Coffee Colloquy: SDG6 – Clean Water & Sanitation

Clean Water and Sanitation
Ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
The Worshipful Company of Water Conservators in conjunction with the Worshipful Company of Plumbers led this fantastic discussion at Mansion House attended by some 150 people. Carrie Park provides a thorough report, “Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation for All“.

Pollinating Common Council Together

Achieving carbon neutrality should go alongside steps to promote green spaces in the City as places for human well being as well as biodiversity. I hope you all saw the Pollinating London Together exhibition in the Ambulatory on your way in to the Guildhall or Common Council. If not, do take a look on your way home as enhancing biodiversity is also a policy area within our 5 year strategy. I am delighted to be a patron!

How Would I Know If I Were A Robot@Christmas?

One small, seasonal task was spending 12 hours undertaking the CISI’s Certificate In Ethical Artificial Intelligence, below:

This is all part of the 695th Lord Mayor’s Ethical AI Initiative. This course applies to people working in finance (of all sorts) and technology. You can find and take the course here, http://www.cisi.org/ai:

Members (£60)
The course for members comprises four mandatory modules with online tests (8 hours total) and an additional 4 hours of flexible CPD in AI learning via the CISI Learning Platform.

  • Ethical AI and Professional Codes of Conduct
  • Risk Management in AI
  • Strategic Approaches to AI
  • Tactical Development of AI (Executive Management)
  • Additional four hours of CPD in AI learning via the CISI Learning Platform

Non-members (£150)
The non-member course comprises five mandatory modules with online tests (10 hours) and a further module of curated AI learning (2 hours) for a total of 12 hours of learning.

  • AI – An introduction
  • Ethical AI and Professional Codes of Conduct
  • Risk Management in AI
  • Strategic Approaches to AI
  • Tactical Development of AI (Executive Management)
  • Further module containing curated AI learning (videos/articles)

We anticipate rolling out similar courses in several other sectors over 2024. Perhaps completing the course over the seasonal break is a sign of a robotic approach to holidays (Batteries Not Included) or, better, a resolved start to a Connect To Prosper New Year!
