[TechLearnTalk] An Introduction to the metaverse

This session of our TechLearnTalks series explores the metaverse, the opportunities and risks associated with it, and how it can be used for the work of the UN. In this session, we are joined by speakers from the ITU for a non-technical introduction to the metaverse and from UNDP for a discussion of risks, the digital divide and how we can create a safer, more inclusive metaverse. TechLearnTalks, which introduce technologies to a non-technical audience, aim to demystify a range of new technologies, such as blockchain, chatbots and VR, and showcase how they can be leveraged for the work of the UN.
