... we had so many lovely partners and participants (looking at you @hpe). And we are so fortunate to have @Letemps link our @Opengeneva page. Because you know what? This was less of a hackathon than a commencement...

Wondering how cool this @opengeneva #hackathon is? Nicolas Capt is speaking on law, ethics, and AI, with live interpretation by UN colleague Sofia Lobanova Zick for our non-french participants.
