🌍 Introducing the Youth IGF AI Foresight Programme 2026!
The IGF and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, is launching a four-session programme to build strategic foresight skills within the Youth IGF community.
🎯 The goal: equip Youth IGF organizers and contributors with practical foresight tools so they can bring forward-looking thinking on digital and AI governance back to their local Youth IGF meetings.
👥 41 selected participants, representing national and regional Youth IGFs across the globe.
🗓️ Starting October 2026:
Three online sessions unpack futures literacy, driver-mapping, and strategic thinking applied to AI governance, followed by a hybrid session at the Global IGF in December.

🎥 In an interview with UN News during last week's UNGA81, the IGF-affiliated UN Global Advocate for Human-centric Digital Governance, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, poses a timely question: "Do we want AI models that are making maximum money for the businesses that build them, or do we want AI models that do the most good for the people that use them?"
It's a question the whole world is grappling with, and the goal, increasingly, is to align the two. Building AI takes real investment in research, infrastructure, and the capital and people behind it. Yet AI's impact on society is unlike any product before it, which calls for a new balance between commercial success and social responsibility.
That balance can't be struck by any one actor alone. Business, government, civil society, and the technical community each hold part of the answer. The UN and the IGF exist to bring them together, to share best practices, air differing views, and find common ground that supports both digital innovation and the people technologies touch.

Last week, the IGF Secretariat visited Inha University in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, where we were warmly welcomed by the Vice Rector for Youth and met with 50 computer science students and faculty.
The IGF delivered a capacity development session covering Internet governance, the history and evolution of the IGF, multistakeholderism, and the broader IGF ecosystem, connecting students with the people, processes and opportunities shaping the digital future. 🌐
We thank the students and faculty for their enthusiastic participation, thoughtful insights and attentive engagement throughout the session. Their curiosity and perspectives made for a meaningful exchange and highlighted the importance of empowering the next generation to shape the future of Internet governance.

The PN has identified four work areas where your expertise can make a difference:
1️⃣ A multistakeholder emergency response mechanism to secure civilian Internet access in conflict and crisis

3️⃣ A holistic multistakeholder approach spanning preparedness, protection and recovery
4️⃣ IGF input to the UN 1st Committee Global Mechanism on ICTs in the context of international security
Anyone can join and participate. Express your interest in one or more work areas via the form 👇.
