AI Governance
AI Sustainability for innovation & growth
AI Governance is not meant to limit AI innovation but rather to enhance short and long-term impacts ensuring human rights, inclusion, environmental protection, and nurturing human growth. As a result, AI governance is crucial for business innovation and growth.


AI Governance
AI guidelines and standards
Work done by interdisciplinary expert task groups at UN International Telecommunication Union (ITU) chaired by Dr. Daniela Tulone, laid the foundation for the design of sustainable AI and Metaverse systems.
This proactive approach enhances system impacts while increasing system robustness and minimizing AI risks, thereby avoiding additional costs, resource burdens, and negative consequences down the line.
Additionally, ecoSurge provided policy contributions to EU AI Act, UN AI Board, ITU SG5 “Environmental, Climate Change and Circular Economy”, EU Roadmap on Citiverse, Adra expert group on AI, Data and Robotics.
