Background & Purpose

In a rapidly evolving technological landscape, the world stands at a defining crossroads. As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes an embedded force shaping health systems, cultural legacies, and global trade, a widening gap persists between communities that have access to innovation and those left behind. The Aspire Artemis Foundation (AAF) invites you to a powerful high-level convening during UNGA 80 to address this divide head-on.

AI has shifted the digital landscape and is set to transform work in ways not yet fully recognized nor imagined. In the health sector, it has been used to form targeted interventions that has led to large scale advances in care and healing for patients.

From being confronted by false AI created images and videos made without our consent or storylines created in seconds about who we are as private individuals by systems with limited data, artificial intelligence is impacting our everyday lives. In the age of AI, how could we protect and preserve cultural heritage and legacy?

This year’s summit—Culture, Health, Trade & the Role of Artificial Intelligence—will explore how inclusive innovation, STEAM education, cultural resilience, and wellness can be harnessed through collective action partnerships to empower vulnerable populations and build a more equitable digital future.

Overview:

Join us during the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 80) for a dynamic High-Level Summit hosted by the Aspire Artemis Foundation, in partnership with global development organizations, UN agencies, private sector leaders, and youth innovators.

This flagship convening will explore the intersection of Culture, Health, Trade, and the transformative Role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in shaping inclusive development—particularly across the Global South.
