SUMMARY:UNESCO Policy Dialogue on AI Governance
DESCRIPTION:Event summary \nWith the arrival of generative AI\, governments around the world have started to pay urgent attention to the risks of these increasingly powerful and ubiquitous systems\, and to develop and implement new governance frameworks. The European Union has adopted a binding horizontal framework for AI regulation with the AI Act. Other major developments include the United States’ Executive Order on AI\, the G7 Hiroshima Process\, and recent proposals by Brazil and Chile for new AI laws\, among others. National research institutions focusing on AI safety have been established in the US\, the UK\, and Japan. \nIn the context of this changing landscape and emerging challenges of implementing responsible and effective systems of AI governance\, the Social and Human Sciences Sector of UNESCO is hosting a Policy Dialogue on AI Governance\, which will include a series of events designed to address these pressing issues. This event is hosted in conjunction with a closed-door meeting by the AI Ethics Experts without Borders meeting on the 27th June. \nThe event will kick off with a session presenting the latest implementation outcomes of the UNESCO Recommendation\, followed by a launch of the first report of a major project between UNESCO and the Dutch Digital Infrastructure Authority\, funded by the European Commission – DG Reform. The event will also include the launch of a report exploring the potential impacts of AI on political life and democracy\, as well as panels on topics such as the synthetic content and the role of international development assistance in fostering AI for good. \nEvent details\n\nDate: 28th June\, 2024\nTime: 09:30 – 18:00\nVenue: UNESCO Headquarters\, 7 Place du Fontenoy\nRoom: Room IX \nRegister

SUMMARY:Austrian Forum for Peace 2024: “Towards a Climate of Peace”
DESCRIPTION:WHERE\nRochusplatz 1 / Burg Schlaining\, 7461\, Stadtschlaining \nYou can find our guest information here. \n  \nRecent events in different parts of the world have shown that violence\, militarisation and war are once again being used and presented as legitimate ways of asserting economic and political interests. Important peace processes are stalling\, multilateral organisations are losing their relevance\, the calls for dialogue and civil society-based tools of conflict resolution and peace work are fading\, and resources are lacking. \nThis year’s Austrian Forum for Peace\, titled “Towards a Climate of Peace“\, aims to address the challenges of international conflict transformation in a changing world. The conference seeks to strengthen networks\, discuss different approaches\, initiate thought processes\, generate ideas\, and contribute to the promotion of sustainable global peace. \nIncreasing global complexity and unpredictability are exacerbated by the effects of the man-made climate crisis. This threat is felt across conflict lines and can worsen the burden on countries affected by conflict. However\, it can also be an opportunity to build trust between opposing parties and work together on solutions. This approach\, known as Environmental Peacebuilding\, was first discussed at the UN Climate Change Conference COP 28 in 2023 and has been specifically pursued at the ACP for some time. \nAt the same time\, the global system is becoming more fragmented and restructured\, partly due to the increasing number of international mediation parties\, some of which are involved in conflicts. In this new reality\, one possible approach could be to use the comparative advantages of new\, different actors in a targeted manner to support regions affected on their way to a climate of peace. \nThe use of technology\, including artificial intelligence\, also plays a major role not only in warfare worldwide\, but increasingly also in considerations and projects for the prevention of civil conflict and peacebuilding. \n  \nEvent Schedule and More Info
