Telstra becomes first Aussie company to join UN Council on AI
Telstra will join the UN Business Council’s advisory board on artificial intelligence, just a few years after joining the CLARA Consortium and facing backlash for their rapid 5G expansion.
TELSTRA JOINS UN COUNCIL
Telstra has became only the sixth organisation in the world, and first in Australia, to join the business council of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Julian Huxley was the first Director of UNESCO, as the modernisation of eugenics and population control was envisioned through ‘social harmonisation’, and Telstra has joined the group many decades later to carry on the vision which now includes the centralisation and deployment of artificial intelligence.
The operator explained in a statement it will work with UNESCO and ‘other members’ to support AI policy development in critical areas, such as “data governance and diversity”, with the aim “…to champion and advance the ethical development and application of AI”.
Telstra’s will work alongside other members of the UN Business Council to develop an “ethical impact assessment tool”, as well as joint initiatives to “…ensure AI serves the public good”, a statement notes.
The organisation continued by saying its membership is about translating this vision into “practical action and tangible outcomes”. They added AI is a “transformative technology with the potential to benefit societies”, but “…requires very careful and deliberate stewardship”.
Yes, I’m sure they are carefully working to ensure AI is used best for more world control.
Telstra said it has previously worked with the federal government to pilot and test AI ethics principles, and has co-authored what is known as the ‘Responsible AI Playbook’ with the GSMA.
Now, they will be the first Australian company to ‘represent our interests’ on the UN stage.
TELSTRA
This news shouldn’t come as a giant surprise for those who have been following Telstra’s moves of the past few years, revealing their true nature and alliance to the larger agendas going on.
In 2020, Telstra joined the controversial CLARA consortium in a bid to further develop ‘nation-building projects set to transform Australia’, such as high-speed rail across the country.
CLARA gained notoriety following the 2019/2020 bushfires that tore through Australia, as the vision for a massive infrastructure transformation was soon possible at the expense of tens of thousands of victims.
Telstra has also been at the frontline of Australia’s 5G rollout, which is now largely complete, being warned by the regulatory government body over their initial expansion in 2019.
Residents of communities across the country also clashed with Telstra over these rollouts, including in the Sutherland Shire and Byron regions, where residents protested by blocking installers of tower upgrades.
5G is the underpinning of the development of artificial intelligence, so it makes sense that Telstra would be front-and-centre in the race to advise AI on a worldwide level, given their vested interest.
AI is soon set to transform Australia, and Microsoft has invested over $5 billion in a partnership with the Australian government to ‘seize’ the capabilities of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Given that Microsoft and their partner CrowdStrike were responsible for Friday’s mass cyber outage across the world, this alliance here in Australia should raise red flags to where this is headed.
Microsoft, Telstra, CLARA, the UN.. what could possibly go wrong?!
I’m sure all these characters are acting in our very best interests.. aren’t they??
