In between meetings I’ve had a chance to attend a couple of workshops at AI for good in Geneva. It has been very informative and shows well a core strength of the UN, namely to convene actors from all sectors and then let them do their thing. Beyond that what has inspired me is the people who have innovative ideas and an ability to execute them.



One thought that has stayed with me: perhaps a key impact of these new technologies will be felt in the daily and even mundane, e.g. in how it will enable translation and through that understanding between languages. Imagine what that will do for smaller populations that still want to nurture an identity based on their own language.
