00:00:06
huh no still more accustomed to paper home was in the dinosaur
00:00:13
mister president of the dalai molly foundation this device rector of the university
00:00:18
of geneva mister director of the it yep institute a ladies and gentlemen
00:00:26
the participants first of all thank you very much indeed for involving me in this afternoon of celebration
00:00:32
i would not really like to start by wishing the telly
00:00:36
molly foundation very happy anniversary half a century is no mean feat
00:00:42
to be fifty years old is like being between two ages being drawn into the dance of life
00:00:49
that uh makes one oscillate between being crazy on the one hand and being wise on the other
00:00:56
in short at the age of fifty anything goes almost almost
00:01:01
an institution like the dalai molly foundation fifty years is first of all the time
00:01:06
for a for a stock taking in the form of congratulations what a long way they have come
00:01:11
from the inception of the foundation back in the early nineteen seventies to the present day and above all
00:01:17
how relevant the found really founder's vision the vision of
00:01:21
the founder tell italian industrious angelo deli molly has been
00:01:27
as an informed observer for was at the time still the infant c. of computing you realise
00:01:33
very early on the potential of the computer and above all the systemic consequences of it spread
00:01:40
this let him to say that and i quote scientific progress in general and progress made in computing in particular
00:01:47
was not in slave humanity but on the country be
00:01:49
at its service this conviction that technology must serve humanity
00:01:56
but also the plan it rather than in saving it
00:02:00
and increasing the imbalances which we all face is highly topical
00:02:05
and i see x. yes sign in the fact that
00:02:08
we're celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation in geneva
00:02:13
and in the same here that we're celebrating fiftieth anniversary of the climate conference held in stockholm
00:02:23
this is a sign of the special and a home guard role that
00:02:25
this ecosystem and those who contribute to it such as the deli molly foundation
00:02:30
can play in the search for innovative solutions to the major challenges of our age
00:02:35
it is on the specific theme but i would like to share with you some of my thoughts and convictions
00:02:41
ladies and gentleman we are unquestionably at a crossroads right
00:02:46
now three social contracts need to be urgently revised and updated
00:02:52
the contract that humanity has with the planet and its ecological boundaries
00:02:58
the contract that humanity has with emerging and trance formative technologies including
00:03:04
artificial intelligence and the one that we have with our fellow human beings
00:03:11
it's a series of extremely complex challenges but also a number of great opportunities
00:03:18
and the way in which we we shape our relationship with technology will be
00:03:23
a key part of that equation because of the cross cutting nature of its impact
00:03:31
unfortunately it's a fact that all too often cyberspace is used
00:03:34
to wage war and so division instead of being a tool
00:03:40
for making the world a better place as angelo deli
00:03:43
molly called for technology is increasingly being used as a weapon
00:03:47
as a result of the cover nineteen pandemic kinda worn ukraine
00:03:51
this information attack some critical infrastructure and online damage and now
00:03:58
i believe it's true to say kind that makes in their own right
00:04:02
although technology is never knew troll it can
00:04:08
be a one the same time i great strength but also an achilles heel for humanity and the planet
00:04:15
if we are to change this paradigm we have to act quickly among the top
00:04:20
priority is uh we should have we must better protect online privacy as professor click
00:04:27
there is a really is strongly advocate advocates on this
00:04:31
key is you have data protection we must also ensure that
00:04:34
distract t. g. vision developed by the federal department of foreign
00:04:38
affairs on digital self determination be realised as soon as possible
00:04:44
we must also ensure that there is more diversity in
00:04:47
a digital sphere that is still largely dominated by men
00:04:52
to bridge the digital divide and ensure that technology serve society
00:04:57
in an inclusive way i would like to see more women
00:05:02
and more minorities uh represented in key leadership
00:05:07
development and regulate three positions finally we need to
00:05:15
impose stronger codes of conduct for companies and companies operating in the digital world
00:05:21
