Welcome Remarks:
H.E. Mr. Amara Sheikh Mohammed Sowa, Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Representative of the Republic of Sierra Leone to the UN
Hosted by the United Nations, this insightful panel discussion explores the transformative role of artificial intelligence (AI) in art and fashion and its potential to shape cultural narratives that foster global unity and sustainable development. As a leading international organization, the United Nations is dedicated to promoting peace, security, and international cooperation. Through its diplomatic and political efforts, the UN harmonizes actions among nations, serving as a central hub for addressing pressing global challenges.
This discussion brings together thought leaders, innovators, and creatives to examine how AI is revolutionizing the creative industries. From AI-generated art to data-driven fashion design, the panel highlights how technology is not only redefining artistic expression but also bridging cultural divides. By enabling cross-cultural collaboration, AI has the power to amplify diverse voices, celebrate shared humanity, and inspire innovative solutions to global issues.
The conversation also delves into the ethical implications of AI in creativity, emphasizing the importance of inclusivity, transparency, and sustainability. As AI continues to reshape the artistic landscape, the panel underscores its potential to contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in areas such as education, gender equality, and economic growth.
This event is a testament to the United Nations’ commitment to leveraging technology for the greater good. By exploring the intersection of AI, art, and fashion, the discussion aims to inspire actionable ideas that drive positive change and foster a more connected, equitable world.
(00:25) Today we focus on art and fashion as cultural components of the overall topic of world culture. We have a very good light of speakers and panelists here today. A world-renowned multimedia artist, Grimanesa Amorós, and I invite you now Grimanesa to make the presentation.
(00:46) First, thank you for the invitation and your kind introduction, dear Gordon. Light is ephemeral, light connects us all. We cannot touch it and at the same time, it’s universal.
(01:01) I think that we are all always looking to connect with each other, and what a better way than through light.
(01:15) The better we communicate, the better we are gonna be able to create a better world.
(01:21) We must work together to showcase better what unites us, and we have a lot to share with each other. Thank you.
