March Hope for Womens Futures like No Other

 We sub-eds of linkedin Unwomens cant recall a month of so many giant leaps for women4empowerment since fazle Abed birthed BRAC in 1972

March 1 - sharing 5 hours as Fei-Fei Li briefed us at nairr on her 2 days of briefing washongton dc first birthday of government studying ai ; apparently national science foundation and others now have 2 billion dolar budget for ai and they have decided that chatgpt and ai are inseparable at least until they have their own sgpt ; this is all quite a muddle because stanford can clone gpts for as little as 600 dolars; hopefully one womens gpt will emerge

About 12 days ago sws23 (updated unwomens demands) and these were briefed in new york at the same rime as 8000 real people attended sdg water ( all womens /corcular economies see water the way that all mens carbon economies see carbon) and about 2000 people including 200 real were brieg=fed on guterres last 3 dull colege years - global futures firum - as far as women connecting goes mrs espinosa who led the unga on theme of women popped up all over town to make sure no dot is left unconnected

also look out for  un summit beyond gdp - if you love children there's an infinitely bigger economy not measured by gdp; i say infinite because if the worlds biggest decision makers continue to see GDP as the only metric, extinction is coming - over to the sdgs.games if you feel the future is worth saving

 media connectivity & computational database consequences have accelerated (exponentially) since world war 2 and digital platforms have been webbed then mobilised from 1990s/2000s- the consequences of media platforms we spend our time in (UN Universal Connectivity) and data being computed real time (UN AIGood) between any 2 points (GPS) of the planet can be ever more social or ever more anti-social-

 what we design in the 2020s will likely be last chance of the younger half of the world to be first sustainability generation - this applies to whatever is making a community you live in unhappy, afraid hurt

look at every Un video onAIi on sdgmetaverseprize.org - work out which ones societies you care about need- remember everywhere is likely producing relevant data but is yours being mapped- are teachers involved in designing back the 3 billion new jobs shown- where they are teens soennd most afternnots apprenticing in communities not being examined on theory- some schooling systems has taken at least one service in community project back as early as 7 year olds - why not find out what eg 7 year olds do as projects in amercan international school in barcelona and see whether your community offers parallel expereinces

look at how singapire's www.worldtoilet.org creates viral stories (free new for good) so that sanitation becomes a worldwide movement supported everywhere and increasingly integrated into schools curriculum -what kids know about health needs to be as imporatnt as any other curriculum in 21st C 

solar energy inventioms have been available since 1880; when they first really mattered is partly a populatiion thing - in 2020s we may go over 8 billion beings compared with the 2 billion trapped in world war 2; as it happens my granaprents home in isle of aran had an early waring - when I was 4 neigbours would take turns to row not more than 50 feet into the bay and fill boat with mackerel then shared across the town; by age 9 the clyde was poluted mackerel were never seen agian- charging companies zero for poluting waters was certainly a local mistake though I can understand peoples need to balance human versus machine energy needs; what did not need to haoen was the worlds largest energy comapnies hiding data on global warming that they have done since the 1970s; sadly televiison pr has increasingly been used the wrong way in the west ; some comanies spend billions of dollars (if custmes money) to misinform

Title: Can AI help bridge the gap between quality deliberation and mass participation?

Abstract: One unsolved problem in democratic theory is how we can reconcile the twin goals of quality deliberation and mass participation. Both are arguably conditions for the full legitimacy of a democratic system. Quality deliberation, as a process through which laws and policies are generated, in theory promises good governance (output-legitimacy) as well as, at the very least, good reasons for the laws and policies put forward. Mass participation, by contrast, is a condition for the democratic input-legitimacy of the system, namely its capacity to take into account people’s needs and preferences. Unfortunately, thus far, it has proven impossible to reconcile those two goals as the quality of deliberation diminishes past a relatively low threshold of participants (a few hundreds, perhaps a few thousand people) and mass participation, on the other hand, is not conducive to the thoughtful, informed exchanges smaller numbers afford. In this presentation I explore the ways in which Artificial Intelligence may help bridge that gap, at least up to a point, using examples of relatively large-scale deliberative processes in France, Taiwan, and Chile. ======================================== ===================chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk writes teachforsdgs.com back in 1950 dad (norman) at the economist expereinced 2 scoops _ meeting von neumann he was advised always ask leaders what will they dpo with next decade's 100 times "moore" tech (comp and media) british parliament had just ordered the british broadcasting corporation delay reporting of partiament by at least a week "because parliament is the supreme announcer or rules by 1984 dad & my book 2025report debated why sustainability would depend on designing world web to be open and massive educational not vested to the laregst advertisers I can ad ar least 50 other4 occasions when alumni of smith and of Economit founding mediator James Wislson contributed to today's OxYale

part 1 of oh wxyz

 hello Ms Z - i know several fashion conscious chinese/asian americans in new york- do you have a link to your business or your goals - happy to try and scale collaboration - at the UN Guterres promised a big future summit in 2023; I am hoping to find many people who help action that either directly or by hosting a fringe festival  - i need to do a lot of editing at www.unwomens.com - do you use lunchclub? - meeting quite a lot of helpful people  chris macrae +1 240 316 8157 also i believe that www.musicforsdgs.com  (led out of wall street by a Japanese friend) and other conscious arts movements can make communities better- back in 1991 i was asked how to help brand then superstar ayrton senna - connection who youth celebrates why is a huge opportunity if we can all earn trust - women much more capable than men in most of my experience! wash dc +1 240 316 8157 I much prefer working on brand leaders or teachers with almost no money budget but huge amount of good to multiply - I have been writing books on that for 30 years but my time at world's biggest ad agency did energise me!... so much to learn...

================================

it probably shows my age but i keep myself optimistic with rhymes that I thought were nonsense eg lear's oh WXYZ

now i realise that he may of meant that once leaders gett too big to listen to others they may no longer be able to do good in any real communities

do you have a fav rhyme that turns out to be worth recalling?

 

ESG Themes for 2022

• Pathways to Net-Zero Come into Focus: Given the movement towards standardization across corporate net-zero targets, 2022 will be a defining year when the discussion evolves from corporate pledges to well-defined transition plans. • A Coming of Age for Carbon Markets: Climate commitments will bring carbon markets to the forefront in 2022, both in terms of their ability to accelerate the global transition to net-zero as well as growing scrutiny on effectiveness and transparency. • Advancing Diversity and Inclusion through the Sustainable Debt Market: In 2022, the sustainable debt market will continue to flourish as an avenue to advance diversity and inclusion efforts alongside climate goals.

Dear Michael

Stunning soros speech today on brexit- thanks  for circulating

2016 is 40th year since my father Norman Macrae published Entrepreneurial Revolution in The Economist 25 December 1976 - the first 40 year future history of what it would take to sustain net generation. I believe he then informally shared a lot of ideas with George Soros in his London home  including my fathers 1984 prediction of when the Berlin Wall would fall and how to handle emergent new leadership

A small board of global youth led by chinese women and a team in Bangladesh and I are writing world record book of job creators with a top 10 that includes George Soros...  Is there someone i can send my soros chapter to who can check for any inaccuracies or subtleties that may not be culturally the most valuable  for under 30s  to prioritise action around Soros hope for the future? 

sincerely
