What kind of event was this?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. France&#39;s national IGF.

What were the highlights?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Two things: a youth hackathon\/ideathon using AI on societal challenges, and France&#39;s RGESN eco-design standard for digital services \u2014 putting young people and the environment at the heart of governance talk.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why should I care?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Eco-design rules for online services and the question of who speaks for citizens in AI governance are landing in policy debates everywhere. The school-campus, youth-first format is also a transferable idea.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is France IGF?
