The document summarizes presentations and resources on artificial intelligence (AI) being developed by various United Nations organizations to address global challenges. The ITU and UNCTAD in Geneva are building an online faculty presenting AI applications around the world. Examples discussed include using AI for human augmentation, solving problems, well-being, art, e-government, financial inclusion, pandemics, and more. Arizona State University is also highlighted for its work scaling trust in technology and being ranked #1 for achieving the UN's sustainable development goals, including through partnerships and an AI summer camp for students.

1. 2021 will be the fourth year that the ITU of UN has built a faculty presenting what multidisciplinary AI (Artificial
Intelligence) is connecting around the world’s real-time platforms. Table shows a sample of youtube presentations

The ITU is the Geneva branch of the UN responsible for standards set by mobile telecoms operators. It is located near to the UNCTAD campus
which also hosts the summer school of the Young Scholars Initiative of the Soros funded Ineteconomics.org. One of the World Economic Forum’s 5
main Industrial Revolution 4 hubs is also networked out of Geneva which itself is twinned with Vienna as Europe’s other main UN hub. Across the
Atlantic in New York the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, will be in the 4th year of hosting a parallel expert advisory network on Digital
Cooperation. Some DC solutions are world changing but are as yet less publicly accessible. Among several reasons for low visibility, Guterres
probably did not want to make AI climate solutions political fodder under Trump’s reign. 2021 offers an urgent educational and sustainable
economics opportunity for open scholars networks with youthful and trusted New York hubs to leap forward with diffusion of environmental AI’s
deep learning through worldwide. communities There are also a lot of NY investor channels that now zoom their leadership findings including both
climate festival and city mayors’ networks of Bloomberg and the West’s biggest investment funds, buoyed by pension money of up to 300 trillion
dollars. Together with academia they have coined ESG and ERM terminologies but exponential data analysis needs to come together professionally,
transparently and actionably whether the unifying subject is called climate AI or something else. Additionally, Guterres has formed a special UN
panel prepared to counter the possibility that facebook will try to cream off a global digital currency in 2021. Such issues together with blended
education modes offer the window of opportunity to make an entrepreneurial fringe festival to Glasgow cop26 a far more popular and youthful
celebration of continuous civic engagement in healthy, green and lives matter community building than previous cops.

2. ASU Scaling Trust & Tech America's #1 new sdg university – a partner of OSUN
To start to see how ASU is building this reputation as well as being ranked top at sdg 1 ending poverty –
these links are currently little more than a selection of google alerts over the last 4 years but we feel they
indicate exciting collaboration opportunities once matched with other major AIforsdg epicentres

17 AI and infinitely scaleable learning President Crow sees Higher Ed and EdTech developments that will
enable the growth. He’s championing a 5 realm framework for transformational universities
Realm 1: Full immersion, on campus, tech-enhanced (ideas and means of the university)
• Math and science mastery for all
Realm 2: Digital immersions, EdTech enabled
• Need integrated human tutor interface, real-time assessment
Realm 3: Digital immersion, massively open, tech-enhanced
• Need tech that derives value from scale
• Content and delivery for any life stage, multi-organization pathway mapping
Realm 4: Education through exploration and game-based learning
• Need virtual augmented reality for learning
• Direct human cognition linkages
• Intelligent tutoring through verbal query
• Residence hall with built in maker labs
Realm 5: Infinitely scalable learning
• Need: infinitely scalable teaching
• Seamless integration of individualized learning across life stages
• Lifelong intelligent tutoring

3. Late 2020 US GOV’S NIST -NATIONAL INSTITUTE STANDARDS - ANNOUNCES AI AS NEW WORLD CLASS PROGRAM
NIST is adopting the identity #ExplainableAI to advocate SYSTEMIC benchmarking OF 4 component principles
1. Explanation: Systems deliver accompanying evidence or reason(s) for all outputs.
2. Meaningful: Systems provide explanations that are understandable to individual users.
3. Accuracy: The explanation correctly reflects the system’s process for generating the output.
4. Knowledge Limits: The system only operates under conditions for which it was designed or when the system
reaches a sufficient confidence in its output.

4. Last Call Decade- it wasn’t necessary to take sustainability exponentials down to wire, but let’s just humanize AI in time
Can education boldly go intergenerational? The age of humans and machines started up with Glasgow U’s Smith
and Watt 1760. 20 decades on Fazle Abed graduates in engineering at GU. 6 decades on: can Adam Smith scholars
mediate not only world class leadership climate commitments at COP26 but an 11++too. AIsingapore.org already
benchmarks Sir Fazle’s wish that teachers from pre-adolescence on help youth explore humanizing AI gravitated
around SDG apps.
Back in 1984, my family’s publication of 2025report.com with The Economist argued why transforming academia
and media would be essential by 2025. OSUN can do that if any youth valuing movement can. Let me share my
biggest mistake in looking to top-down instead of bottom-up as the 5G 4G 3G 2G 1G 0G countdown accelerated.
In 1999, I was working for the world’s largest communications agency. My academic contribution editing triple
special issue of journal management as senior visiting fellow to a top 3 UK business school. I had spent twenty
years mapping demands of Asian societies of the world’s global corporations for a database set up by professors at
Harvard and MIT. When I made my presentation to Harvard’s marketing faculty, their feedback was: you may be
correct but nobody in USA will fund that. So, we looked East for updates on how a billion people had progressed
the concerns of The Economist Norman Macrae’s 1977 survey on Rural Keynesianism. A new ray of light came
from BRAC’s Sir Fazle Abed first presentation “small may be beautiful but across South Asia large scale is
absolutely essential” to Soros Open Society in New York in 2007. Through 2010s Sir Fazle’s declared legacy
innovation became university coalitions. For his final year, he chose Vincent Chang to steward his legacy -a
Taiwanese American educator respected by technologists at MIT, Yale, Berkeley, Mountain View as well as the
Hong Kong Shenzhen university system. References to Scottish School of Economics – Adam Smith’s mid 18th century writings at
the start of the industrial revolution were continued in France by JB Say acknowledged by Peter Drucker as the origin of “Entrepreneur” and
from 1843 by the founder of The Economist James Wilson. The purpose of The Economist as a newsletter circulated at London’s Royal
Societies was to change the English constitution from Colonizing Empire to Commonwealth trader. Wilson died of diarrhea in Calcutta, nine
months into redesigning Raj economics with permission of Charter Bank by Queen Victoria. His son-in-law Walter Bagehot picked up The
Economist baton and reformation of the English Constitution. The 1943 centenary autobiography of The Economist sums up the first 100
years of this “mediation”. What happened over the next 50 years to innovation dialogues such as telecommuting, Japan and Asia Rising
economies, Rural Keynesianism , Entrepreneurial Revolution, future history megatrends appears in surveys archived online at
www.normanmacrae.net as well as 2000 unsigned leaders printed at The Economist.
