AI is here to stay, and we are already in the midst of a new cyberworld era, where certain aspects, such as cybersecurity and cybercrime, have become integral parts of daily life. This conference has made it very clear from the outset that we cannot merely be a talk shop; we must come up with actionable recommendations from the various sessions. Every year, we produce an outcome document, which we then share globally with all 194 countries, their respective ministries, and United Nations bodies. It is crucial for every stakeholder to understand how global thought leaders are approaching emerging issues and trends in cyberspace. These parameters will guide stakeholders as they develop distinctive strategies to address the challenges posed by cyberspace and emerging technologies like AI.”
