A1 and Technology may have transformed the world but it is not a panacea for Society’s ills nor will it replace human creativity, judgement or common sense. It augments human capacity, does not replace it. The inclusive nature and market of AI and Technology means a quality education can be rolled out to the 4 corners of the earth through generative AI. I stressed GWI’s written statement to the 2024 HRC – Integrate AI digital skills into education programmes to prepare students for future challenges and promote responsible innovation. Promote cross- sector partnerships to enhance educational access and quality particularly in emergency and post- conflict situations ensuring that digital education and AI resources are included for equitable development. Recommit to equipping women and girls with the knowledge to navigate future job markets and understand the ethical imperatives of AI promoting responsibility, innovation and creating a culture of Peace in an increasingly digital World.
