Episode Nine: Lessons from UNESCO's blueprint for human-centred digital and AI governance

Theme:
UNESCO has developed concrete tools for governments ready to act on human-centred digital and AI governance. Its Data Governance Toolkit, AI competency frameworks for civil servants, and capacity-building programmes reaching over 190 countries provide a ready-made foundation.

This episode breaks down what those frameworks contain, how they have been applied, and what governments can take from them today to strengthen their own governance structures.

Speakers

1. Dr. Paul Twomey, Co-Chair, Global Initiative for Digital Empowerment, former CEO of ICANN.
2. Guilherme Canela, Director, Division for Digital Inclusion and Policies and Digital Transformation, UNESCO
