Hundreds of participants gathered at the World Trade Organization (WTO) on September 14 for World Trade and Technology Day, an event held under the theme "AI and Trade: Turning Potential into Progress." The meeting featured a full day of discussion panels and knowledge-sharing opportunities, aimed at fostering conversations about technology and trade.
The event brought together government leaders, academics, and private sector representatives to discuss how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are making international trade more efficient. The debates emphasized the importance of collaboration between different sectors to maximize the benefits of these innovations and generate tangible economic gains that drive inclusive growth.
Participants also explored the ethical and regulatory implications of using AI in trade, recognizing the need for a legal framework that promotes innovation while protecting the interests of citizens and local economies.
