Knowledge Networks Joins ECOSOCC Pre-G20 Dialogue to Advance Inclusive AI Governance ahead of Johannesburg

JOHANNESBURG , GAUTENG, SOUTH AFRICA, November 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- At a high-level ECOSOCC dialogue convened ahead of the G20 meetings in Johannesburg in two weeks (week of November 19, 2025), African civil-society leaders, policymakers, and global partners outlined a people-centered agenda for AI governance, economic dignity, and resilient development. The session elevated priorities including democratic AI governance and equity, climate and debt justice, fair financing, and value-chain participation — with a call for concrete mechanisms that ensure African representation and accountability at the G20.

Knowledge Networks (RegulatingAI and CAIO Connect) participated in the dialogue to help translate these priorities into action at the G20. “AI is not just another technology. It is an infrastructure of power — shaping how we work, learn, and govern,” said Sanjay Puri, President of Knowledge Networks. “True safety comes when AI systems are inclusive, transparent, and co-governed — and Africa must be at the table shaping that future.”

At Johannesburg, Knowledge Networks will support multi-stakeholder conversations that amplify African leadership in AI — from principles to practice — and will help surface actionable collaborations around capacity building, data equity, and responsible innovation that align with the priorities voiced at the pre-G20 forum. Post-event, KN will synthesize insights for public release to keep momentum beyond the Summit. For interview requests and partnership inquiries, please contact the Knowledge Networks team.
