  3. “While there are many claims being made, we lack answers to basic questions. Are the AI capabilities being developed today actually going to help with gender equality (goal 5)? With food security (goal 2)? With decent work (goal 8)? And more?

    THIS should be the primary work of the scientific panel and global dialogue.“

  5. "A people-centred and development-oriented inclusive information society".

    > As we confront the challenges of rapid digitalisation, climate change-related uncertainty and persisting inequalities that are mirrored in digital divides, this vision is even more relevant now than it was 20 years ago.

  6. On the 29th November 2024 at our QUT Energy Transition Centre symposium on the Summit of the Future, Viviana Munoz Tellez of the South Centre, Geneva spoke about the Global Digital Compact youtu.be/354UOirTIkI?si=1DBQ1p #globaldigitalcompact #southcentre #SDGs #summitofthefuture #digitaldivide

  7. "The adoption in September of the Global Digital Compact (GDC) – a new multilateral framework for global digital cooperation towards “an inclusive, open, sustainable, fair, safe and secure digital future for all” – has been met with a cautious response from many in civil society. Cautious, because despite positive outcomes in the final text, there are also oversights, omissions, and problems with framing that we feel are fundamental to a just digital future.

    As a way of reviewing where these gaps are, it is useful to look back at what we wanted out of the process a year ago, and where the gaps emerged. This is important because the implementation phases that lie ahead are as crucial as the negotiation process that led to the final text being adopted. There will be new opportunities for civil society to influence the outcomes of the Compact, and perhaps to help push the impact of the GDC closer towards some of the goals we previously envisaged."

  15. Ich hab lange nicht mehr zum #GlobalDigitalCompact berichtet, aber es geht weiter.
    In einem Policy Briefing macht der Secretary General sehr klar wie zentralisiert sich die UN einen neue Internet Governance Struktur vorstellt. Um es mit Konstantinos Worten zu sagen:
    „frankly, I really am looking forward to the day the UN attempts to ‘demand’ things from an organization like the IETF.“

  16. RT @APC_News: The uses of AI systems are amazing and promising, but it’s key to recognise that biases are embedded in them.

    These biases lead to discrimination and marginalisation based on racial, ethnic, religion or gender identity.
