[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

I was encouraged this week to see the leaders of the frontier labs agree on the need for them to slow down the pace of AI development. Given the stakes, it’s a good and necessary first step.

But I’m even more encouraged by the growing recognition that how this powerful new technology develops should be at the center of our public debate.

I’ve been watching the progress on AI for over a decade now, and one thing that’s clear to me is that the potential impact of this technology is not overhyped. It’s also moving at lightning speed – and even faster than those who are engineering it can keep up with.

I’m not an AI accelerationist who believes it will lead to some techno-utopia, and I’m not a doomer who thinks it will inevitably lead to humanity’s destruction.

But whether this technology results in amazing breakthroughs in medicine, energy and education or unleashes huge economic disruptions, greater inequality, and potential catastrophe will depend on the choices that we make right now – choices that should be made not just by the companies involved, but by all of us.

We had a productive engagement with @CEJADKenya at our offices in Kisumu.
A key area of discussion was strengthening collaboration around chemicals & waste governance, including opportunities for GIST Kenya to engage with the IPEN (International Pollutants Elimination Network)

Today marks 8 years since the passing of former UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan.

“More than ever before in human history, we share a common destiny. We can master it only if we face it together. And that is why we have the United Nations.”

8 years on, his legacy continues.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

Delighted to mark International #YouthDay with members of the @WHOYouthCouncil in a dynamic discussion on solutions to advance global health.

The creativity, passion, and commitment shown by these young leaders was truly inspiring. I encouraged them to keep broadening their skills, lead with patience and composure, and continue challenging assumptions by asking “why” as they work to improve health and wellbeing around the world.

[Green interventions for sustainable towns @GreenFor35894]

As GIST Kenya, we’re excited to continue co-designing with @WHOYouthCouncil and young people to turn youth-led ideas into meaningful action for Planetary Health.
