As technology advances and changes the lives of more people around the world, it’s also raising important questions: Are new developments based in human rights? Who owns the data? And are all voices being represented fairly? Together, we must ensure that we’re exploring the best uses for AI and digital, putting safeguards in place, and ensuring innovations are driven by equity above all else. Digital solutions must be safe and reliable, decision-making transparent, and algorithms and human interfaces fair to all.

When applied responsibly, AI and digital innovation have the potential to create important, long-lasting improvements to the lives of countless people around the world. New technology and the power of data could provide new routes to tackle persistent health, social, and economic challenges at a level of scale and accessibility we’ve never been able to achieve before. By working together to use those tools intelligently, we have a unique opportunity to put in place safe and equitable systems that can support young people for decades to come.
