This morning, the Minister @MusoniPaula participated in the UN High-Level Roundtable on AI and Human Civilization.
In her intervention, she reaffirmed Rwanda's vision for a human-centered AI future, emphasizing that the true measure of AI will not be the intelligence of our machines, but whether they strengthen human dignity, expand opportunity, reinforce public trust, and ensure that no country, no language, and no community is left behind.
Through responsible AI governance, investment in human capabilities, and practical AI solutions that improve lives, Rwanda is demonstrating how AI can serve humanity, not the other way around.
