PREVENTING EXTINCTION - THE GREATEST HUMAN INTEREST STORY?
The 17 SDGs were launched at 2015 september general assembly sept -- a legacy testimony to Bank Ki Moon's leadership. Guterres, Engineer and Practice Public Servant extraordinaire (Previously Portugal's national leader), who had led UN refugees services for over a decade started his leadership of UN out of NY HQ Jan 2017 to end 2026. Within a year, rumors of worldwide search for Digital Cooperation expert panel were circulating; by summer these were confirmed - within 10 months leading tech experts from 20 countries would be chaired by US Melinda Gates an China's Jack Ma who had been the youth content host of G20 Hangzhou 2016 as well as chair of the entrepreneur committee of China's busiensmen who want to leave the wporld a better place which is sitauted in the middle of China's 2 main universities : Tsinghua and Peking - rebuilt as the ;largest 16 square miles of eneytrperenuril labs including Kai-Fu's lee's recommendation of AI Avenue . | With regard to the world's largest cashless bank in population terms - www.bkash.com -one of the crowning hi-tech hi-trust legacies of half a century of poverty alleviation by fazle abed & billion villager women empowerment (sdg 5women 4ed 3health 2food 1finance can end poverty) : jack and melinda's foundations had come together as major co-investors. Furthermore Jack had been described by world bank jim kim as inventing bottom -up ai deep data in a way he had never seen before - and would challenge every world bank operations to review. That being done by fall 2016, Jim Kim introduced Jack to the Geneva head of UNCTAD sept 2016 and by early 2017 Ma had been appointed as spevial trainer of tech wizards africa. Ma had already announced his retirement as Ali Baba leader - at world economic forum he would partner Japan Olympics, return full time to worldwide youth education - the job he had cheriseh for the first years of his life becoming China's most popular English teacher. Jack is a world citizen - by 2017 and this may be part of his downfall- softbank Masa Son and Goldman sachs were as much AliBaba's task masters as anyone. Jack's family were used to ups & downs ; they had been a troup of traveling players but some of their moral plays fell the wrong side of the cultural revolution. Our point is that Jack made an extraordinary architectural contribution to getting Un2.0 credible- even as he appears not to be free to directly contribute to any youth's current hopes as of 2022 Nobody in summer 2018 knew that the DC report was to feed the core idea of Guterres 10 years - UN2.0 Digital Roadmapping. This bookmark shows how quickly Dc reporting had beceme a 9 platform partnership in can UN be digitalised https://www.un.org/en/sg-digital-cooperation-panel |
UPDATE SUMMER 2022 -as well as worldide process integration in at least 50 Un operation office assisted by UN's digotal twin from birth 1945 ITU Geneva- at least 3 small but specail ops teams have been set up direct;ly to serve Gutterers coordnatioon out of new york
2022: the overall lead isa small team seving Guterres : the tech envoy office- its had some straffing disruptions but its really revving up summer 2022
Globalpulse is a deep data team
OC is another tech team

=========
Portugal and humanitarian world's Antonio Guterres 10 year term started late 2016 - one year after sustainability's 15 year deadline was agreed by all nations sept 2015
No sooner that Guetrres started than so did 7 no trumps; what with 4 years of trump; 2017-2021 ; endless (well unknow edn date) covid from start of 2020; endless putin war (well unknow end date) including endless disrupption of basic food markets the porest depend on ;
the largest ever population of refugees - and hell knows what else the world has thrpown at Guterres , its amazing he has also taken on UN2.0 - digital UN as his own legacy for humanity; but then as an engineer, servnat leader (his servoice to refugees beng aligned toi frabcsican ways), former prime miniter of one of teh EU countries most different from Brussels centralisation plan - we should be grateful for what Guterres is trying to do in giving milklennials and their parents the opportunity to make tech the solution not thye endgame to homo sapines
As we feauire here Guterres has set up a headquaretrs NY team called tech envoy offuice with 2 new specialist teams on dtata and on countries Q&A on what they need next on digital ; there are 9 jigsaw pieces to assembling digita Un2.0; its important to understand how these 9 terms foirm the digital recipe of the UN(where did they first get parfctised in the UN) and how do they compare with other peoples view of the alphapbetical and alphanumric soups of digital
UN2.0
Artificial Intel (at the UN) became arguably the invation to unite etch for good when 2017 ITU started hosting what in times of zoom has been continuous AI summiting -colaunched by the IEEE's doyen of AI Steve I baracchi and two main players of singularirty university's Xprize- founder Diamandis and then Xprize directior Marcus Shingles now inviting every next year of learning to build metaverse for sdgs into UN and high school up approaches to empoiwering youth as sdg generation
7 to 9 June 2017
(the un's digotal twin out Of Geneva) at birth 1945 UN policy HW NY this resembles what MIT and Stanford meant by twinning AI labs in early 1960s - ie the legacy of 100 times more tech per decade gifted by von neumann and his (Goats) of mathematics eg Einstein , Turing (these 3 greats had died by 1957 - Neumann dying tragically early as his cooordinating responsibility for the us winning the race to nuckear gave him brain cancer ) - see my family's biography of von neumman and journalism of his question 100 times more tech peer decade since my dad met V neumman princeton 1951 -see also EconomistLearning sectors of EconomistDiary since 1951 when Economist sub-editotr Macrae (dad) met von neummann and was mentored in the biggest jouranlisam innovation scoop of all time - alumnisat 100 times motre tech per decade 3035-1835 - see also boigraphy of von neumann by macare
something else was officially born as a bridge between Geneva and NY UNs in 2017 - Digital Cooperation- actually tjhis began at the first 12 month appraisal of hod sdg4 education was goind led by gordon broiwn - it was conclkuded that some countries would not reach sdg4 to yera 2100 unless 3 boosts became real:UniversalConnectivity - This had in effect been what the ITU has prposed around teh world since its begii=innings in bern 1865 at the fusion of electricity and communication - first in telegraph, soon in telecommuications -the meaning of T since the ITU was intergarted into UN's bit=rth- note by defition nobody wants 2 telephone systems - so the ITU's job has been to connect the industry scetiors that have to colaboirate for worlkdwide to be delivered in tele-processes; thiese include from 1964 how satellite televisual connections link in
so now we know where 3 terms cam from we cam start to fit in the other pieces of jigsaw the way Un2.0 archiytects /roadmaps the future
Digital Public Goods - a natural ally to ITU's role gloabl connectivity -a fter all airwaves are a commons whethert you map that at national subnational or transational level
Digital Capaciuty Building - training everywhere
Digital Human Rights - clearly HUman Rights langauge/actions has been a main faciliation raison d'eftre in its work - so if we are to celebrate digoita Un wit is only natural to map where digiotal human rigfhts are rising expoenentially not collapsing
as we discuss at economistun we have 3 more terms to co-work the way UN2.0 is being architected:
Digital Inclusion; Digital Trust and Secutity; and CODES: COllab Digita Environmental Sustainability
