During the 2nd UNESCO World Forum on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, various technology firms committed to developing more ethical artificial intelligence, in compliance with the precepts of the United Nations.

It was learned that at least “eight global technology companies, including the Lenovo Group and Microsoft, promised today, Monday, to develop more ethical artificial intelligence (AI) in accordance with the United Nations framework.”

“GSMA, INNIT, Lenovo Group, LG AI Research, Mastercard, Microsoft, Salesforce and Telefónica signed an agreement during the 2nd World Forum on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in the Slovenian city of Kranj”, according to the media.

Audrey Azoulay, director general of UNESCO, described the agreement as a concrete commitment by global technology companies. Furthermore, “he urged all technology firms to follow the example of these eight companies and encouraged an alliance between the public and private sectors in the development of AI for the common good.”

According to the document, technology companies must guarantee human rights in the processes of design, development, purchase, sale and use of AI.

On the other hand, they will be subject to safety standards, as well as mechanisms to identify the adverse effects of AI and those necessary for timely prevention according to national legislation.

It is important to remember that the “UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence” was the first in the world and remains the only regulatory framework on AI.

Lenovo has manufactured and shipped one million workstations and servers from its custom-built production facilities in Europe, just over a year after going live in Budapest, Hungary.

Lenovo’s Budapest plant opened in June 2022 to support customers across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and address infrastructure needs for high-end PC workstations, storage systems and servers.

As of June 2023, the factory has provided solutions to more than a thousand customers in 69 countries, while its scale and pace of operations have accelerated over the past year, as the company has indicated in a press release.

This factory has allowed the technology firm to distribute one million units, a figure that represents “a sample of the internal and external collaboration” that has taken place in the last year between employees and customers, as pointed out by the Lenovo Factory manager, Szabolcs Zolyomi.

“We have been able to respond to customer needs more effectively, with greater efficiency and control over product development and supply chain operations, all while continuing to uphold our commitment to sustainability and supporting the local community”, added the manager.

Lenovo explains that it built the Budapest manufacturing facility with sustainability in mind, and since its inauguration it has improved thermal insulation, completed the installation of lighting sensor systems, and optimized the use of waste heat from air compressors.

The Hungary factory is part of Lenovo’s global production network, distributed among 35 locations in eight regions to serve customers in 180 markets, including Argentina, Brazil, China, Hungary, India, Japan, Mexico, and the United States.

Since then, it has provided added capabilities to customers running some of the largest supercomputers in Europe, including the Barcelona Supercomputing Center in Spain, the Leibniz Supercomputing Center in Germany and SURF in the Netherlands.

Lenovo has reached a milestone in its effort to advance the circular economy and move toward its goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

From January 2019 to December 2021 Lenovo used more than 18,750 tons of recycled plastic in the manufacture of its ThinkVision monitors, which has led it to exceed the figure of 61.5 million monitors with recycled materials offered for sale in everyone.

At the beginning of 2023 it was the first manufacturer of PCs and smartphones, as well as one of the first 139 companies in the world, with a goal of net-zero emissions validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and continues to work towards that in its new product lines, such as the ThinkCentre neo family of monitors, have the lowest possible carbon footprint.

“As a global technology leader, Lenovo has been committed to reducing its emissions for more than a decade,” said Yuanqing Yang, Lenovo’s president, who pledged to continue advancing in this regard. To achieve this, Lenovo focuses on making the entire life cycle of its devices more sustainable, from manufacturing or packaging to distribution and recycling.

Along this path, it also has partners such as Microsoft, which has announced significant improvements at the sustainability level in Windows 11 Pro, with tools that help move towards new hybrid work models, reducing the impact on the carbon footprint. Hardware and software go hand in hand to make meetings more efficient, with tools such as Microsoft Teams, or carrying out changes in the default power settings for sleep mode and screen off, among other new features.

Lenovo’s most efficient monitors

The new line of monitors is an example of Lenovo’s efforts in this regard. A total of 21 of the company’s monitors have the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient certification, which highlights those products that represent the best innovations of the year in terms of energy savings and environmental protection.

These devices have, among other technologies, an integrated intelligent engine that dynamically detects the power consumption of compatible USB devices and intuitively allocates power between the different connections of the monitor based on the use made of them, achieving savings of up to 7 % energy thanks to this process.

They also incorporate two types of sensors: one for ambient light, which reduces the brightness of the screen depending on the light in the environment, and another for motion detection, which allows the screen to be turned on or off automatically depending on whether the user is present or not, achieving between them a saving of 64 % of energy consumption.

Microsoft has also made progress in its efforts to achieve more efficient PC performance. In this sense, when the devices are plugged in, turned on, connected to the Internet and regional carbon intensity data is available, Windows Update schedules installations at specific times of the day, moving excess energy consumption to the moment in which energy production proceeds from a higher proportion of renewable sources.

Less volatile organic compounds in the paint

Another aspect that Lenovo pays attention to is painting. The company’s efforts to use less volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ThinkVision monitors have saved 600 million cubic meters of clean air per year and reduced 120 kilograms of VOCs/year.

The paint can be harmful and polluting due to these gases, which contain chemical substances. A 27-inch monitor contains about 64 mg of VOCs if it is made of paint. Therefore, most ThinkVision monitors are now manufactured without added paint, effectively reducing the emission of these gases into the atmosphere.

“Sustainability is not necessarily a finish line, but rather a continuous process of improvement. Therefore, the company seeks to reduce the environmental impact of packaging and logistics through continuous optimization of design, choice of materials, processing and the life cycle,” they explain from the company. The design of removable and flexible packaging, for example, makes transport more efficient: “Less weight means less CO2 emissions in the transport process.”

Like Lenovo, Microsoft has taken this effort to save energy to all its products and services, incorporating other tools, such as the ‘Sustainability Calculator’, which allows its customers to know carbon emissions with complete transparency resulting from the storage and management of data in the cloud.

Google has officially introduced the version of Android for tablets, Android 12L, which will be available on devices from manufacturers such as Samsung, Microsoft and Lenovo with optimizations designed to take advantage of larger screens.

Android 12L is the version of the mobile operating system optimized for larger screens, such as tablets, in order to offer more information. In it, Google has introduced visible changes, such as the placement of notifications and quick configuration options, which no longer appear in the same column, one on top of the other, but in two.

The configuration of a new device also takes advantage of this breadth to display the options in two columns: one with the configuration and another where the changes made are reflected, as Google has shared on its official blog.

The taskbar has also been optimized to facilitate multitasking, with a split screen mode that allows you to load two applications at the same time or even modify the area that each of them will occupy.

This operating system will later come to compatible equipment from brands such as Samsung, Lenovo and Microsoft.
