AI is advancing fast—but who ensures it serves the public good?
At the Global Ethics Forum 2025, Emilija Stojmenova Duh shared a powerful message:

AI must remain under human authority—and guiding it responsibly requires both clarity and courage.

As technology evolves, we must ask:
💬 Who holds power in the AI ecosystem?
💬 How do we ensure accountability and oversight?
💬 Can innovation move forward without compromising democratic values?

✨ This talk explores why ethical governance, responsible leadership, and human-centred approaches are more important than ever.

🤖 AI is powerful—but so is the responsibility to guide it.
At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, Dr. Chinmay Pandya reminded us that, like all transformative technologies, AI can either serve humanity—or harm it—depending on the values that shape it.

That’s why inclusive dialogue matters. Not only across sectors, but across beliefs and traditions.
💬 What role should religious leaders and multifaith voices play in AI governance?
💬 How can diverse ethical perspectives help build more human-centred AI?

We’re continuing this important conversation at the AI for Good Global Summit:

📅 8 July

🌆 In this clip from our course with UNESCO "Empowering Civil Society Organizations to Lead the Way in Advancing AI Ethics," facilitator Arpita (Digital Empowerment Foundation), prompts us to rethink how we perceive and speak about AI.

Questions to consider:
❓When someone mentions AI, do you automatically think ChatGPT?
❓Why does this association happen---and is it dangerous?

India is rapidly becoming a global hub for AI innovation—but innovation alone isn’t enough.

From insights shared at IC-AIETS 2026, one message stands out: ethical, human-centred, and inclusive approaches must be built into AI from the start—not added later.

As AI transforms sectors like healthcare, agriculture, and education, the real challenge is not just technical—it’s social, cultural, and moral.

👉 How do we ensure AI respects dignity, reduces inequalities, and contributes to sustainable development?
👉 What role should education, policy, and leadership play in shaping responsible AI?

This blog explores why values-driven governance and capacity building are essential to ensure AI truly serves people and planet: https://youtube.com/shorts/js0DHtXNmfU

We’re excited to bring the conversation on inclusive AI governance to WSIS Forum 2026 🌐💬

📅 6 July 2026 | 11:00–11:45
📍 Room A, ITU Tower, Geneva (Hybrid – join in person or online)

Globethics will host a policy dialogue panel entitled Empowering Voices: Strengthening CSO and Youth Participation in AI Governance.

This session brings together several of our Ethical AI Governance Fellows to explore a simple but urgent question: how do we ensure that AI governance reflects diverse voices—not just the most resourced ones?

Civil society organisations and young leaders have a vital role to play in shaping ethical, inclusive AI. Yet too often, access to knowledge, training, and global policy spaces remains limited. In this conversation, we’ll share practical experiences from fellowship programmes, mentorship models, and capacity-building initiatives that are helping change that.

🎙️Hear from Pedro Maia, Emaan Yasin Malik, Addie Achan, Vasileios Rovilos
If you’re interested in AI policy, digital inclusion, or strengthening multi-stakeholder governance, this session is for you.

What happens when a leader feels invisible — even among people who look like them?

In this deeply personal ELIF reflection, Master Trainers share experiences of exclusion and bias. These stories reveal a powerful truth: inclusion is not automatic — even within shared racial, regional, or linguistic identities.

Ethical leadership must therefore address:
✔ Subtle discrimination and unconscious bias
✔ Organisational culture and belonging
✔ Psychological safety in workplaces
✔ Cross-cultural competence within Africa itself

***

This video is part of the Ethical Leadership for an Inclusive Future (ELIF) programme, implemented by and the All Africa Conference of Churches.

📍 ELIF is active in six African countries: Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia, Cameroon, Togo, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

🌍 About ELIF

The Ethical Leadership for an Inclusive Future (ELIF) project (2025–2026) empowers leaders in Church and Church-Related Organisations (CCROs) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to:
✔ Strengthen ethical decision-making
✔ Promote youth and women’s inclusion
✔ Combat corruption
✔ Advance social, economic, and ecological justice

Do we really need bigger AI models — or just better ones?

In this clip, Chandrima Ganguly, PhD, one of our 2026 Ethical AI Governance Fellows, challenges a core assumption driving today’s AI race: that scale equals progress. Instead, Chandrima points to a different path — one where smaller, purpose-built models trained on curated datasets can outperform larger systems while using far fewer resources.

🌐Importantly, it could mean AI that is designed, governed, and owned closer to the communities it serves.

💡This conversation is part of the launch of the Open Track webinar series within the 2026 Emerging Leaders in Ethical AI Governance Fellowship by Globethics. It brings forward voices who are not just analysing AI ethics — but actively shaping how it is implemented in real-world contexts.
Because while frameworks for fairness, accountability, and transparency continue to evolve, putting them into practice across diverse social, cultural, and institutional realities remains one of the field’s greatest challenges.

New on the blog! 💬💡

AI is reshaping how we work, make decisions, create, and connect. But if we focus only on speed and productivity, we risk overlooking something deeper: our ability to live meaningful, fulfilling lives.

In our latest article, we explore a key question: what should AI actually be for?

Drawing on insights from the Global Flourishing Study (Human Flourishing Program at Harvard & Baylor University) and Kurt Vonnegut’s EPICAC, we argue for AI that is designed, governed, and used to support human flourishing — not just output.
