WHO’s report, Ethics and governance of artificial intelligence for health, is the result of two years of consultations held by a panel of international experts appointed by WHO.…
【マラケシュIDN=ヨセフ・ベン・メイル】
国連の持続可能な開発目標(SDGs)は、きわめて大胆な普遍性を持っており、誠実な目標とともに世界的に関連ある問題に対処しようとするものである。根本的に良いものを提供しているが目標には根本的な問題がある。目標は処方箋を欠いている。地元の人々の参加という、持続可能性の実現にとって必要不可欠だと思われるような内容すら、明確には盛り込めていない。
関連して言えば、17項目のSDGsが選ばれたプロセス自体が、世界の地域社会が表明したニーズ全体を反映したものではなかった。結果として、SDGsが生活改善を支援する対象となる人々は、ほとんどSDGsの存在そのものを知ることがなく、同時に、17項目を行動のための有益なガイドとして利用するために、彼らは力を与えられる必要があるのである。…

مراكش (IDN) – تعد أهداف التنمية المستدامة للأمم المتحدة عالمية حسبما نأمل بحيث تعالج القضايا ذات الصلة على الصعيد العالمي بأهداف جادة. على الرغم من الخير العميق الذي تمثله، هناك مشاكل أساسية تتعلق بتلك الأهداف. إنها تفتقر إلى التوجيه، إلى حد عدم توافقها صراحة مع شرط نعلم أهميته بالنسبة للاستدامة: مشاركة السكان المحليين.…

MARRAKECH (IDN) — Los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) de las Naciones Unidas tienen una aspiración universal y abordan cuestiones de relevancia mundial con objetivos serios. Pese al profundo bien que representan, existen problemas fundamentales con los Objetivos. Carecen de prescriptividad, hasta el punto de no atenerse explícitamente a lo que sabemos que es indeleble para la sostenibilidad: la participación de la población local.…

SINGAPORE (IDN) — Imagine. The most remote of mountains. Two thousand metres above sea level. On the Silk Road, and 240 km away from China. In secondary cities with populations going up to 150,000. Therein, majestically stands a fully-residential university, delivering a world-class education for the next generation of Central Asian learners—regardless of their financial position.
On June 19, the University of Central Asia (UCA) made history. Its inaugural cohort of 57 students will graduate in Computer Science; Communications and Media; Economics and Earth and Environmental Science. (P10) CHINESE | JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF | TURKISH

They lack prescriptiveness, even to the extent of not explicitly aligning with what we know is indelible to sustainability: local people’s participation.
