Meeting Input:
Regional experiences on the governance of emerging technologies
New and emerging technologies hold immense promise for driving innovation, economic growth, and societal advancement on a global scale. However, the benefits they offer are not uniformly distributed, with developing countries often facing barriers to accessing and effectively utilizing these technologies compared to their developed counterparts.
Multilingual inclusion and universal acceptance for all communities
In today's interconnected world, where digital platforms serve as vital channels for communication, trade, and collaboration, the significance of multilingualism and universal acceptance cannot be overstated. Linguistic diversity reflects the richness of human expression and cultural heritage, making it imperative to ensure that digital spaces are inclusive and accessible to speakers of all languages. Embracing and ensuring multilingualism is critically important to unlock opportunities for cross-cultural understanding and collaboration on a global scale.
Tackling disinformation in electoral context
2024 is the election year. A record number of voters is expected to participate in elections across at least 64 countries which hold around 49% of the world’s population. The practice has demonstrated that false narratives can manipulate public opinion, skewing electoral outcomes and undermining trust in institutions. Inaccurate information spreads rapidly through social media, exacerbating polarization and fracturing societies. Effective countermeasures are crucial to ensure informed decision-making by voters.
