With information and communication technology (ICT) playing such a vital role in the modern world, the United Nations system continually assesses how it uses ICT to best advantage in contributing to its own institutional efficiencies and helping to meet its external objectives. It does this through the ICT Network of its Chief Executives Board, which is meeting this week (21-23 October) at UNHQ in New York, followed immediately by the 96th session of the UN International Computing Centre’s Management Committee. A focused discussion on the global digital agenda of the UN system and the ability to predict the effect of an action through so-called machine learning will be among the topics considered. IMO’s Vincent Job is representing the Organization at both meetings.
