I'm watching the live stream from #OneSharedWorld #RiseOrFallTogether, "The OneShared World Interdependence Summit 2020". Lots of speakers, artists, and activists are lined up
"The world today faces a wake-up call. The question is: will we wake up?" Opening provocation at #OneSharedWorld by @JamieMetzl
"Because the core problem we face is systemic, our response needs to be systemic too. To safeguard our future, we need to build a new global operating system" - @JamieMetzl at #OneSharedWorld Image
Just starting: #OneSharedWorld "Preventing Future Pandemics" panel with David Nabarro, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Naveen Rao, and Michelle Williams Image
We have to reckon with three convulsions: biological convulsion, economic convulsion, and societal convulsion. The Covid pandemic teaches us that strategic investment is needed to improve the resilience and adaptability of all three systems - @HarvardChanDean at #OneSharedWorld Image
In response to the pandemic, we have to put science back in the driving seat - collecting, disseminating, and communicating key findings - Michelle Williams (@HarvardChanDean) at #OneSharedWorld Image
Next up at #OneSharedWorld: a panel on "Climate Correction" with Catherine Constantinides, Jess Fanzo, Eric Garcetti, and Enric Sala Image
"We have to embrace our global interdependence, and realise that we rise - or fall - together" - Los Angeles Mayor @ericgarcetti at #OneSharedWorld Image
We're suffering a triple whammy - growing global warming, losing parts of nature faster than ever, and the Covid-19 infection. The three issues are strongly connected - @Enric_Sala, author of "The Nature of Nature", at #OneSharedWorld Image
Food systems are intimately connected with both climate change and biological pandemics. What's more, bad diet is the number 1 cause of bad health and mortality worldwide - @jessfanzo at #OneSharedWorld urges greater care and attention to food systems Image
The next session at #OneSharedWorld could be the highlight of the whole event: "Beyond Westphalia and San Francisco: Building a New Pillar of Global Power Representing Our Common Aspirations as Humans" Image
"Some problems can only be solved if we think of 'power *with* others'" - at #OneSharedWorld @Joe_Nye advocates a different way of thinking about national interest, to recognise the global interdependence Image
"Good intentions without adequate means can lead to ethically bad consequences" - @Joe_Nye argues that many of our moral statements about US presidents and foreign policy are poorly thought through #OneSharedWorld goodreads.com/book/show/4424…
"A pressing paradox: There has never been a greater need to consider global interdependence, but the political leadership of many important countries takes a dismissive attitude towards collaboration" - Professor @rfalk13 at #OneSharedWorld Image
Building a network of networks to improve civil society: What can we learn from the experiences of some of the world's most successful networks? With leaders from Avaaz, Rotary International, Fox Office Exchange, and InterAction #OneSharedWorld Image
"What's important is no longer who you know; it's what you say" - key advice from @Ricken_Patel. And the network shouldn't try to top-down control everything that's said, but should allow ideas to emerge bottom-up - practical advice at #OneSharedWorld Image

"Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19" by Alina Chan and Matt Ridley was a book that changed my mind. It marshals lots of evidence that significantly raises the probability that the global pandemic resulted from a laboratory incident (1/6) goodreads.com/book/show/5864…
The book highlights many heroic, admirable actions, of Internet sleuths and self-taught researchers around the world, who uncovered evidence which cast new light on the background to the outbreak of the pandemic (2/6)
But it also highlights many examples of actions that were much less admirable: people in both media and academia, as well as in the medical establishment, who sought to turn attention away from facts that were uncomfortable or inconvenient (3/6)

Whilst waiting for the #CogX2021 sessions to start streaming, why not quickly check out the open preview of my forthcoming new book, which places the future of AI as central to the future of humanity. "Vital Foresight" dw2blog.com/2021/05/26/a-p…
CEO of @RollsRoyce, Warren East, looks forward to the company "smashing" the air speed record for an electrically powered craft. As part of exploring possibilities for greener air travel #CogX2021
... though it looks like this record-breaking @RollsRoyce effort has been delayed from the schedule originally announced (back in December 2019). Given the uncertainties involved in such innovative engineering, that's not too unexpected #CogX2021 rolls-royce.com/media/press-re…

Live now: "AI, Data & Ethics with Prof. Joanna Bryson" @j2bryson "Joanna will join us at this edition of the London Ethics Meetup to share her insights on AI, Data & Ethics in 2020" meetup.com/Tech-Ethics-Lo…
Good definitions from @j2bryson at the start of her talk on "AI, Data & Ethics" Image
People who say they are "against regulation" benefit from huge amounts of regulation inside their own bodies, that is biological regulation, points out @j2bryson Image

The #CogXtra panel "What's Needed Now" has just started streaming: "In considering how we rebuild, ideas once-considered radical have been up for discussion. But how radical do we need to go? Can we rebuild along the same lines as before?" cogx.co/event/what-is-… Image
"As the storms of the global pandemic continue to buffet businesses and individuals, we are all in need of a double dose of resilience. If only there were a precise recipe for it, we would all be racing towards a brighter future." This can be viewed on
The pandemic has exposed the extent of the digital divide. The number one infrastructure priority for the country is to fix this divide - former UK Chancellor George Osborne at #CogXtra Image
