?? The 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly, High-Level General Debate AI & AMR ?? This year’s assembly is a critical moment for global diplomacy, with discussions focused on key international issues like peace, security, artificial intelligence (AI), climate change, and sustainable development. ?? AI is a central theme this year, as nations explore how emerging technologies can shape the future of global economies, security, and ethical governance. The responsible development and regulation of AI are now high on the agenda, with leaders seeking to balance innovation with safety and privacy. ?? Another pressing issue is antimicrobial resistance (AMR). On Thursday, September 26, the UN will hold a High-Level Meeting addressing this growing global health challenge. AMR occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites evolve to resist the effects of antimicrobial medicines, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness, and death. ?? The intersection of AI and healthcare is also being discussed. AI has the potential to revolutionize the way we detect, manage, and treat AMR, from developing new diagnostic tools to optimizing the use of existing medicines. The integration of AI in combating AMR is one of the innovative solutions the assembly aims to explore. ?? AMR already causes over 1.27 million deaths annually, and by 2050, drug-resistant infections could claim 10 million lives per year if not addressed. This makes the 26th of September a critical day, as global leaders work together to find solutions. ?? AI’s role in reshaping health policies, as well as addressing challenges like AMR, highlights the importance of global cooperation in both technological and medical fields. The discussions at the UN General Assembly this week will have a long-term impact on shaping our future. #UNGA78 #UNGeneralAssembly #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AMR #GlobalHealth #SustainableDevelopment #Diplomacy #AntimicrobialResistance #PublicHealth #HealthInnovation #GlobalCooperation #TechForGood

If you (like me) are just starting to learn about AI in the context of global health and are feeling (like me) overwhelmed by the amount and complexity of information out there, this is a really accessible piece on regulation by Bilal A Mateen. Not only does it have examples I can actually understand (!), but the message of solidarity is essential—not just for the G20 but for all of us working in this space.
Today, Bilal A Mateen addressed the G20 Brasil 2024 Health Working Group, sharing a vision of global solidarity to ensure the future of AI for health is equitable. ? “Whilst we speak often about the positive impact and potential of AI, I think we are all realising that there is, at the same time, a dark reality we need to contend with—the rapid pace of development is quickly creating a series of winners and losers. This is not a distant future; it's happening now.”? ? Read his full remarks at the link below ? https://lnkd.in/enUhD5W3 #AI4Health #AIregulation #solidarity #digitalhealth #G20Brazil PATH
