🗞 [WEEKEND READ] What does responsible AI look like in practice? This new report from UNESCO and the Thomson Reuters Foundation looks at how companies are actually adopting and governing AI across nearly 3,000 firms globally, and where major gaps remain. Three main findings:  ▶︎ 44% of companies report having an AI strategy, often focused on accelerating adoption ▶︎12% have policies in place to ensure human oversight of AI systems ▶︎11% of companies evaluated environmental impacts, and only 7% evaluated the human rights impacts of their AI use These findings highlight a clear opportunity to pair technological progress with stronger governance, greater transparency, and more robust accountability.

💡 What does it take to build a more effective, agile and future-ready United Nations? It means strengthening the capabilities that turn ambition into delivery. As Guy Ryder, UN Under-Secretary-General for Policy, put it: UN 2.0 is central to getting the UN’s job done. Data and technology are not add-ons.
