Ante desafíos comunes sin precedentes, es evidente que las soluciones parciales, desconectadas y fragmentadas fracasarían. Lo que está en juego es demasiado importante: la acción colectiva debe ser integral y ambiciosa para tener éxito

@ClubdeMadrid is deeply saddened by the passing of Rovshan Muradov. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.
May he rest in peace.

[Nizami Ganjavi International Center - NGIC @NizamiGanjaviIC]

It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we inform Rovshan Muradov’s many friends and admirers around the world that he has passed away unexpectedly in Istanbul. He was there engaged in the work he so loved—organizing the participation of the Nizami Ganjavi International Center (NGIC) in an important international conference in Türkiye.

Rovshan was one of the founding members of the NGIC and served as its Secretary-General from its first days. Through his vision, dedication, and tireless efforts, he played a central role in building the institution into the internationally respected organization it is today. He recruited, mentored, and inspired the staff, established enduring partnerships across continents, and worked ceaselessly to strengthen the bonds of friendship among the Center’s distinguished members.
More than an able administrator and accomplished international figure, Rovshan possessed a rare gift for bringing people together. Through his warmth, and generosity of spirit, he fostered not only professional collaboration but also a genuine sense of family within the NGIC community. He was deeply respected, greatly admired, and sincerely loved by all who had the privilege of knowing and working with him.

His passing leaves an immense void in our hearts and in the life of the institution to which he devoted so much of himself. His legacy will endure in the organization he helped create, in the many friendships he nurtured, and in the countless lives he touched.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, his loved ones, and his many friends throughout the world. May they find comfort in the knowledge that Rovshan’s life was one of service, friendship, and lasting achievement, and that his memory will remain with us always.

Further information regarding memorial arrangements and opportunities to honor Rovshan’s memory will be communicated in due course.

[RegulatingAI @RegulatingAI]

At the Democratic AI Governance webinar co-organised by @ClubdeMadrid and Regulating AI, Seán Cleary, Chairman of Strategic Concepts and Club de Madrid Member, drew on one of history's most consequential governance frameworks to make his case.
The challenge before us, he argued, is not merely technical. It is civilisational. How do leading technological powers agree on a shared set of underlying principles — something akin to the nuclear treaties of the 1950s — that govern the development and deployment of AI?
The goal is not to halt progress. It is to optimize these technologies for constructive purposes while minimising the risk of harm.
Governance is not the opposite of innovation. It is what makes innovation sustainable.
