Meeting the Paris Summit Goal for ‘More Inclusive’ AI Means Getting Stakeholder Engagement Right

Five people and a dog are seen outlined in orange, against an orange background. Two of the people talk to each other, one stands along with a stick, one walks a dog, and the other is in a wheelchair. All of them look at their mobile phones intently, and all cast shadows on the ground. The shadows are made up of network diagrams, being representative, rather than literal shadows.

AI Countergovernance: Lessons Learned from Canada and Paris

A detailed digital collage inspired by the aesthetic of medieval manuscript illustrations, depicts a vibrant scene of construction workers building a structure. The traditional elements, such as figures in traditional Persian gowns, wooden ladders, ropes, and woven sacks, are interwoven with modern technological motifs like circuit boards, QR codes, and cloud icons. Bright, glowing, golden networks of interconnected nodes and symbols of digital technology overlay the scene, blending the past and present. On the left, Arabic calligraphy is imprinted onto the paper. The composition uses contrasting textures and colours to juxtapose and interweave the themes and eras.
