During the "World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development" event at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, representatives from the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Sierra Leone to the United Nations and the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, alongside members of the Organization for the Promotion of World Cultural Diversity, gathered to discuss the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and art.

In his address, Sierra Leone’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Kamara, emphasized that "Technological development should serve as a bridge to connect different cultures and promote mutual understanding, rather than creating division and inequality.

The event featured a panel discussion on the transformative impact of AI on the creative industries, with participants including Annetta Georgia, a professor from Parsons School of Design, and Jimmy Woo, among others.
