Rediscovering the Human at the Heart of Data: FIT Academy at WSIS High-Level Event 2025
Last week in Geneva,FIT Academy joined global thought leaders to champion a human-centric approach to data and AI.
Bringing “Data for Humans” to the Forefront
On Monday, July 7, 2025, FIT Academy had the privilege of speaking at the WSIS High-Level Event 2025—a flagship summit hosted by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) that shapes the future of digital development worldwide. Under the theme “Data for Humans,” our presentation,
“Are we forgetting something? Rediscovering the individual between data psychology and computational thinking,”
sparked vital discussions on maintaining the individual’s role in an era dominated by information flows, automation, and AI.
Why Human-Centered Data Strategy Matters
Emotional Intelligence Meets Analytics
Beyond dashboards and KPIs, true insight emerges when we understand how people feel and think. Emotional intelligence should inform data strategy to ensure technology serves real human needs.
Algorithmic Literacy for All
As AI reshapes industries, individuals must grasp how algorithms work—and how to question them. Fostering algorithmic literacy empowers stakeholders at every level to participate actively in digital transformation.
Culture & Education as Drivers of Innovation
Technology alone won’t solve societal challenges. Cultivating a culture that values critical thinking, ethical inquiry, and continuous learning keeps us ahead of unintended consequences.
“Innovation isn’t just about technology; it’s about culture, education, and the questions we ask.”
Key Takeaways from Our Geneva Session
Center the Individual: Data points become people when we consider context, emotion, and agency.
Design with Dignity: Policies and systems should prioritize privacy, transparency, and consent.
Question Everything: From the data we collect to the models we deploy—asking “Why?” and “For whom?” drives responsible outcomes.
These insights align directly with FIT Academy’s mission to blend data psychology and computational thinking, ensuring every analytics or AI project not only delivers value but also respects human dignity.
