Such great energy with Ambassadors today at ITU HQ as we debriefed #ITUCouncil and planned for an exciting July.

With the Global Dialogue on AI Governance, #WSISForum, and #AIforGood, it’s going to be a month of action, collaboration, and innovation. See you all at Palexpo!

31 days to go! The #WSISForum is where the world comes together to align tech innovation with the priorities of all people and our planet.

Thank you to everyone who joined today’s final briefing for the Open Consultation Process with valuable contributions and expertise.

Parenting is a journey like no other. On this Global Day of Parents, I’m thinking about my own four children and how emerging tech is shaping their future.

Through @ITU's Child Online Protection, we work to ensure kids can explore the digital world safely.

[Doreen Bogdan-Martin @ITUSecGen]

This week was all about people and purpose. Conversations with young changemakers, staff, and @ITU partners sparked fresh ideas to turn ambition into people-centered digital impact.

The new Global AI Hub is building accountability into AI from the start.

@ITU is proud to support this mission through our work on standards, connectivity, capacity-building and global coordination, helping ensure the benefits of #AI reach all of humanity.

[Doreen Bogdan-Martin @ITUSecGen]

Pleased to join the launch of the Global AI Hub in Seoul alongside PM Kim Min-seok @PrimeMinisterKR and @UN partners.

At a time when unchecked AI divides risk becoming AI-driven inequalities, initiatives like this are essential to ensuring #AI serves everyone, everywhere.

[Doreen Bogdan-Martin @ITUSecGen]

Great to be in the Republic of Korea and meet Deputy PM and Minister of Science & ICT Bae Kyung-hoon @msitminister. We had a wide-ranging discussion on #AI, #cybersecurity & protecting children online, with a lot of shared priorities. Looking forward to advancing this partnership
