Who gets to shape AI governance? Not tech companies alone. Governments, researchers, civil society, youth, and local communities all have a role. At the UNESCO Global Forum on AI Ethics in Riyadh, the focus is clear: turn shared principles into action and make AI governance inclusive, accountable, and people-centered. 🔗 unesco.org/en/articles/4th-g… #GFEAI @SDAIA_SA @ICAIRE_AI

On #InternationalWomensDay, UNESCO reaffirms its commitment to advancing rights, justice and action for all women and girls. Across many parts of the world, women and girls continue to face persistent inequalities — in access to education, employment, leadership, economic resources and participation in cultural and scientific life. These inequalities weaken not only individuals, but entire societies. As one of @UNESCO’s global priorities, gender equality guides our work across education, science, culture, communication and information. From supporting countries to reform education policies, to promoting women’s leadership in science and artificial intelligence, #UNESCO works with its Member States and partners to ensure that the rights of women and girls become a lived reality. Because advancing gender equality is essential for sustainable development, shared innovation and lasting peace. #ForAllWomenAndGirls #ForThePeople #GenderEquality
