UNESCO has announced three projects to improve access to useful and trustworthy information. They mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of its Information for All Programme. One project will support librarians, archivists and museum professionals in West Africa. It focuses on keeping information authentic and traceable, so people can understand where it comes from. This work connects the preservation of knowledge with the challenge of harmful information.
In the Caribbean, another project will explore accessible and ethical artificial intelligence to make conference knowledge easier to use. A third project, led from Santiago, will strengthen education about AI and critical thinking. It will involve teachers, students and education officials. Together, the projects address both access to information and the skills needed to judge it. Their planned activities have not yet demonstrated long-term results.
