We Are Human at the United Nations Global Dialogue on AI Governance
We Are Human has submitted an official contribution to the inaugural United Nations Global Dialogue on AI Governance, whose first session will take place in Geneva on 6–7 July 2026.
Registered among the Dialogue's official submissions (Contribution Reference: 930), our contribution advocates a human rights-based approach to AI governance, rooted in artistic creation and cultural diversity. It presents the Ethics Notebook as a practical framework for fostering transparency, accountability, and trust in creative practices in the age of artificial intelligence.
Through this contribution, We Are Human affirms that AI governance cannot be viewed solely as a technical or regulatory matter. It is also a cultural, editorial, and profoundly human endeavour.

back and why the real divide
of our time is not technological but educational.

Paulina
Donoso
Ambassador’s Voice
Paulina Donoso explores how AI can give the Global South a voice or take it away, depending on whether it builds these technologies or merely
uses them.
Philippe
Trotin
