The United Nations says the focus is on artificial intelligence for 2024’s “Day of Democracy.”
The United Nations secretary general António Guterres has declared this year’s “International Day of Democracy” a referendum on artificial intelligence in a message posted to the UN website on Aug. 30.
Observed annually on Sep. 15 since 2017, the International Day of Democracy is an event promoting the principles of democracy. Each year, prior to the event, the UN secretary general gives a message describing the theme of the event and its importance.
Per a press release from the UN, this year’s Democracy Day focuses on “artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool for good governance.”
