@RIAnetwork @vukosi @DSFSI_Research @IDRC_CRDI @Sida @FCDOGovUK @AI4Dev I am very saddened that I could not attend such an important and timely conference. Thank you to @RIAnetwork for organizing such a valuable platform for a #Just #AI ecosystem.

[FENDJI Jean Louis @lfendji]

I would like to sincerely thank Prof. David Leslie for providing such a timely platform. I also thank Abu Bakr Kalam for the excellent summary he wrote about the event https://t.co/pcacH9oOU4. You can also read the paper I wrote on @TheHDSR website: https://t.co/vV8mQxGJaf

On June 20, I had the privilege of being invited to the event titled "Future Shock: The #Generative #AI #Policy Dilemma." It was organized by Prof. David Leslie (from @QMUL and Director of Ethics and Responsible Innovation Research at @turinginst) and @harvard_data.

[FENDJI Jean Louis @lfendji]

The objective was twofold: to launch the Policy Forum of the Special Issue of the @TheHDSR titled "Future Shock: Grappling with the #Generative #AI #Revolution," and to inaugurate a new interactive platform for the Turing’s AI Ethics & Governance in Practice programme.
