Description
AI: A Societal & Intergenerational Change Requiring Digital Cooperation
The session will deliberate on the long-term impact of AI and how it is transforming societies and why and how we can have Digital Cooperation
AI is not just a technological disruption; it is reshaping societies, economies, and intergenerational dynamics. It influences governance, education, healthcare, and social structures, creating both opportunities and challenges. From algorithmic decision-making to AI-driven automation, its impact extends beyond efficiency—it redefines power, access, and equity.
Younger generations integrate AI seamlessly, while older ones struggle with adoption, shifting traditional knowledge and workplace hierarchies. AI-driven decisions today will shape privacy, governance, and economic structures for future generations. Ethical concerns like bias, digital inequality, and workforce disruption highlight the need for global cooperation.
Why Digital Cooperation is Essential
• Inclusive AI Development: Policymakers, businesses, and civil society must collaborate on ethical AI frameworks.
• Fair AI Governance: International regulations should prevent misuse, such as surveillance and bias.
• Job & Education Adaptation: AI literacy and reskilling programs are necessary for workforce transitions.
• Responsible AI Innovation: Governments and organizations must balance innovation with societal well-being.
• Bridging the Digital Divide: Equitable access to AI tools is crucial to prevent widening inequalities.
AI’s transformation demands collective action to ensure it serves as a force for progress rather than division. Digital cooperation is key to navigating this change responsibly, ensuring AI benefits all generations.
