A huge thanks to our speakers and participants for a fantastic #GIFCTForum2024! Industry leaders, experts and civil society shared key insights on the latest tech trends to strategies in combating online extremism. 📢 Highlight from Ghayda Hassan: "The bedrock of society is a common agreement on the social contract. Currently, the violent extremism space is fragmenting that bedrock, attacking it at its roots. We should respond as civil society, governments, impacted communities, and tech to pull those fragments back together again. GIFCT is a unique space that will allow this rebuilding by encouraging and supporting stakeholder ownership." Let's keep pushing forward together for a safer digital world! 🚀 Stay tuned for more insights and key takeaways from the forum in the coming weeks! #GIFCTForum2024 #OnlineSafety #GlobalCollab #TechForGood

🏆 Very proud of the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism (GIFCT) and our partners at United Nations CTED for bringing together an insightful #UNGA79 Side Event on Emerging Technologies: Impacts & Implications for International Counterterrorism Efforts. ▷ ▶ Our fireside chat between our ED Naureen Chowdhury Fink, United Nations CTED, The International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law (IIJ), & Microsoft looked at emerging technologies and the implications for counterterrorism policies, frameworks, and practices. ▷ ▶ I was lucky enough to moderate our expert dialogue reviewing the realities of threats and opportunities posed by AI technologies, drones, and hash sharing technologies with Dr. Francis Okpaleke (University of Waikato), Shahed W. (Microsoft AI), David Wells (Middle East Institute) & Michael Jensen (START). ▷ ▶ And UN CTED's Global Research Network panel highlighted research advancements by Hedayah, IEP, and GIFCT's own Skip G..
