“…The study focuses on the Estonian creative economy, characterised by the country's small size but even more its scarce population (Estonia's position geographically in Europe is presented in Appendix B, Figure A1). Estonia being the case is interesting because it provides a different perspective compared to other case studies from Lithuania [9], Iran [8], Taiwan [11], Korea, and old European countries such as the United Kingdom and the Netherlands [5,10], both of which are success stories. Especially Korea, the UK, and the Netherlands are often referred to, as these have provided the scales from bottom-up to topdown, as well as mixed approaches, to solve the issues of creative industries, for instance, by using various models of ecosystems.…”

Recent studies on Estonia’s creative economy show a growth in employment in the country’s creative sector and an overall increase in generated revenue. However, some areas need improvements, such as the international export of talent and art, interdisciplinary collaboration, and digital skills in strategy building and creating ecosystems. This study explores which skills and tools Estonian creatives are using, lacking, and willing to obtain, and focuses on collaboration manners and attitudes towards cross-sectoral ecosystems. The methodology is composed of a participatory co-design approach with quantitative and qualitative data sources, including background research on industry mapping and economic statistical indicators, semi-structured interviews with industry professionals and stakeholders, and co-design workshops with local creatives. Data were collected from recordings and transcribed, and the co-design workshop post-it notes were digitalised. The data were analysed from the bottom-up and mapped top-down with the 21st-century skills and ecosystem approach. Our current studies show that knowledge transfer and collaboration (across industry sectors, NGOs, and academia) are critical in a small country with a small population, intertwined with dynamic ecosystem building. Creative people upscale and continuously deepen their professional skills (digital and non-digital) in a lifelong learning manner. The current study found that specialising is hard since sustainable values, including those that promote degrowth, are involved.

The current study investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) impacts sustainable development in emerging markets, with a focus on Thailand. Following a systematic review approach, research designs are configured for reviewing empirical evidence within peer-reviewed papers and reports. It also presents an overview of the adoption of AI in agriculture, health, and urban planning. The key findings lend credence to the potential use of AI in achieving resource optimality, reducing environmental damage, and urging social equity in its use. But these very initiatives are hampered by the digital divide, concerns about data privacy, and bias in algorithms. The way forward should be to establish solid, regulatory frameworks geared towards more investment in infrastructure with ethical AI practices that will lead to optimal gains. The huge potentials for AI to enable sustainability in Thailand are there; hence, it is very important to reduce the associated risks that require equitably distributed results in all sectors.
