Dear


As we navigate the complexities of this new year, we remain focused on ensuring that the rapid evolution of technology is grounded in responsible governance and ethical leadership.


We begin 2026 by reflecting on the profound insights shared during Davos, where the conversation shifted from technical infrastructure to the core of our mission: leadership as behaviour. As R. Kat Morse, our Acting Head of Solutions Hub, observed, AI is not merely a technical problem but a human one. The bottleneck for progress is no longer just platform capability, but rather our mindset, culture, and willingness to change.


At Globethics, we believe that "human-in-the-loop" is not just a slogan; it is an ethical requirement. This year, we invite you to join us in moving beyond "doing AI" to becoming truly AI-capable, fostering a culture where authenticity and trust are the foundations of governance.

Meet us at the India AI Impact Summit 2026

We are honoured to take part in the India AI Impact Summit 2026, held from 16–20 February in New Delhi as part of the official programme convened by the Government of India. 

Globethics has been invited to contribute in key moments during the week, reinforcing our role as a trusted voice on responsible and safe AI.


On 16 February, we will host a roundtable titled Trust as a Global Imperative: How to Operationalise Safe AI for All. The session will convene experts in ethics, governance and peace research to explore practical pathways for trustworthy AI, especially in the Global Majority.


To attend the Summit, please complete your registration on the official India AI portal.

Additionally, Globethics will be engaged in panels on 17 February and a workshop on 20 February—and will also be present at AI Safety Connect Day. Across these engagements, we are collaborating with key partners, including the Digital Empowerment Foundation (DEF), AI Safety Connect, UNESCO (including the Women for Ethical AI South Asia Chapter), and peers in the Global CSO Network on AI Ethics and Policy, of which Globethics is a member. We look forward to connecting with you in Delhi!

From culture and power shifts to ethical decision-making, our Davos Day Two reflections explore why AI success depends on humans, not machines.

Dr. Ratna Selvaratnam and Dr. Steve Leichtweis, ACODE, January 2026.

How do these themes show up in higher education? Experts dive into concrete examples of Australasian universities building the capacity needed for responsible innovation.

Across 40 institutions, AI maturity in Australasian tertiary education is rising—moving from experimentation to operations. Yet governance gaps, resourcing constraints, and the need to embed wellbeing, equity, and accessibility remain urgent priorities. ACODE’s 2025 whitepaper calls for action.

Pathways to Inclusion: Advancing Civil Society’s Role in AI Governance

This publication explores how AI is governed and who gets a say in shaping its future. Paola Gálvez Callirgos highlights the underrepresentation of civil society from the Global Majority in global decision-making spaces and argues that their perspectives are essential to counterbalance concentrated power. Drawing on regional insights and comparative research, the publication identifies barriers to participation and opportunities for engagement, and proposes policy recommendations to a set of stakeholders to ensure AI governance is inclusive, reflects diverse values, and serves the public interest.
