“We have developed a special exhibition entitled “The Art of Equality: A Journey to Justice”, previously showcased at the Palais des Nations in Geneva. The exhibition explores themes of equality and justice through the lens of 39 artists from 23 countries across six regions, closely resonating with the core themes of the AI for Good Global Summit.

In this context, we would be very interested in presenting its virtual metaverse version at the Summit. Through the use of VR headsets, participants are immersed in a multi-dimensional journey of social justice, where artistic narratives are experienced in an interactive and reflective way.

Importantly, this approach also highlights how emerging technologies—such as AI and the metaverse—can help translate complex social issues into accessible, experiential formats. By doing so, they can support research, education, and dialogue around social development, enabling new ways of engaging audiences, fostering empathy, and envisioning inclusive futures.

The setup is intentionally simple and adaptable: it would only require a screen and internet connection, as we would provide the VR headsets and manage the experience on-site.

We believe this initiative could contribute an innovative and meaningful dimension to the Summit’s programme, bridging art, technology, and social impact.”
