Today, on the European Day for Solidarity Between Generations, we are reminded of those generations that don't yet have a seat at the table.
We joined together in a series of powerful moments:
➡️Opening of the UN exhibition “Good ancestors” on future generations at the European Commission.
➡️ Dialogue at the European Parliament on how to build a fairer, more inclusive Europe.
➡️ A high-level exchange with The Elders, bridging global wisdom with local action.
➡️ A visit to CALICO, a co-housing project bringing generations together under one roof.
Now we’re working on the first-ever EU Strategy on Intergenerational Fairness.
🗣️ Your voice matters! Tell us what intergenerational fairness means to you via the Citizens’ Engagement Platform:

Moment #1. The Good Ancestor exhibition: I began by opening an exhibition on future generations — a powerful reminder of our duty to be good ancestors.🇪🇺
Through art and culture, we are called to imagine and build a world that is fairer, more sustainable, and more inclusive for those who will come after us.

If people ever ask me 'why write a book', my first answer is because of the opportunity to visit fascinating projects like this: the Time Pyramid in Germany, which I reported on over the weekend for the @nytimes. It won't be finished until the year 3183AD! nytimes.com/2023/09/14/arts/…

Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority.
And Europe should lead the way, building a new global AI framework built on three pillars: guardrails, governance and guiding innovation ↓

“Would you intend to do anything for the advancement of science?”
“No, I believe scientific progress is too fast as it is.”
“I share your feeling about this point, but then why not do something about the retardation of scientific progress?”
