GENEVA, July 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — World Youth Forum (WYF), an international nonprofit
advancing challenge-based learning and youth development across more than 30 countries,
today launched the Global AI Talent Compact at the AI for Good Global Summit 2026
in Geneva, where WYF served as an official session partner.

The summit, organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in partnership
with more than 50 UN agencies and co-convened with the Government of Switzerland,
is the United Nations’ leading platform on artificial intelligence.

The Compact establishes an open global action network built on five commitments:
expanding access to AI literacy; defining the human capabilities that matter most
in the AI era; scaling real-world, challenge- and project-based learning; safeguarding
youth well-being; and recognizing ability through evidence of real work, not credentials
alone.

"AI is changing not only how young people learn and create, but how talent is identified
and recognized," said Houston Hou, Global Executive Convener of WYF. "Young people
need pathways through which real ability can be seen, trusted and connected. The
Compact is an open invitation to build those pathways together."

The launch convened leaders from across the UN system, academia and youth innovation,

of Minerva Project. Alongside speakers from AI Singapore (AISG), the ASEAN Foundation,
the International Trade Centre (ITC), the United Nations Research Institute for 
Social Development (UNRISD), the United Nations University (UNU), and student AI
communities including the Imperial AI Group, the Oxford Guild, the University of
Toronto Machine Intelligence Student Team (UTMIST) and the Global AI Alliance at
Penn. The Global SDGs and Leadership Development Center served as supporting partner
of the session.

Following the launch, WYF will convene founding supporters worldwide — universities,
student AI societies, education and innovation organizations, and industry partners—
to advance year-round, challenge-based AI learning, new forms of talent recognition,
and pathways connecting young talent with real-world opportunities.
