UN Virtual Worlds Day to examine AI-driven cities
Governments, city leaders, and UN entities will gather at UN Virtual Worlds Day to discuss AI-driven communities and digital public services.
The International Telecommunication Union will host the 3rd UN Virtual Worlds Day at its headquarters in Geneva, bringing together UN entities, governments, city leaders, industry representatives and innovators to discuss the future of AI-driven cities and communities.
The UN Virtual Worlds Day is being organised with a wide group of UN and international partners, including ITCILO, FAO, UNDP, UNECA, UNECE, UNECLAC, UN-Habitat, UNICEF, the UN Innovation Network, UNU-EGOV, the World Bank, WIPO, WMO, and the Global Cities Hub.
The programme will include high-level dialogue and an Ambassador Roundtable focused on how artificial intelligence, immersive virtual environments, spatial intelligence, and other frontier technologies are shaping urban governance and public service delivery.
Discussions will also examine emerging concepts such as the AI-enabled citiverse, where digital and immersive technologies may be used to support planning, service design, and engagement in cities and communities.
The event will link these developments to the implementation of the Global Digital Compact, with a focus on trusted, inclusive, and people-centred outcomes for urban and community governance worldwide.
