聯合國成立數字合作高級別小組 馬雲任主席

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres announced the launch of the High-level Panel on Digital Cooperation, appointing Jack Ma of Alibaba Group and Melinda Gates of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to co-chair it.

日前，聯合國祕書長安東尼奧·古特雷斯宣佈成立數字合作高級別小組，任命阿里巴巴集團董事局主席馬雲和比爾及梅琳達·蓋茨基金會聯合創始人梅琳達·蓋茨爲小組聯合主席。

The scale, spread and speed of change made possible by digital technologies is unprecedented, Guterres said.

古特雷斯表示，數字技術引發了極大的變革，其規模、範圍和速度前所未有。

In addition, he noted digital technologies make a significant contribution to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda.

他還表示，數字技術對於實現2030年可持續發展議程具有重要意義。

Therefore, the UN chief said, cooperation across domains and across borders is critical to realizing the full social and economic potential of digital technologies, as well as mitigating the risks that they pose and curtailing any unintended consequences.

因此，這位聯合國祕書長稱，跨國界跨領域合作對於全面實現數字技術的社會和經濟潛力、減輕數字技術帶來的風險、減少非預期後果至關重要。

"In this digital era, data and technology are more broadly available, enabling entrepreneurialism, economic growth, and improved quality of life for those who have the access and training to leverage it," said Jack Ma.

馬雲表示：“在這個數字時代，人們能夠更廣泛地獲取數據和技術，這使得那些有機會獲得技術並接受過相關培訓、因而能夠利用技術的人可以進行創業，促進經濟增長，提高生活質量。”

"Global, cross-sector collaboration is critical to ensure the benefits of the digital era are possible for all."

“全球的跨部門合作對於確保所有人都能享受數字時代的利益至關重要。”

"If all people, especially the poorest and most vulnerable, have equal access to digital technology, they will use it to improve life for themselves and their families and raise their voices in conversations about what the future holds. Enabling this wide scale empowerment is what this panel is about," said Melinda Gates.

梅琳達·蓋茨稱：“如果所有人，特別是窮人和弱勢羣體，都能平等使用數字技術，那麼這將能幫助他們改善自己和家人的生活，並在談論未來的前景時提高他們的聲音。讓數字技術獲得廣泛使用，就是這個小組的職責所在。”
