In the first episode of this 3 part series, we did a role reversal, where I switched from being the host - to being the guest to share my views on the latest trends, opportunities and risks related to Smart Cities and 5G.  For this episode, it's back to normal - I'll be interviewing Analyse Asia's Bernard Leong to get his take on the future of drones, the latest developments around AI and Machine Learning, and what digital transformation trends evolved due to the pandemic.  Show Notes: 00:00 Bernard hasn't been on a podcast in two years, including his own Analyse Asia podcast.
