(“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading global

that in cooperation with ONUART, UNAOC, OISTE, and WISe.ART will be

The NFT reflects an animated photograph by
Thierry Bouet to illustrate an extract of the lyrical performance
by one of the world's top acclaimed living tenors, Jonas Kaufmann
who was recently appointed ambassador to the UN Alliance of
Civilizations. He performed solo in the "One Humanity
Concert," accompanied by pianist Helmut Deutsch.
"Frontiers? I have never seen one. But I have
heard that they exist in the minds of some people." Thor
Heyerdahl.
Humanity has progressively organized itself,
moving from dispersion and individual struggle for survival since
the emergence of Homo Sapiens, to ever larger and better structured
collective living spaces. Thus, from the small collective spaces of
the tribe, the family, and the village, we have moved on to cities,
regions, states, and the federation of states. Finally, the
previous century saw the birth of the first great planetary
political organizations: the League of Nations in 1920 and the
United Nations Organization in 1945. Now, humanity must continue to
move towards the creation of a global world political space,
underpinned by rules and institutions whose center of gravity is to
liberate the talents of everyone. The north is what we call the
"One Humanity World", where each person acquires a new central
value.
The world is at a major crossroads towards
exponential progress. Advances through the application of
artificial intelligence systems and the dissemination of knowledge
through open communication on a planetary scale, are increasingly
promising. We must work to ensure that the entire development of
artificial intelligence is at the complete service of humanity, and
we must move towards structuring the world politically, overcoming
the divisions between groups, to achieve a global planetary
constitution. States fulfil the great function of organizing
collective life in the different corners of the planet. They are
now called upon to contribute and encourage their citizens to
transcend its limits and to enter the effort to feel, within
valuable diversity, parts of a single whole: Humanity. The world of
"One Humanity" seeks to achieve the creation of this global
political space without fragmentation and based on the empowerment
of each one of its members.
It is essential to set the right goal. The time
of arrival is a secondary variable. Joining wills in this noble
endeavor is essential. We, the people, are the force.
If you share these thoughts, become a member of
the "One Humanity World,” and get your Global Digital ID.
As part of the event, Fundación
Onuart will organize this first global dialogue on the
relationship between Human Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence
for a better management of public affairs, paving the way for new
initiatives of the private sector in favor of a positive global
development driven by innovation and inclusiveness. Artificial
Intelligence in the service of humanity can drive diversity,
respect, and progress for all through innovation. Moving forward
under a strong public-private partnership is essential to this end.
The meeting will serve to deepen, manifest, and visualize this
partnership. Its mission is to enhance the value of art as a
catalyst for dialogue. Through art, the Foundation stimulates
debate at the highest level to inspire tolerance and understanding
between Nations and cultures within all international
organizations, seeking to achieve a more creative and less
conventional approximation to each negotiation and each debate.
UNAOC brings stories of
solidarity and compassion amid the current pandemic from its global
community of alumni and program participants. “As we grapple with
this new reality, we are reminded that we can only overcome this
together as #OneHumanity.”
