Be the exception.

Emerging technology innovation invites every one of us to think about how and where we can plant the right seeds for the future, particularly for our collective, global community future.

The following foundations must be secure, to ensure AI & Emerging Technology innovation is fair, safe and sustainable:

For the many, not the few.  Honouring the needs and aspirations of all, promoting shared interests are promoted and hearing and respecting diverse views.

Community-spirited: Creating welcoming and cooperative communities for innovation’, that enable and encourage positive contribution-making.

Open engagement: All stakeholders have equal opportunity for engagement and contribution.

Accessible participation: Diverse scope for contribution, with different programmes or projects, systems, processes, experiences and events, that are freely accessible to all?

Community cohesion: Developing and harnessing Emerging Technology to unite, to seed a ‘social glue’, which gently binds together the fabric of a diverse, yet eco-socially integrated and harmonious global community, vs one of disintegration, exclusion and division.

How about the following kinds of programmes, networks, systems, experiences and events: 

Health, Leisure & Recreation: Emerging Tech innovation focused on the betterment of ecosystemic health and wellbeing, focused on mending, healing and preserving our community assets – both human and natural or wild. 

Cultural and Creative experiences: Expanding opportunities into Emerging Tech for talented human creatives of all ages and abilities, and linking with improving health and wellbeing outcomes for marginalised and excluded groups, and individuals. 

Learning and Development experiences: Building accessible opportunities to share and gain skills, knowledge and tools through skill- and asset- sharing and exchange models in Emerging Tech. This can include environmental crafts.

None of these ideas are new or revolutionary. They have all been tested and proven, globally. 

So why not in global Emerging Technology innovation?

What would it take?

Community Champions: People of all ages and walks of life with the courage, heart and passion for forming, developing and maintaining enduring community Emerging Tech networks.

Community Leaders & Activists: People of all ages and walks of life with the time and energy to make positive things happen in Emerging Tech innovation. No leadership experience necessary.

Community Mentors, Guides & Sponsors: People who can sponsor, fund, guide and support ground-level Emerging Tech community initiatives and projects, including businesspeople, elected political representatives, resource- and budget-holders and officials.

Also; Community Spaces: Spaces and settings where community members can gather freely to engage in the work of building alternative Global Emerging Tech community, and commons.
