Youth and Artificial Intelligence: Designing our Possible Futures

Youth and Artificial Intelligence: Designing our Possible Futures

When applied responsibly, artificial intelligence (AI) and digital innovation have the potential to create important, long-lasting improvements to the lives of countless people around the world, particularly young people who stand to inherit these innovations. Participants joined this special session for stimulating intergenerational dialogue on the imaginary futures and how we can collaborate to build trust with each other amidst the digital transformation. Through the power of storytelling and a cross-sectoral discussion led by youth with thought leaders and decision-makers, this session revealed the “Youth AI Manifesto” key messages and takeaways developed by global youth and the next generation of leaders.
