This CSocD63 side event is sponsored by the Permanent Missions of Chile and Portugal to the United Nations in collaboration with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the Global Coalition on Aging (GCoA) and Tech Runway Africa. It aligns with the priority theme of the 63rd session of the Commission for Social Development, on strengthening solidarity, social inclusion, and social cohesion, and focuses on discussing the intersection of AI and social equity through an intergenerational lens.
Organized by the UN DESA Programmes on Youth and Ageing, it aims to foster dialogue among experts and advocates to examine how AI can be leveraged to address the potential risks of AI-driven inequality that affect both future youth and older persons, ensuring that technological advancements contribute to social cohesion and equitable development for all generations.
