“Frontiers? I’ve never seen one. But I’ve heard they exist in some people’s minds.” Thor Heyerdahl.

Humanity has gradually organized itself, and moved from dispersion and individual struggle for survival since the rise of Homo Sapiens, to ever larger and better structured collective living spaces. From the small collective areas of the tribe, family and village we have moved on to cities, regions, states and the federation of states. Finally, the first major planetary political organizations were born in the last century: the League of Nations in 1920 and the United Nations organization in 1945. Now humanity must continue to move towards the creation of a global world political space, underpinned by rules. and institutions whose emphasis is on unleashing the talents of all. The Nordic region is what we call “One Humanity World”, where each person gets a new central value.

The story continues

The world is at a major crossroads towards exponential progress. Advances through the use of artificial intelligence systems and the dissemination of knowledge through open communication on a planetary scale are increasingly promising. We must work to ensure that the entire development of artificial intelligence is at the full service of humanity, and we must move towards structuring the world politically, overcoming the divisions between groups, to achieve a global planetary constitution. States fulfill the great function of organizing collective life in the various corners of the planet. They are now asked to contribute and encourage their citizens to transcend the boundaries and enter into the work of feeling, within valuable diversity, parts of a single whole: humanity. The world of “One Humanity” seeks to achieve the creation of this global political space without fragmentation and based on the empowerment of each individual member.

It is important to set the right goal. The time of arrival is a secondary variable. Joining wills in this noble endeavor is essential. We, the people, are the power.

As part of the event, Fundación Onuart will organize this first global dialogue on the relationship between human intelligence and artificial intelligence for the better management of public affairs, paving the way for new initiatives from the private sector in favor of a positive global development driven by innovation and inclusion. Artificial intelligence in the service of humanity can drive diversity, respect and progress for all through innovation. Moving forward under a strong public-private partnership is essential to this end. The meeting will serve to deepen, manifest and visualize this partnership. Its mission is to increase the value of art as a catalyst for dialogue. Through art, the foundation stimulates debate at the highest level to inspire tolerance and understanding between nations and cultures within all international organizations, and seeks to achieve a more creative and less conventional approach to each negotiation and each debate.

UNAOC brings stories of solidarity and compassion amid the current pandemic from its global community of alumni and program participants. “As we wrestle with this new reality, we are reminded that we can only overcome this together as #OneHumanity.”
