.@UNESCO hosted a conference on creativity in the age of #AI. Artists, cultural actors and the private sector explored how to support human creativity while harnessing the potential of AI. As technology advances in leaps and bounds, we must respond with equal agility, together.

As #UNGA gets underway, one question is central to the global conversation on #AI: who gets to shape its future? Together with @ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin, we make the case for AI that people and countries can trust, understand and help shape. Innovation must go hand in hand with human rights, inclusion, skills and meaningful participation. Our joint statement with @ITUSecGen: unes.co/aifuture #ForThePeople

It was an honour to meet President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during my first official visit to Ukraine. I thanked President @ZelenskyyUa for his gracious invitation and expressed my appreciation to the Government of Ukraine for its warm hospitality. We reviewed @UNESCO’s action across its mandate and discussed priorities for further cooperation on Ukraine’s resilience and recovery. I also paid tribute to the courage of the Ukrainian people and conveyed my heartfelt condolences for all the lives lost in the context of the war. @UNESCO stands in full solidarity with the people and Government of Ukraine. My visit, during my first year in office, reflects that commitment. #ForThePeople

As part of the joint secretariat for the Dialogue, alongside @ITU and @ODET_UN, UNESCO brought its standards, tools and expertise to help advance a One @UN approach to AI governance. AI must be safe, inclusive and truly #ForThePeople.

On 1 July, Ireland takes over the Presidency of the Council of the EU for the 8th time. In an uncertain world, our strength is reinforced when we stand together. In Ireland, the seanfhocal or proverb “Ní neart go cur le chéile” reminds us that we have “Strength with unity”.

Behind every restored wall of Barood Khana is a story of local craftmanship. Stone by stone, skilled craftspeople from Mosul are bringing the historic building back to life — using traditional techniques, matching original materials. 1/2
