Vector databases treat embeddings as independent data, divorced from the source data from which embeddings are created, rather than what they truly are: derived data. By treating embeddings as independent data, we’ve created unnecessary complexity for ourselves.

Productive stupidity means being ignorant by choice. Focusing on important questions puts us in the awkward position of being ignorant. One of the beautiful things about science is that it allows us to bumble along, getting it wrong time after time, and feel perfectly fine as long as we learn something each time. No doubt, this can be difficult for students who are accustomed to getting the answers right. No doubt, reasonable levels of confidence and emotional resilience help, but I think scientific education might do more to ease what is a very big transition: from learning what other people once discovered to making your own discoveries. The more comfortable we become with being stupid, the deeper we will wade into the unknown and the more likely we are to make big discoveries.
Why it could be useful to be stupid sometimes.

Imagine a text chunk including a sentence like “Donald Trump says that there should be a wall on the southern border of the US.” The meaning of this sentence could not be understood unless one knows the broader context—such as if Donald Trump was incumbent when he made such a statement. If he was, then the sentence probably conveyed the official stance of the US at that time; otherwise, it would be Mr. Trump’s personal stance. The Manager argued that an RM model—such as the one used by the lab at that time—only conducted semantic searches and could not capture context beyond the text chunk; it might mistake official country stances, retrieve the wrong paragraphs for the chatbot, and lead the user to believe in wrongful answers.
Why context matters?

The AI lab brought in a linguist, who broke down conversations into questions and answers; the linguist taught the AI lab various question types one could pose in a conversation and ways to detect which type they were (rhetorical, open, etc.). The next step was to understand the answers; the AI lab consulted a debater who framed responses in terms of arguments, which were then understood as key points with corresponding supporting facts. Taking in these lessons, the AI lab instructed the reporting system to take each speaker’s paragraphs from a transcript, extract key points and supporting evidence, and present a session summary in this format.

The course team prepares various courses that the Foundation delivers to diplomats or higher-education students. The reporting team takes care of the daily monitoring and updating of digital news and global policy trends on the Foundation’s website; it is also the team that used to provide live coverage of major international events, such as the UN General Assembly (UNGA) and Internet Governance Forum (IGF). The creative lab designs social media campaigns and visuals for all published material. The tech team manages the technical infrastructure, from websites to internal tools and applications, that allows the Foundation to function.

AI models are not merely machines that solve our problems; they are our imagination of the world and its problems; they are our respective worldviews, personalities, ambitions, and desires reformulated, reconfigured, and translated into codes.

In the Director’s envisioned knowledge management system, the technology product must not be a mere standalone tool but a part of a workflow that processes information
Process - not application.
-
The AI reporting system takes an audio-visual recording of a session, transcribes all speakers’ speeches via a transcription model (TM), and then generates summaries of various formats and knowledge graphs based on the transcripts via several summarization models (SMs) and a knowledge-graph generating model (KGGM).

Trade provides another example of the failure of multilateral negotiations (Action 5). The WTO (which has replaced UN Trade and Development, or UNCTAD, in this function) has rules that are being willfully ignored. The US has knee-capped the dispute mechanism by refusing to allow the appointment of judges; the world’s largest exporter, China, continues to claim developing-country status and hides information on its trade policies. Global trade negotiations began in 2001 in Doha and died in 2015. Determined multilateralists are calling for WTO reform but there is no sign that the changes will happen. There are echoes here of the ill-fated efforts to change the Security Council.
Why trade negotiations is failing?

But the COPs have been singularly ineffective for several reasons. One is the UN secretariat’s timidity. It has been far too indulgent to member states in allowing voluntary national targets to reduce carbon emissions. It has permitted petro-states to host COP meetings, like the United Arab Emirates last year and Azerbaijan this year, and it has failed to counter the advocacy by oil and gas interests. Progress is measured by slight adjustments of language in its outcome statements while downplaying actual outcomes in CO2 emissions.

reveal patterns
The optional reading for this week looks at some of these patterns: those we find in word-sized story-capsules and those found in larger narrative units, from logical fallacies to science fiction.
-
this emotional side
Emotions are indeed very important in building our opinions. We think of ourselves as rational but are often more driven by our gut-level attractions and aversions, drives and fears than we realise. I recommend Drew Westen's book 'The Political Brain' in which he explores what MRI scans reveal about our political 'reasoning.' His neurological research suggests that:
"None of the circuits involved in conscious reasoning were particularly engaged... Essentially, it appears as if partisans twirl the cognitive kaleidoscope until they get the conclusions they want... Everyone... may reason to emotionally biased judgments when they have a vested interest in how to interpret 'the facts"

