It's our busiest time of the year! The next few days of #GlobalGoalsWeek and #UNGA79 are chock full of excellent events related to the #SDGs.

RT by @EIB: “Innovation is not only about technology and finance, but also about approaches, which can have a positive impact on the people, not only of Egypt or Europe, but of the world, if we listen to and learn from each other.”

Oxfam speaker at #SummitOfTheFuture AI governance side event calls back to Amandeep Singh Gill's opening comments today that "Well managed commons are the foundation of human development" - to highlight that, what counts as #commons is a political question... going on to argue that we need to make sure AI & Data Policy dialogues include all rightsholders in those commons, and those affected by their use or exploitation.
Microsoft #SummitOfTheFuture speaker in AI governance side event: "You need electricity, connectivity to get benefits of AI"... but this framing is flawed.
When data & machine-learning models set policy, shape infrastructure, change jobs etc. AI impacts even 'non-users' - for good & bad.
We need to talk about modern data and AI divides not industry-friendly narrative of universal access ... but in terms of divides in distribution of benefits/harms whether people directly access tech or not
