Why they matter
- UN Open Source Week 2026 was June 22 to 26 in New York. ODET and OICT co-organize it. June 23 was “Open Source for AI and Emerging Technologies (Open Source x AI)” (UN Open Source Week homepage). UC Santa Cruz’s Emily Lovell spoke on a university OSPO panel (UN Open Source Week 2026 agenda).
- The head of ODET says the Global Digital Compact recognizes “open AI models, as well as open access to training data, and compute resources” (UN Open Source Week 2025 Conference Report, p. 16).
