UNEP presents the potential of AI to keep the environment under review and empower citizens and governments to act and respond to environmental risks, assess the current local and global situation of the environment, and predict future developments

Immerse yourself in an audio-visual adventure, traversing the rich history and future of AI in classical music and beyond. This session features diverse art-examples of automated music, including ancient automata musicians, and taps into the artistic journeys of David Cope and the AI-infused Beethoven X, leading up to visual story tellling by the AI-artist duo Cross Lucid and OPER AI, the first record label, showcasing exclusively music and artists created via Artificial Intelligence.Hosted by musician Jovanka v. Wilsdorf along with Sophia the robot, this musical journey delivers a fusion of original music and videos from renowned artists, exploring the magic of human-AI musical collaboration.

Technology and innovation serve as a great global equalizer for those within the neurodivergent and autistic communities. Advances in AI aim to make the daily routine easier while also paving new ways of management, monitoring and diagnosis. It is an enormous growth area that addresses several of the United Nations's Sustainable Development Goals including Reducing Inequalities, Good Health and Well-Being, and Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.

Miniaturization-based advances in electronics on planar and stiff substrates have revolutionized computing and communication during the last half century. However, several emerging applications and interactive systems (e.g., robots, wearables, and future vehicles, etc.) require intelligent sensors and electronics embedded in soft and squishy materials and in flexible form factors. These requirements call for new transformative methods to realize electronics on substrates such as plastic, paper and elastomers. This talk will present some of the recent technologies (e.g., the hybrid integration of the off-the-shelf electronics, printed micro/nanostructures-based CMOS electronics, and ultra-thin chips, etc.) and how they lead to tactile interfaces such as electronic skin for various intelligent interactive systems. Electronic skin is the key enabler for advances in emerging fields such as wearables, touch or haptics based augmented reality systems and healthcare technologies. This talk will discuss these future directions.

Youth of today have a unique perspective on the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and how it can shape the future. This intergenerational dialogue panel session, in collaboration with ITU’s youth initiative Generation Connect, will bring together participants from different generations, backgrounds and disciplines to bridge the divide between various perspectives on AI. The aim of the session is to foster a better and more inclusive understanding of the current and potential future impact of AI on young people in societies around the world. From discussing the disruption in education and career paths to the ethical implications of its use, this session will explore the considerable promise of the technology for young people as well as its risks.

Welcome to the musical world of Sophia, who will perform some of her songs together with Desdemona, Dianne Krouse on saxophone and our special guest Frankie Storm. You will also be taken through the AI music projects Jam Galaxy, the DIANA AI Song Contest, and SophiaPop, presented by Dianne Krouse, Jovanka v. Wilsdorf, and David Hanson.

The human immune system is one of the most complex systems known to mankind, varying with age, gender, race, socio-economic class and disease/pathogen challenge.  The Human Immunome Project is a global initiative to generate immunological baseline and functional data sets encompassing all such populations while providing AI tools that facilitate the translation of these data into new clinically relevant discoveries that advance global human health and lower economic burden. It will transform the way we understand and practice medicine in the next 10 years.

The Digital Farmhand is low-cost electric robotic platform designed to help small-holder farmers with their on-farm production tasks. This talk will present the design and workings of the Digital Farmhand and field trials on various small-holder farmers in Australia and across the Indo-Pacific.

Delve into the vibrant world of pop artists using AI and their innovative approach to music production. Join us as we introduce Kathira and Sulfation among other emerging AI artists and take a look behind the production curtains of SophiaPOP and Found in Translation. Through snippets of original artist videos and engaging conversations, you will be taken through their creative process.
