IITTI World Civility Index has been invited by MIT Presencing Institute's Regenerative Futures Lab to talk about indigenous youths working with non-indigenous youths to face a common challenge in climate and land management.
Here Patrick Chun, co-founder of IITTI, answering Eva Pomeroy,
Research Lead at Presencing Institute, and talks about what question to ask for a regenerative future.
The aim is to create meaningful careers for the 21st century. It is based on providing an "integrity layer" for the carbon-capture industry.
One more step to the "Humanity Hub Richmond" concept. (IITTI established a Humanity Hub in Hong Kong-Macau region in 2025, and now a second Hub is contemplated for the Vancouver/Richmond region of Canada.)

AI ethics discussion at McGill University, Montreal, Canada, with Prof Matissa Hollister, IITTI co-founder Patrick Chun and Prof Hollister's fourth-year undergrad business students in BUSA471 - Artificial Intelligence Ethics for Business. Here is the strategy:
1.) Policy: Use AI for augmentation for human decisions.
2.) Implementation: Build AI with cultural sensitivity "baked in".
3.) Reporting: IITTI World Civility Index should have a distinct section reporting AI-related activities (role-playing, etc.) vs. other effort-based activities (reading, seminars, etc.).

Our IITTI co-founder, Patrick Chun, will be speaking at the International Centre for Protocol and Diplomacy (Global Institution) on future-proofing of soft skills professionals.
The essence is to have a hybrid delivery model where digital deliveries can be assisted by AI, while face-to-face deliveries will focus on human-centric qualities such as shared, human experiences that no AI, no matter how smart, can come close.
Thank you ICPD for the opportunity!

Like in the popular TV show "Black Mirror", is the World Civility Index an unfair, dystopian social credit system, or a leveling equal playing field?
The World Civility Index is an optional incentive program to encourage empathy and good manners. Everybody starts at zero regardless of class, race, or religion. It doesn't care if you are ๐๐น๐ผ๐ป ๐ ๐๐๐ธ or the ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ป๐ด๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ! If you don't put in the effort to read the articles, watch the videos, or attend webinars, you get zero points.
Any inventions or tools can be used for good or evil. The issue is not with the tool itself but with the policy-makers using a tool with self-serving agenda. And with the intrinsic design of the World Civility Index having everyone starts at zero, it replaces inherited privilege with earned merit.
The World Civility Index removes systemic bias and places the power of progress back in the hands of the individual, ๐ฐ๐ผ๐น๐ผ๐ฟ-๐ฏ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ to any existing social standing. It is a corrective tool rather than a surveillance tool.

The 13th year will be on real skills, giving young people meaning and purpose. For governments, this will also "cut" unemployment for youth, as young people will be occupied for 13 years instead of 12.

What gets measured gets improved.
Dr. Dianne Tsen, Licensed IITTI Instructor, once again led soft skills training for the Malaysian Government. This time for a large group of PR officers for the State Public Communication Unit (UKAS) in Kuching, Malaysia.
Every participant earns one (1) World Civility Index point as proof.
The World Civility Index not only can be used for internal ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป as a concrete KPI, but also for recruitment purposes -- an "๐ฒ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ'๐ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด" that signals to job-applicants that the organization is serious about human capital development, not just lip service.
Thank you Dr. Tsen for your on-going leadership!
