News, guidance and practical perspectives on responsible AI in the charity sector.
The Weekly Scan, by Curia AI This week, AI moved closer to the centre of government, economic strategy and public-service reform, while a serious security incident demonstrated what can happen when technical capability develops faster than the controls surrounding it. Across policy, accessibility, humanitarian action and sector research, the same question keeps returning, can organisations […]
Last week’s evidence showed a sector adopting AI faster than its confidence and governance were developing. This week, the picture moves on again.

Three days later, it announced that both models were being disabled after receiving a US government export control directive issued on national security grounds, requiring suspension of access by foreign […]
Curia AI | AI Governance Advisory | Insights & Perspectives One of the things that concerns me most about the current AI debate isn’t the technology.
