Christine Ajulu will be representing The Open Institute at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 this week, speaking in the session on Designing Rights-Respecting AI: Privacy and #AI Systems. #AI governance debates accelerate globally, perspectives from the Global South must shape how systems are designed, deployed, and governed. The Open Institute works at the intersection of data governance, active citizenship, and emerging technologies across Africa. Our focus is simple: ensuring that technological systems strengthen rights, participation, and accountability. We look forward to contributing to this important global conversation in Delhi — and to sharing reflections afterwards. #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026 #CivicDataLab #DataForPublicGood #ResponsibleAI #DataCollaboratives #DigitalPublicInfrastructure #EthicalAI #OpenData #AIForSocialGood #GovTech #PublicInterestTech #DataEcosystems #AIImpactSummit2026 @Data4SDGs @FutureAIimpact

The next frontier of AI isn’t in distant clouds, it’s happening right where data is born. In The Intelligence Shift, Amber Caramella, CRO at Netrality Data Centers, examines the accelerating move of AI inference to the edge and what it means for global infrastructure. From real-time decision-making to tiered inference strategies balancing speed, accuracy, and cost this shift is redefining digital operations across every industry. Through advanced interconnection, adaptive power systems, and sustainable design, Netrality Data Centers is building the environments where AI can act, learn, and evolve, faster and closer than ever before.

Some build apps. GAEA builds ecosystems. (Your data → living soil → collective intelligence) Finally, tech that grows with the earth, not over it. Respect. 👏 @aigaealabs #EthicalAI #DataEcosystems

How do you outrun disruption and outperform the competition? Faster decision-making and better insights. It's why the very best in the industry are already applying an AI-first mindset to make sense of scattered data, connecting the dots, and visualizing the future before everyone else. Hear from #LTIMindtree's very own Deepak Khosla, along with experts from Toyota, @Cisco and @AmadeusITGroup, as they share how they’re winning the data game with AI in their corner. #FutureFasterTogether #DataEcosystems #AI

SESRIC, in collaboration with @AITRS_, @UNESCWA, @IEA, @TurkStat, and @UNStats, organised a side event on “Accelerating Data-Driven Energy Transitions through Collaborative Data Ecosystems” in the margins of the 56th Session of the UN Statistical Commission. The event brought together around 6⃣0⃣ participants from 2⃣0⃣ @OIC_OCI countries, including NSOs, ministries of energy, and relevant international organisations. Experts and policymakers discussed the importance of collaborative data ecosystems in advancing sustainable energy transitions, emphasising the role of high-quality, timely, and interoperable energy data in shaping effective policies. We extend our sincere gratitude to all our esteemed speakers, panelists, and participants for their valuable insights and contributions. Let’s continue working together to strengthen data-driven policymaking for a sustainable and energy-secure future. #UN56SC #EnergyTransition #SDG7 #DataDrivenPolicy #SustainableEnergy #DataEcosystems
