General Assembly: 68th Plenary meeting, 80th session
At the High-level Meeting on the overall review of the implementation of the outcomes of the World Summit Information Society (WSIS+20), our Deputy Director, Nandini Chami, represented IT for Change to address the United Nations General Assembly: 68th Plenary meeting, 80th session in New York.
In the intervention, Nandini urged for greater ambition:
- another innovation paradigm – South-led decentralized, small, agentic.
- concrete actions for redistributive justice – contributions for digital infrastructure from major transaction levies on technology companies, respect for the right of all countries to tax cross-
- border digital services, and reform of international trade.
- a normative framework for AI – an international AI constitution predicated on global democracy, and a Global Technology Assessment Mechanism to govern all emerging technologies.