In the absence of formalised venues and rules of procedure, how are the inclusion and exclusion of stakeholders decided and managed?
In International relations, the principle of "Customs" in international law, that is international obligations arising from established international practices versus obligations arising from formal written conventions and treaties, is a very pragmatic and practical practice. This therefore allows for the management of the included /excluded stake holder . For some it may seem as a trial and error, however in time this practice become formal rule of procedures.
-
In your opinion, what are the most important factors that led to the emergence of tech diplomacy?
The rise and power of tech companies over the past two decades have led Governments /Sates to step back to review the their overall effect on social, political and economic aspects of the world systems. Initially Governments allowed a lassie faire & innovative approach to tech companies development. However it can be agreed that this is inimical to wholistic development. Consequently due to the need to 'manage' this explosive growth, States particularly the EU & USA began to have a more targeted engagement with Tech companies.
-
How can tech companies contribute to solving policy challenges or challenges that the diplomatic practice faces?
This can be done by using technology to formulate products/programes that will be understood by diplomats. For example, breaking down problems into creative and implementable For example AI animation and text could be used to show the negative aspects of global warming and climate change.
-
In your opinion, what are some of the main reasons for companies to engage in tech diplomacy?
To create a win win scenario. The world system ironically has moved away from a very free market mode of operations to one of more regulations. As Tech companies thrive on innovations, there may be instances where regulations for example matters relating to the environment will affect their operation as seen with 3M and the release high rates of toxic in the environment to make their products.
-
What determines a tech company’s area of interest in tech diplomacy interactions?
This depends on the overall objective and the ethos of the company . For some tech companies they would like to inform the diplomats about their core functions. For others, they would like to influence the public space on matter they are working on for example AI .
-
Do tech companies have a global responsibility to address common challenges, such as climate change?
Ironically yes, why ? Because everything on earth is finite and if not managed in a sustainable way, will not be available for use in years to come/ Also owner of Tech are also reside on EARTH and if matters such as climate change, human right violations can and will affect them
-
Question : what are the main hubs beyond Silicon Valley where tech diplomacy should be practiced ?
This is a tough question, as Tech companies will establish themselves in areas where language, capital resources are in their favour. Nevertheless, because of the increase in population and improving growth in other jurisdictions it would be prudent to establish Tec hubs in countries in South America, Brazil and Africa – South Africa, Namibia and to expand in India.
-
What questions are important to ask to evaluate tech diplomacy practices What are the respective targets of the negotiations - Investment, cyber security, increase it trade , innovation ect ? At the end of the day who are the beneficiaries? is it the state or the tech companies or both? Are the outcomes long term or short term? Are the programs inclusive, : , global south, builds capacity, supports the environment

Question : Do you agree that tech diplomacy is a new phenomenon ?
The conflation between technology and diplomacy is not new but aan immerging phenomenon.
This relationship in its organic nascent form preceded the 2017 formalized merger between diplomatic representatives and tech companies. As highlighted by Garcia 2022, as technology advances so does the character of diplomacy. Therefore, Diplomats over the decades have used technology in its various forms to inform other entities of their respective perspectives
-
Question : what is the relationship between tec =h companies and diplomats
Diplomacy is traditionally an instrument used by sovereign states to develop and sustain peaceful and predictable relations among themselves. Oğurlu, E. (2019) Similarly Lee, D., & Hocking, B. (2015) defines diplomacy as the conduct of human affairs by peaceful means, employing techniques of persuasion and negotiation.
Within this mantra is a perception that all states are equal, particularly as defined by the United Nations Charter which states in Article 18 no 1 that : “Each member of the General Assembly shall have one vote”.
It should be noted that the ethos of tec companies are built on competition, efficiencies, profit, science and technology, innovation, research and development, whilst the Diplomat’s is to ensure consent acquired through amicable discussions with other State’s representatives.
The relationship between tech companies and diplomats will vary according to the global strength of the state. For example, United States of America and the European Union have a very close relationship with tec companies. In some instances, they are able to discuss and establish amicable agreements on tech policies as it relates to the State, as seen with recent EU agreements with Google & Apple. At times this relationship can be unfavorable as seen by the current relationship between USA and Tic Tok.

Question what are the key points from the two videos
The key points relate to acknowledging that the global south was not included in the conversation and secondly the the urgent need for inclusion for countries of the Global south.
Although a lot was said about Africa, it is also necessary to ensure that concerns of other countries of the South particularly the Small Islands Developing States are included. Why ? As SIDS have differing challenges e.g. effects of climate change, limited resources, etc. Therefore, if the global south is neglected, any governance structure that will be developed may not meet their needs as they were missing from the conversation. Despite the challenges, there are options available to include the global south. Leveraging brain gain and the use qualified diaspora members as active participants in the Tec diplomacy conversation.
It is to be noted that the role of innovative leadership to lead the charge.

Senior executives frequently are too far removed from day-to-day operations to understand what truly needs to change. Consequently, top-down solutions tend to be superficial or at least short-lived. Frontline managers, meanwhile, often lack the contextual understanding to challenge existing processes, and so trim around the edges rather than propose major changes. But midlevel executives tend to have enough experience to see the shortcomings in current operations—and aren’t so close to the ground that they get lost in the weeds.

