Let me tell you about our week in New York, where #TeamITU worked tirelessly to bring our work across many vital #UNGA discussions, helping turn digital priorities into action at #DigitalUNGA & beyond!

AI ambitions have to meet people where they are. The AI Skills Coalition strategy is designed around that: mapping skills demand, strengthening national AI skills ecosystems, matching needs with the right resources & accelerating programmes for people too often left behind.

As the #AIforGood AI Skills Coalition meets on the margins of #UNGA, our efforts must ultimately translate into real opportunities— unlocking new career paths in the AI economy, helping people adapt as jobs change & giving policymakers the skills to make informed decisions.

Amid a packed #UNGA week where AI is moving rapidly up the international agenda, the #AIforGood Commission met to take stock of recent developments and consider how to harness AI's potential as a force for good, and for all.

AI is like a mirror, that can only reflect the world that it's shown. Right now, that view is far too narrow. Innovation is thriving well beyond the major tech hubs. We need to ensure that local innovators have the resources to shape AI for their communities, not simply adopt it.

Always great to spotlight Women in Cyber with @gcfriyadh. Technology shaped without women cannot fully reflect the risks they face or the solutions they bring. We need to do more to remove the barriers that still hold women back from entering, growing & leading in cybersecurity.

For nearly 2 decades, @ITU has been working with partners to make the online world safer for children & we're ready to put that experience to work as AI reshapes their digital world. Grateful to France, Spain, Kenya & Australia for uniting us around such a vital mission.

Today's message is clear - each of us can help build a digital future that works for everyone, everywhere. As we wrap up another incredible #Digital@UNGA, we carry this promise forward - to make digital a force for empowerment across communities, countries & generations.

We all have a stake in our #DigitAllFuture. And we all have a role in shaping it. Created by @ITU & @UNDP, Digital@UNGA has grown into a truly global platform that brings together a community of people who are not just talking about a digital future but actually building it.

Celebrating 10 years of @equals & what it has made possible for women & girls around the world — truly a decade of impact! Now, with AI adding a new dimension to our work, the next decade must focus on making it a force for greater equality rather than entrenching existing gaps.

Peace gives societies the space to prosper, people the chance to thrive, making it possible for us to work together on the big challenges facing humanity that no country can solve alone. #InvestinPeace #PeaceDay
Graphic for the International Day of Peace 2026. Large white text at the top reads “Invest in Peace,” with the subtitle “For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day.” A blue-toned image of Earth is centered against a blue-to-green gradient background with concentric circular lines. A white dove-shaped symbol and curved orbit line encircle the planet. At the bottom right, text reads “International Day of Peace, 21 September 2026.” The United Nations emblem appears in the bottom left corner.

When women are missing from the table, vital expertise and perspectives are missing too. Women need a real say in designing the technology, setting the standards & shaping the decisions. Because that is how we make tech better, safer & more trusted for everyone. @WPLeadersOrg
