Last week, World in You hosted an insightful study group as part of our "Governance for Impact" series -"OpenAI and the Challenges of Governance" - a subject that proved to be as complex as it is crucial in today's rapidly evolving tech landscape. We dove deep into the OpenAI case study, examining its steward-ownership model - a hot topic given recent developments that may reshape this structure. Key points of discussion: - Balancing technological innovation with social responsibility - Fair compensation for data providers in AI development - Reconciling non-profit status with innovation imperatives - Protecting individual rights while harnessing the benefits of technology We based our dialogue on three thought-provoking articles: Strengthening Boards to Navigate the Intersection of Profit and Purpose https://lnkd.in/e2acUw_s OpenAI in the Context of Steward-Ownership — Blog Post 1 on the “OpenAI Saga” https://lnkd.in/ezmQ5j8F Bringing Steward-Ownership to Life While Playing on the Field of Capitalism — Blog Post 2 on the “OpenAI Saga” https://lnkd.in/e5Jj8amn The diversity of perspectives from our participants enriched the discussion, particularly around creating exploitation-free systems and establishing data sovereignty for individuals. As we continue our "Governance for Impact" series, we're reminded of the critical need for ongoing dialogue and practical action to shape a future where technological advancement and human dignity coexist harmoniously. #AI #CorporateGovernance #TechEthics #StewardOwnership #WorldInYou Haruo Mizutani Yuki Omori @sadayo Kobayashi Takahide Maruki Maco Yoshioka Yoshitaka Tabuchi @azumi nozaki Mio Yamamoto

【Event Announcement on 9/30】For CSR and sustainability professionals! What's the next step to expand employee volunteerism? – A session to learn from global corporate practices, co-hosted by ETIC (Entrepreneurial Training for Innovative Communities) and World in You. In our first session with ETIC's Mitsuhiko Yamazaki and Dirk Bischof from Hatch Enterprise UK, in June, we explored the trends in global companies leveraging employee volunteer programs not only for social contribution but also to enhance employee engagement, with case studies from the UK. Common challenges emerged, such as: "Why is participation always limited to a specific group?" and "How can we broaden the scope of participants?" (Pls also check insights from the reports by Dirk and Mitsuhiko: https://lnkd.in/e5std5-U) For this second session, we are excited to welcome guest speakers Katsuya Sato from American Express International Inc. and Aki Matsuyama from Kindryl Japan , who lead employee volunteer initiatives at global corporations. They will share insights on how their companies have adapted volunteer programs in the post-COVID hybrid workplace and the challenges they currently face. Don't miss this unique opportunity to hear about real-world, ongoing practices! This is a valuable chance to connect with purpose-driven corporate leaders. We hope to see you there!

Good reading on the role and culture of the board members - Asking questions (from curiosity and a healthy bit of skepticism, and especially uncomfortable questions) vs. command & control.
