AI ethics Q2 2025 quarterly news roundup

We all know that Generative AI (GenAI) is creating increasingly sophisticated visual, audio and written content, with huge implications for how we work. The pace and breadth at which it has become accessible makes it incumbent on all organisations to implement, as standard practice, governance and safeguards for responsible adoption.

This led us to introduce our AI Ethics Charter for Internal Communication. A consistent focus on ethics allows organisations to communicate with integrity and decency, maintaining fairness and equity.

This quarter's curated compilation of AI news provides food for thought, as we continue to examine the ethical implications of AI integration at work.
