The Human Rights Council at the United Nations in Geneva has started work towards drafting a new Convention on the Rights of Older Persons. AI presents powerful tools to support intercultural dialogues and to collect the voices of older persons from around the world to shape the drafting of the Convention. This conference is an opportunity for civil society, academia and other stakeholders to convene and build together a roadmap on the use of AI to inform the drafting of the New Convention on the Rights of Older Persons.
