Our human magnificence is not simply that we built AI. It is whether we are wise enough to decide how to use it. Whatever AI becomes, the measure of progress must still be what it makes possible for humankind and our planet. Amidst #UNGA, we brought our AI & Human Development journey and harvest to New York. Tomorrow, we take it back across the world to seed the outcomes so we keep the promise of the SDGs.

So even when I am no longer Secretary-General, be sure of this: I'll keep championing the conviction that peace is possible, human dignity is universal, the power of law must prevail over the law of power & our common future is worth fighting for. I will never, ever give up.