The rapid growth of AI technology, however, comes with the significant risk that its use may exacerbate inequality and economic instability, stifle competition, cause consumer harm, aggravate discrimination and bias, invade privacy, enhance malicious cyber activity, and improve authoritarian capabilities for surveillance and repression. AI will challenge how we compensate for the uses of intellectual property as well as authenticate, label, or detect synthetic content. AI may also require workforce adaptations across economies; the rising energy demands of high-end AI chips and data centers could become a significant barrier to developing local capabilities.

Digital solidarity is a willingness to work together on shared goals, to help partners build capacity, and to provide mutual support.[1] Digital solidarity recognizes that all who use digital technologies in a rights-respecting manner are more secure, resilient, self-determining, and prosperous when we work together to shape the international environment and innovate at the technological edge. Central to the tenets of digital solidarity are efforts to support allies and partners, especially emerging economies, to fully seize the opportunities presented by new technologies and sustainably pursue their economic and development goals. Digital solidarity aligns U.S. national interests with those of our international partners through compatible approaches to technology governance, sustains strong partnerships with civil society and the private sector, and embraces cybersecurity resilience built on a diversity of products and services made by trusted technology vendors. It highlights the mutual support that the United States and its partners offer one another to counter and respond to malicious cyber operations, cybercrime, and other digital harms, and promotes cooperative efforts among states and civic actors to defend and advance human rights. In addition, the concept of digital solidarity rests on efforts to build digital and cyber capacity so that partners are not only better able to build a defensible and resilient digital ecosystem over the long term but are also able to respond and recover quickly when incidents that threaten security, safety, and rights happen. The actions and efforts of this strategy are intended to demonstrate and build digital solidarity with partners across the globe.

flow of information and energy are critical for global economy. In this field there are battles between China and USA. this battle will affect global economy for 1.2% of globagl GDP.
China leads in EVs and green eocnomy, while it is weak in chipmaking. US export control seems to slow.
Next battle will be in quantum and sensing technologies.
A Summary: The ongoing tech wars between the United States and China, which began during the Trump administration and continue under Joe Biden, are having significant global implications. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates that the elimination of high-tech trade between the two countries could cost as much as $1 trillion annually, equivalent to 1.2% of global GDP. The battles are primarily taking place in the chipmaking and green technology sectors.
The US is actively encouraging the expansion of chip production within its borders, providing subsidies to companies like Taiwan's TSMC and South Korea's Samsung. It also maintains high tariffs on Chinese solar panels and electric vehicles (EVs). China, on the other hand, has become a global leader in green technology with companies like Longi, CATL, and BYD, but it faces obstacles in the chipmaking industry due to US restrictions on chipmaking technology imports.
While the focus has recently been on app-related disputes, such as pressuring Chinese owners to sell platforms and removing certain apps from app stores, the real battle lies in the control of chipmaking and energy technologies. The risks and consequences of this tech war are significant, including a potential loss of focus on critical areas, strained relationships with Japan and Europe, slower economic growth, and the potential fragmentation of global information and energy-technology industries.
The Biden administration has followed a relatively predictable approach to China and technology, but a more aggressive campaign by the Trump administration could lead to worse outcomes for all parties involved. It is crucial to monitor the shifting dynamics of the tech wars, the impact on chipmaking and green technology sectors, and the potential consequences on the global economic landscape.

The Senate requested Tik-Tok to be sold by ByteDance. China's government, who is shareholder by ByteDance, refused to seel shares.
TikTok will challenge the Senate's decisions in the court on the basis of the First Amendment and freedon of spreech.
The result of this challenge will have two major impacts: - content governance of other social media platforms; - follow-up by other countries who are likely to follow US example as, for example, Europe did in the case of Huawei and chip-export.

This paper presents Climinator, a novel AI-based tool designed to automate the fact-checking of climate change claims. Utilizing an array of Large Language Models (LLMs) informed by authoritative sources like the IPCC reports and peer-reviewed scientific literature, Climinator employs an innovative Mediator-Advocate framework.
||JovanK|| ||JovanNj||
This is an AI model that ChatClimate.ai and WMO have collaborated on building. The Climinator uses a 'mediator-advocate' framework that is quite innovative. I have doubts about the efficacy of this framework, but I thought it could be something of inspiration to the AI lab if we ever want to build an array of models capable of debating with each other and coming to a conclusion.
Might be an interesting framework for us to try out, for example, in the following scenario: Our moderator is a diplomatic-text-finetuned LLM; our advocate 1 is an LLM based on GDC-related documents (via RAG) and our advocate 2 is an LLM fed with real-life expert interactions during our events (via RAG or finetuning). Then, we can give an overall prompt to the moderator to ask advocate 1 and 2 to find consensus on a GDC draft.||sorina||
