 Thanks for joining us here in Geneva for the AI for Good Global Summit 2018. My next guest is the UN Secretary-General's envoy on youth, Ms Jayatma Vikwa Manayake. Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you for having me. It's important to include youth in discussions on AI, isn't it? Tell us why. So for too long, young people have been considered as passive beneficiaries of policies or programs or even sometimes initiatives designed by adults. The conversation right now is to take into account that half of the world's population is young people. If we consider everyone living on this planet Earth under the age of 30, then that comprises half of the world's population. So if discussions are being carried out and if decisions are being made about our common future, then as equal partners we should be able to have a voice in making those decisions. So young people all over the world are demanding for their voices to be heard, not just in discussions on AI and frontier technologies, but if you see from sustainable development to time and change to reforming our political institutions, young people are demanding for a greater voice and a seat at the table. So that is what I spoke about today at the panel about giving young people an opportunity to contribute to these important discussions that will directly affect their future and lives. So the panel where you were present this morning discussed the use of AI in various aspects like education for instance, youth obviously, but also inclusion and female inclusion in particular. Can you share some insights with us? Definitely. The theme of the panel that I spoke at was AI for education and youth. I wanted to bring in a perspective of course by being a young woman myself and growing up in a patriarchal society. I come from Sri Lanka, a country in South Asia that is very patriarchal by our societal and cultural nature. In many parts of the world, mostly in Africa and Asia, young women do not even have access to go to school or to the basic digital literacy. I shared some statistics by UNICEF which said that in the case of Ghana, out of all young people who use internet cafes, only 6.6% is young women. So there are very much, very beginning qualities when it comes to the grassroots level in the villages, in the communities of the way that young women are given opportunities to learn and exercise their right to access this information and technologies. So that was one of the key elements that our discussion focused on, that is how do we use AI as a tool to reduce these existing inequalities so that we can empower more young women and girls via STEM education or via breaking these social and cultural barriers to have direct access to technologies that will shape their futures. And the AI for Good Global Summit is the ideal platform for someone like you and the people you represent to discuss basically working together in achieving these goals. Definitely, I think ITU has a unique convening power to bring together, you know, private sector entrepreneurs, the big tech companies who might otherwise not listen to groups of young people demanding for their voices to be heard or their rights to be exercised. But on the other hand, you also have governments who are responsible for making these policy decisions, especially when it comes to ensuring that those who are farthest left behind are the ones who first receive benefits of technologies like AI. So to have that conversation in a very safe, engaging environment with the business sector, entrepreneurs, governments, young people and civil society, I think is a unique space that we otherwise do not have in many other areas. Jayaatma, thank you very much. Thank you for having me again.
