At the recent G7 Summit in Italy, significant strides were made towards advancing AI for sustainable development. The discussions centered on democratizing AI resources, fostering inclusive digital ecosystems, and forming multi-stakeholder partnerships to ensure equitable and responsible AI growth. This initiative aligns closely with the Italy-Africa Mattei Plan, emphasizing the need to bridge the digital divide, particularly in developing countries. The summit addressed the interoperability of AI governance frameworks among member countries. Despite differing approaches, the shared objective is to develop secure, trustworthy AI systems. This includes efforts to harmonize with existing frameworks like the EU AI Act and the Hiroshima AI Process Code of Conduct, promoting global standards for AI. These developments mark a crucial step in ensuring that AI serves as a tool for positive global impact, fostering innovation while safeguarding ethical standards. #G7Summit #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #techforgood #innovation #sustainability #globalstandards

🥐 France sets eyes on AI influence! 🤞 This upcoming February, Paris will host the AI Action Summit; a gathering of heads of state, leaders of international organisations, CEOs of small and large companies, academics, NGOs, artists, and civil society figures for #AI. The summit will cover public interest, the future of work, innovation and culture, trust, and global #governance in AI. France is home to Mistral AI, one of the world's leading frontier modelers. The summit will be used to signal #France as a key AI hub in the world. Recently, OpenAI opened an office in Paris. Ina Fried reports for Axios that France is challenged by the vast access to venture #capital that competitors like the US and China enjoy with AI. With a hawkish regulatory environment, European leaders like France can lead on issues like trust and #ethics in the AI space. EthicAI builds #trust in AI solutions. We believe ethics-driven AI helps our clients minimise the risks and maximise the benefits of AI deployment. #TrustworthyAI #AINews #AIStrategy #AIForBusiness #ethicalAI #AIethics #genAI #responsibleAI #AIgovernance #AIlaw #AIpolicy (🔗 to article in comments)

🇪🇺 Mirakl is proud to sign the AI Pact pledge alongside many European tech companies! At Mirakl, we believe in the transformative potential of AI, and we are committed to advancing innovation responsibly. By voluntarily signing the AI Pact, we are aligning upstream with the AI Act’s vision for transparency, safety, and ethical AI development, as we continue to integrate AI into our solutions. The AI Pact has been initiated by the European Commission and consists in 3 core commitments: 1️⃣ Adopting an AI governance strategy for the uptake of AI 2️⃣ Mapping AI systems developed or used in areas considered high-risk under the EU AI Act 3️⃣ Promoting AI literacy amongst staff and other persons dealing with the deployment of AI systems on their behalf Hugo WEBER European Tech Alliance France Digitale #AIPact #AIResponsibility #EthicalAI #TechForGood #AIAct

The next frontier in #AI regulation needs to be global inclusion. In a recent piece in Foreign Policy, Dr. Rumman Chowdhury argued that "we have a critical responsibility" to protect users in global majority countries that are just starting to see AI introduced in their societies. In the upcoming G20 meeting, Brazilian President Lula da Silva will seek to amplify the voices of those in the Global South, lest we wind up with global governance that fails to accommodate the perspectives and needs of those currently lacking the capacity, personnel, and funding to meet the challenges of AI regulation. We now have a chance to see AI governance emerge in a way that overcomes international inequities and doesn't exacerbate the digital divide, but it will take serious investment and, more importantly, listening. Are we up to the task? https://lnkd.in/ebwGFZ3X

🌍 Ethical AI in Africa: A Call for Responsible Innovation Africa is at the forefront of leveraging AI for innovation and solving challenges. Yet, the ethical use of AI must remain a priority. We've seen cases of AI being misused for surveillance, disinformation, or amplifying biases—eroding trust and fairness. 🤖⚖️ To ensure AI truly serves the continent, we need transparency, accountability, and inclusivity. This means creating regulatory frameworks, fostering partnerships, and promoting diverse representation in AI teams. The future of AI in Africa depends on ethical innovation. Together, let’s build a responsible, equitable, and sustainable tech ecosystem. 🌟💡 #EthicalAI #AI #AI4Good #AfricaInnovation #TechForGood #ResponsibleTech

As the EU leads the way with its groundbreaking AI Act, it's time for Africa to take notes and chart its own path in AI governance. Here's what we can learn: -Risk-Based Approach: Prioritize oversight where it matters most. -Human-Centric AI: Put people first in AI development and deployment. -Transparency Requirements: Foster trust through openness. -Cross-Border Collaboration: AI knows no borders – neither should our regulations. -Innovation-Friendly Framework: Protect citizens without stifling growth. Africa has a unique opportunity to leapfrog in AI governance. By adapting these principles to our context, we can ensure AI benefits all Africans while addressing our specific challenges. What do you think? How can Africa lead in responsible AI development? #AIGovernance #AfricaTech #EUAIAct #ResponsibleAI #TechPolicy

Our President Dr. Renata Thiébaut 黄娜 shared insightful perspectives on AI governance in the Global South with UN Today Magazine. The participation of Global South nations in the international discussions over the responsible use of generative AI is necessary. The proposed agenda for inclusive AI should highlight the following points: 🌐Institutionalization of Technology-Related Activities: Create a specific unit to coordinate activities with international organizations and national governments. 📄Policy Coordination: Promote collaboration, harmonization of legal frameworks, knowledge-sharing, and enhance discussions on AI governance. 🏦Establishment of Financing Schemes: Incentivize research and development and establish financing schemes through public-private partnerships.

The impact of AI transcends borders. To provide solutions to our shared challenges, we must pursue a global, collaborative approach to AI policy – ensuring the benefits of technology are shared equitably. PJMF President Vilas Dhar joined leading voices in AI Carme Artigas, James Manyika, Volker Türk, Jian Wang, Alondra Nelson, and Ian Bremmer to discuss the crucial need for international collaboration in AI governance. With coordination, we can ensure no communities are left behind, and that technology truly strengthens civil society.
