On July 10, 2026, the World Youth Forum (WYF) launched the Global AI Talent Compact at the AI for Good Global Summit 2026 in Geneva, Switzerland. The summit was organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in partnership with over 50 UN agencies and co-convened with the Government of Switzerland. The Compact establishes an open global action network with five commitments: expanding AI literacy, defining key human capabilities in the AI era, scaling challenge-based learning, safeguarding youth well-being, and recognizing ability through real work. The launch convened leaders from the UN system, academia, and youth innovation, including Fabrizio Hochschild, Frédéric Werner, and Ben Nelson. WYF will convene founding supporters to advance year-round AI learning and talent recognition.
