizing the needs of IT, he along with Dhusantha Soza went to USA and had discussion with  Bill Gates and made arrangements with Microsoft to open up their branch in Sri Lanka. We had a plan to bring multi nationals companies to the country by first bringing the SAMSUNG  in to the country. Unfortunately as we missed the opportunity with the change of Government in 2004, the SAMSUNG started their project in Vietnam and that country made it success in the field of IT.

But we were able to bring in IT companies to provide BPO services and the HSBC was one such company, but very unfortunately for the last 15 to 20 years there have been no major advancement in the use of IT in this country.  Enactments are needed to make IT workable efficiently. The piece of  Law on IT by the EU has been made a law now in.

Wickramaratne urged that but its duration for compliance should be expedited in Sri Lanka
