UNGA resolution calls for AI safety and oversight

This milestone signals the beginning of a collective journey to ensure that artificial intelligence is governed in a way that is inclusive, ethical, and globally coordinated. But success will depend on participation. It is now the responsibility of all Member States to engage, contribute, and bring diverse perspectives to the table. AI is shaping our economies, societies, and institutions. No region, no community, and no voice should be left out. This is the moment for all hands on deck. Together, we must govern this technology wisely so that it truly serves humanity

As we navigate this AI revolution, having frameworks that prioritize human benefit over pure technological advancement feels more critical than ever.

The UN General Assembly established two new institutions to promote international cooperation on AI: a Global Dialogue on AI Governance and an Independent Scientific Panel on AI. 👇🏼

I’m pleased to see the United Nations taking a historic step forward in shaping global AI governance. This is a topic close to my heart.

The United Nations General Assembly has taken a monumental step by formally establishing two critical new bodies to guide the future of artificial intelligence: the Global Dialogue on AI Governance and an Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence. This landmark move signals a global commitment to ensuring AI development is safe, secure, and truly serves the benefit of all humanity. Here's why this is a game-changer, especially for the Global South and countries like Kenya: 1. Inclusive Representation: The Scientific Panel will have 40 members selected for their outstanding expertise with a focus on geographical and gender balance, including co-chairs from both developed and developing countries. This ensures a broad representation of varying levels of technological development, giving African nations and others a critical seat at the table from the outset. 2. Bridging the Divide: The Global Dialogue will serve as an open, transparent platform for governments and stakeholders to discuss how to close the AI and digital divides within and between countries. It specifically addresses capacity gaps and aims to build skills in high-performance computing and related areas for developing nations. 3. Capacity Building: The resolution explicitly stresses that the work of these new institutions will inform and improve AI capacity-building efforts. This includes tailored assistance from UN entities to help countries leverage the opportunities of AI. By prioritizing these factors, the UN is fostering a future where AI is not just a technology for a few, but a tool for sustainable development guided by our collective lived experiences to work for the good of all. #AIGovernance #UnitedNations #GlobalSouth #AIforGood #SustainableDevelopment #CyberSecurityLawyer

Yesterday the UN General Assembly took a significant step forward in global AI governance by establishing the: 1. UN Independent International Scientific Panel on AI, which will bridge the gap between AI research and policy making by providing independent scientific assessments; and 2. Global Dialogue on AI Governance, which will serve as a platform for international cooperation on harnessing the benefits of AI while addressing its risks.

Global cooperation on AI governance is overdue. The UN’s announcement is an encouraging step. But the real test will be whether these mechanisms can keep pace with AI innovation cycles. Financial services is already grappling with: • Data risk • Sovereignty requirements • Compliance under APRA and ASIC The challenge ahead will be bridging international principles with local obligations. That alignment will determine whether this initiative gains traction. #AI #Governance #RiskManagement

The United Nations 🇺🇳 is engaging in #AIGovernance. This is quite important to support countries towards the development of #ResponsibleAI.

This UN consensus establishes a crucial global framework for AI governance: First, it anchors the development and use of AI in the protection of human rights. The resolution mandates that the same rights people have offline must also be protected online throughout the entire life cycle of AI systems. Second, it champions AI as a tool for accelerating progress on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), highlighting its potential in areas like healthcare, disaster management, and public services. Critically, the resolution addresses the global digital divide. It calls for international cooperation to refrain from actions that prevent developing countries from accessing AI and to support their capacity building, ensuring an equitable future for one and all. #AI #EthicalAI #UN #ArtificialIntelligence #GlobalGovernance #TechPolicy
