It’s hard to pick just one takeaway, so here are three (and there were more!). First, the opening keynote, where Dr. Chinasa T. Okolo gave a very thoughtful — and thought-provoking — talk about AI innovation in Global Majority countries (ie, not the Global North). This included some interesting case studies that I wasn’t aware of and that I definitely want to dig deeper into (eg, NOODL and Kaitiakitanga). I also loved her focus on the need for a Global Knowledge Commons, which she described as “a set of interlocking commitments to open research infrastructure, multilingual knowledge systems, democratically accountable AI governance, and equitable participation in the tools and decisions that shape AI development.”
