At ICEED, we believe the true value of AI in healthcare lies in strengthening healthcare systems and improving access to quality care.

📌How can healthcare professionals integrate AI into their clinical workflows?
📌In what ways can facilities with limited resources use it effectively?
📌Does it reach the communities that could benefit most?
📌 And once a diagnosis is made, how can patients access the treatment, follow-up care, and support?

Building stronger healthcare systems through AI calls for collaboration among research, policy, clinical practice, technology, and investment. Bringing these perspectives together creates opportunities to develop solutions that are both innovative and responsive to real-world needs.

World Youth Skills Day 2026 calls us to reflect on what it truly takes to build a shared future through intergenerational collaboration.

While younger generations often bring imagination, urgency, courage, and innovative perspectives, experienced leaders offer invaluable strategic guidance, institutional memory, and lessons learned through practice. The integration of these distinct yet complementary strengths establishes a robust foundation for technological innovation, economic cooperation, and societal progress.

In a world shaped by rapid technological change, climate pressure, and shifting global realities, youth investment is becoming increasingly urgent, particularly as skills create opportunity, trust builds confidence, and participation inspires leadership.

The gap between what AI systems are designed to do and what they are actually doing is where the most important governance information lives and where the evidence base for more responsive policy gets built.

Closing that distance requires consistent documentation across jurisdictions, shared terminology that makes findings legible across different legal systems, and a direct connection between what monitoring reveals and the institutions where governance decisions are made. As the pace at which AI systems are being deployed across high-stakes environments increases, the urgency of building them well is consequential.

For ICEED, this is an important area of active engagement that contributes to effective AI governance grounded in evidence, responsive to what is actually happening, and oriented toward both present realities and future developments.

Crisis creates pressure for immediate answers. And immediate answers have their place.

But the decisions that shape outcomes well beyond the moment they were made are just as important.

🍀 What are the consequences of this decision beyond the immediate?
🍀 Whose context is different from ours, and how does that change what we are looking at?
🍀 What does this make possible or foreclose for the systems that come after?

This approach makes governance more durable, frameworks more adaptable, and coordination more practical when it matters most. Across the spaces ICEED engages in, the conversation extends beyond current challenges to how systems prepare for what comes next.

For us, governing effectively and navigating crises well begins long before the crisis arrives, with the quality of the questions being asked, the depth of the thinking applied, and the willingness to look further than the immediate consequences and shape what comes next.

AI is developing rapidly, but not uniformly. The gaps emerging across regions and institutions are showing up in who participates in governance conversations, who influences the frameworks being built, and whose contexts are reflected in the standards being set.

According to the United Nations Development Programme - UNDP's flagship report, The Next Great Divergence, AI usage in some high-income economies reaches two in three people, while in many low-income countries it remains close to 5%. UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Technology and Innovation Report notes that 118 countries, mostly from the Global South, are currently absent from global AI governance discussions. At the same time, just 100 companies account for 40% of the world's private AI research and development investment.

These statistics describe the conditions under which the rules governing AI are being written and who influences them. Addressing this requires sustained, cross-regional engagement. It requires governance processes that are informed by diverse starting points and approaches that are sensitive to the different capacities and contexts countries bring to the same conversation.

ICEED is committed to contributing to the spaces where those conversations happen and supporting the development of frameworks that reflect the full complexity of the world AI is entering.

During her opening remarks at last week’s high-level conference on the Western Balkans and the Black Sea region, Divya Gupta, Chief of Executive Board & Committee at ICEED, emphasized the urgent need for coordinated and forward-looking approaches that reinforce not only institutional resilience but also societal trust, media integrity, and civic capacity in the AI era.

This milestone event reflects ICEED’s commitment to advancing credible, high-impact, and human-centered global strategies. We are honored to have participated in the conference convened by the NATO Defense College Foundation, which brought together policymakers, researchers, institutions, and emerging experts to examine the future of democratic resilience, cognitive security, and NATO-EU cooperation in an increasingly complex global environment.

ICEED extends its sincere gratitude to the NATO Defense College Foundation, Ambassador Alessandro Minuto Rizzo, Alessandro Politi, distinguished speakers, researchers, and partners for fostering such an important and timely dialogue. We also extend a special thank you to the young researchers and practitioners who participated in the Future Lab session. Your perspectives and analytical rigor are essential to what forward-looking policy work. We remain committed to advancing interdisciplinary collaboration across AI governance, security, sustainability, innovation, and strategic policy development.

To many, multilateralism is perceived as lengthy summits and commitments that struggle to translate into anything tangible. That perception is understandable but incomplete.

Recent data from the World Economic Forum Global Cooperation Barometer 2026 indicates that while broad cooperation metrics have shifted by over 20% since 2019, progress thrives where engagement remains flexible and focused on shared interests. This shift is mirrored in a Rockefeller Foundation survey across 34 countries, which found that 55% of respondents prioritize international cooperation when it aligns with national strategic goals.

For ICEED, this principle is central to our work. Across every sector, we build our engagement on long-term presence and the relational trust that supports the processes that shape credible, results-driven frameworks. Explore our work and reflections on global governance at I-CEED.org

Thank you to the editors, publications, and media outlets that highlighted the importance of international dialogue across healthcare, innovation, governance, and patient-centered systems. The conversations around “Ethics, Innovation, Care: The Italy–USA Dialogue for a More Human-Centered Healthcare System” held at the Consulate General of Italy in New York last month was attended by delegates and dignitaries from USA and Italy.

ICEED values opportunities that encourage thoughtful international exchange and strengthen connections across institutions, sectors, and global communities.

Last month in Rome, ICEED joined the as it marked 15 years of bridging the Alliance with the broader international community. Bringing together leaders from across defense, security, and international cooperation, the event highlighted the value of sustained dialogue and trusted collaboration in addressing complex international challenges.

As the foundation enters its next chapter, ICEED reaffirms its commitment to create space for dialogue, strengthen relationships over time, and contribute to the broader conversations shaping international cooperation. We extend our gratitude to Ambassador Alessandro Minuto Rizzo, Alessandro Politi, Lorenza Santarelli, and the wider Foundation team for convening such a thoughtful evening and for their continued leadership. ICEED looks forward to building on this partnership and contributing to the work ahead.
