Lingnan University co-hosts 2026 Summit on AI Ethics and Governance; Vice-President Prof Xin Yao advocates AI governance grounded in ESG and sustainable development
Lingnan University co-hosted a summit on AI ethics and governance where Vice-President Prof Xin Yao argued that AI governance should be grounded in ESG principles and sustainable development frameworks.
Why this matters: Framing AI governance through ESG is a specific choice. ESG puts responsibility on institutions and investors, not regulators or the public. That can work, but it also means accountability stays inside boardrooms and funding relationships. The real test is whether ESG-linked AI governance produces rules people can see and enforce, or just targets companies set for themselves.
