Dear Delegates,
On behalf of the Executive Board of the World Trade Organization Committee at the Daly College Model United Nations 2024, it is our distinct pleasure to welcome you to what promises to be an intellectually stimulating and solution-oriented conference. We are eager to witness the depth of your critical thinking and the breadth of your debate as we delve into the profound topics on our agenda.
The theme for this year's conference, "Eperantia: Unheard Voices," aligns seamlessly with our agenda—constructing frameworks for Dark Web oversight and ethical AI evolution. These areas, often shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding, embody the essence of "the pursuit of the unknown." Our goal is to bring these critical, yet relatively unexplored, issues to the forefront of international discourse, ensuring that no aspect of their impact on global trade and society remains unheard.
As delegates of the World Trade Organization, you are entrusted with the task of fostering global transparency, optimizing the utilization of emerging technologies, and steering the world towards sustainable development. The oversight of the Dark Web and the ethical evolution of Artificial Intelligence are paramount in achieving these objectives. The Dark Web's opaque nature poses significant challenges to international trade security and regulatory frameworks. Meanwhile, the ethical deployment of AI has the potential to revolutionize industries but requires careful governance to prevent misuse and ensure equitable benefits.
Your discussions and proposed solutions will not only address these pressing issues but will also reflect the WTO's commitment to maintaining fair and secure trade practices in an increasingly digital world. Our committee's focus is on generating pragmatic and forward-thinking resolutions that can guide international policy and regulatory standards.We acknowledge that the topics at hand are complex and, at times, daunting. However, we believe in your capability to rise to the challenge. The study guide provided is merely the starting point for your research. We encourage you to delve deeper, exploring various perspectives and innovative solutions. Our team is here to support you throughout this journey, providing guidance and clarifications as needed.