and the possible encourage innovation at the service in the service of humanity
00:05:27
because of its assets in the field of regulation and standardisation but also because of the quality of the research carried out there
00:05:34
and the excellence of the economic innovation it generates the like geneva region has a unique opportunity
00:05:42
to play a leading role in the area of digital trust
00:05:50
but this requires all players they private or public to be exemplary in this area
00:05:56
it isn't gentleman we need in addition to harness the
00:06:00
power of technology to accelerate the march towards a net
00:06:04
positive will as we have discussed in the context of the building bridges movement which you may already heard about
00:06:11
digital technology has great potential to support progress toward sustainability that in its current form
00:06:18
it continues to enable unsustainable practised says that
00:06:23
the great natural systems entrenched inequality in compromise human well being
00:06:29
doesn't the urgent need to reverse these negative trends and to use the potential of digit
00:06:35
legislation as a vital tool to develop sustainable economic and social behaviour happens on the global scale
00:06:42
we need to shift the focus away from the peseta
00:06:45
short term unsustainable gains towards achievement of long term sustainable outcomes
00:06:52
the launch and roll out of the global coalition
00:06:55
for digital environmental sustainability code s. is its acronym
00:07:01
which is partly lead from geneva suggest to me that the next iteration
00:07:04
of this agenda is finally and the weight and there's no time to lose
00:07:08
finally we must ensure that artificial intelligence remains at the service of
00:07:13
humanity and not the other way round as mister deli molly wished
00:07:18
to do so we will have to create new legal frameworks as well
00:07:22
as an innovative approach approach to label in this context i would like to
00:07:27
warmly welcomed the project at the deli mouldy foundation the yep institute to martinique and
00:07:33
the university of geneva aiming to develop in terms of the labelling of artificial intelligence
00:07:41
prospect and ambition of being able to develop a tool that will automatically
00:07:46
verify compliance with ethical criteria and
00:07:49
digital trust in artificial intelligence projects using
00:07:53
personal data has to my knowledge no equipment elsewhere i'm delighted that the
00:08:00
like play more region is once again leading the way and i think the deli molly foundation what's leading role
00:08:07
in this project
00:08:09
the development of which i'm following very closely
00:08:17
ladies and gentleman according to the studies conducted by the geneva internet platform
00:08:24
today already almost fifty percent of digital covenants is done in geneva
00:08:29
we can be pleased about this but given the magnitude of the
00:08:32
work to be done it's not the time to rest on our laurels
00:08:40
looking at she challenges in a more holistic integrated way is a must
00:08:45
as the u. n. secretary general's report on digital corporation highlights geneva is the place
00:08:53
uh examples where technology meets humanity real the custodians of
00:08:58
one hundred fifty year old tradition in this field huh
00:09:03
but we cannot simply content ourselves with managing this legacy
00:09:07
continuing on our way in a business as usual mode
00:09:12
in other words we need to reinvent the way in which we collaborate and build bridges between disciplines because
00:09:19
in general solutions cannot be delivered by just one stakeholder alone
00:09:26
as the telly molly's foundation deli molly foundations way of doing things illustrates so well
00:09:33
from the point of view of creating spaces for dialogue in science but also in diplomacy and the private sector
00:09:38
geneva offers a unique platform with its wide range of actors from global governance and the business world
00:09:45
rubbing shoulders with academic like tells is to broaden the scope of what is possible or
00:09:52
the instrument in the orchestra pit is not time to
00:09:56
set them to music can create to re generative how many
00:10:00
it isn't gems when i would like to conclude by
00:10:02
wishing the telly molly foundation a very active second fiftieth anniversary
00:10:10
and i hope you will be able to a benefit
00:10:14
from many challenges and successes of the next uh fifty years
00:10:20
in order to paraphrase just angelo deli molly
00:10:25
i hope that scientific progress in general and progress in computer science in particular may elevate humanity and
00:10:31
contribute to regenerate ecosystems on which it depends thank
