Global Ethics Day is coming up next week on October 16, but there is still time to get involved. As the initiative enters its 11th year, the world is grappling with unprecedented challenges. From ongoing wars in multiple regions to an accelerating climate crisis to the rapid development of emerging tech, empowering ethics has become more important than ever. Join us on #GlobalEthicsDay, so that together we can raise awareness and work toward addressing the most critical issues facing society.

Responsible Military Use of AI: Bridging the Gap Between Principles and Practice
With AI now being integrated into the full spectrum of military operations, Carnegie Council and the Oxford Institute for Ethics, War and Armed Conflict convened a panel to discuss this emerging issue at the Responsible AI in the Military Domain (REAIM) Summit in Seoul.
Politico Op-ed: Walking a Fraying Nuclear Tightrope
We now find ourselves in a world without a single treaty limiting the use of strategic nuclear weapons. In this op-ed, Carnegie Council President Joel Rosenthal argues that a recommitment to nuclear arms control is nothing short of a moral imperative.
Now that the 79th UN General Assembly has concluded, the focus must turn to implementation of agreements on the responsible use of AI. In an event last month at Carnegie Council, UN Under-Secretary-General Tshilidzi Marwala said: “It is imperative that we prioritize development of robust, globally accepted methods to measure AI risks, ensuring that we understand the full scope of AI’s impact from economic disruptions to ethical concerns."
