Qatar National Library (QNL) announced that it will choose 'artificial intelligence' as the main theme for its Libraries Lead forum 2024.
The selection of artificial intelligence for the next annual forum came during the conclusion of the QNL's Libraries Lead 2023, held under the theme GLAMs and Cultural Diplomacy (GLAMs refers to galleries, libraries, archives and museums).
Speaking to Qatar News Agency (QNA), HE Minister of State and President of QNL Dr Hamad bin Abdulaziz al-Kuwari said choosing the topic of cultural diplomacy as a title for this year's forum comes from the fact that culture in all its complex and multiple dimensions and aspects bring people and nations closer together, and that official and unofficial cultural institutions in any country have an indispensable role in drawing the features of the cultural identity of this country. They play the role of ambassadors for communication, love and acquaintance among the people of the world.
His Excellency added that culture is synonymous with moral and social responsibility in internal, external, national and international policies, highlighting that the gateway to achieving the concept of safe coexistence based on peace comes only through culture.
The firm belief proven by the cultural history of human relations is that the various aspects of culture is the easiest way to bring people and nations together, he said. (QNA)
