he race for AI has become the new black, the dominant obsession of our time, the trend no institution, company, or government wants to appear to miss. It is framed as progress, justified in the name of competitiveness, and presented as inevitable.

In the spring of 2025, one of the world’s most widely used AI systems had to be pulled back because it had become too eager to please. OpenAI rolled back a GPT-4o update after it made the model “overly flattering or agreeable”—"sycophantic", in the company’s own word.

The world is currently witnessing a growing accumulation of AI integrity lapses at scale. What comes next depends entirely on how seriously we choose to respond.So-called intelligence alone is no longer the benchmark. Integrity is.

We need technology, because it offers solutions capable of reducing suffering, mitigating intolerable risks, and improving lives.But no technology should ever be paid for at the price of a cognitive debt that would cost us the sovereignty of thought, and, with it, sever our connection to who we are. Evaluating the artificial integrity of digital technologies, and even more so when they include AI, is a responsibility inherent to any so-called digital transformation. This ev

The deployment of Generative AI (GenAI) is often highlighted in current discussions as a means to achieve significant productivity gains in business. This is nothing new. Any tool adopted by a company has the primary mission of supporting its performance.

In countries where a robust identity system is not in place, people often possess potential assets but lack the formal recognition needed to leverage them effectively.

Technology is providing innovative tools and methods for creation, while simultaneously transforming how audiences interact with and appreciate art. Digital art forms, virtual reality, 3D printing, and the use of artificial intelligence are redefining traditional creative boundaries, fostering an era of unprecedented artistic expression and ingenuity.

We spend our time clicking for much of our lives. Each of these clicks, while seemingly benign, collectively feeds into a vast digital ecosystem in which our preferences and behaviors are not only recorded, but analyzed and used to influence our decisions at an unprecedented scale.

Digital for Good is about acknowledging the paradoxes posed by technology to address both its benefit and its unsustainable nature for the w
