A pleasure to welcome high-level guests after #WSIS and #AIforGood, two resounding successes this year! Each contributing to our efforts to ensure inclusive and meaningful connectivity, and digital skills for all.

Catch up on my conversation with @TonyMaciulis @gzeromedia as we discuss closing the gaps in infrastructure, skills, and trust to ensure AI benefits everyone, how to scale #AIforGood local solutions, and why it's so important our @AIforGood Global Summit is open to all
85% of countries still don’t have an AI policy. Only 32 have the infrastructure to build AI systems. At the 2025 @AIforGood Summit, ITU Sec.-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin outlines the growing gaps in compute power, policy, skills, and what’s needed to close them. #GlobalStage
Great to meet H.E Philip Davis, PM of the Bahamas, at #CANTO2025 and discuss universal and meaningful connectivity across the Caribbean. I look forward to returning next year for the #WTPF on “Accelerating an inclusive, sustainable, resilient, and innovative digital future.”

On #YouthSkillsDay, we celebrate the creativity, resilience, and power of #YouthLead change. At @ITU, we’re committed to building #DigitalSkills that make young people truly #WorkLifeReady and ready to shape a better world.

“Individually, we are one drop… but together, we are an ocean." Celebrating 40 years of connecting the Caribbean we’re reminded that forward-looking policy and collaborative regulation are key to closing the digital divide, making connectivity affordable, and sharing resources.


A great pleasure to address the 40th Annual CANTO Conference — celebrating four decades of leadership, vision & collaboration. Its theme “Towards a Unified and Sustainable Caribbean Gigabit Society,” looks ahead to advancing meaningful access, resilience & disaster preparedness.


What an incredible week! Transformation is a word we often hear in the tech world. And when it comes to AI, we truly are in a transformative moment. We are the generation to shape #AIforGood. Together, we can transform our digital future to benefit both people and planet. #WSIS

This year's #AIforGood Global Summit has shown that when people come together, dialogue can lead to inclusive cooperation, concrete action, and hope
ITU’s #AIforGood Global Summit energizes collaboration on AI governance, skills, and standards itu.int/en/mediacentre… Rapid advance of innovation reinforces global commitment to AI for good
As we wrap up the #AIforGood Global Summit, let’s recommit to treat AI not as an end but as a means to do good, as much as we possibly can, for the benefit of all humanity. Remember that we are the AI generation, and we can do more…

After two decades of progress, the multi-stakeholder #WSIS community can be proud of our collaborative efforts to build a more inclusive and sustainable information society. At the WSIS+20 High-Level Event, we reaffirmed our commitment to keep the WSIS spirit alive beyond 2025
#WSIS+20 High-Level Event 2025 charts path for a sustainable digital future that includes all itu.int/en/mediacentre… Global digital development community joins in Geneva to build on 20 years of using technology for human progress
With the 20-year review just around the corner, what’s next for #WSIS? This week has shown that: -We are ecosystem builders -The WSIS platform is ready to take on challenges of the AI era -The WSIS story is far from over… And the next chapter is ours to shape!

Such a pleasure to bring 2 inspiring communities together: One nurturing women’s leadership in standardization The other empowering women in the AI ecosystem Together we're expanding space for women to lead in fields where their voices are sorely needed–AI + standards #AIforGood

Digital innovation has opened up incredible opportunities, but has also exposed stark inequalities. Policy decisions, particularly around emerging tech, will be consequential in defining whether and how these technologies impact the lives + livelihoods of all people #WSIS

Our #ITU160 + #UN80 anniversaries remind us that tech and diplomacy must evolve hand-in-hand if we are to keep these institutions fit for a future coming at us fast. Great discussions with digital diplomats on leveraging innovation to benefit the people we serve #WSIS #AIforGood

This transformative AI moment demands more than admiration or alarm. It demands dialogue and concerted action on inclusive, forward-looking governance that drives innovation and builds public trust. Governance that minimizes risks and leaves no one behind. #AIforGood

Time to take on the responsibility of AI stewardship with the same energy + momentum at which AI itself is advancing. My hope is that our #AIforGood Governance Dialogue can help steer the development of AI in a way that is not only visionary but also practical and human-centered.

For 20 years, #WSIS has proven multistakeholder cooperation works. Together, we have created a time-tested platform where we are all working toward the shared goal of putting technology at the service of sustainable digital development for all.


The @UN Group on the Information Society brings together 31 UN entities + 17 observers to transform the WSIS vision into real, measurable impact in people’s lives + livelihoods. There is no better time to reaffirm and strengthen our cooperation than now, ahead of #WSIS+20 Review

The AI Generation will be defined by the depth of its skillset and the breadth of its participation. Join us to close the AI skills gap and ensure everyone has the resources, access, and ability to leverage #AIforGood aiforgood.itu.int/ai-skills-coal…
