UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres welcomed the establishment of two new institutions by the General Assembly to enhance international cooperation on artificial intelligence governance. The initiatives include the UN Independent International Scientific Panel on AI and the Global Dialogue on AI Governance, aimed at leveraging AI’s benefits while addressing its risks.

The article emphasizes that while AI is rapidly transforming healthcare, it must be implemented responsibly and with a focus on human needs, rather than merely adopting new technologies. It argues for the necessity of frameworks like HITRUST’s AI Assurance Program to ensure accountability and ethical standards in AI deployment within patient care settings.
The EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act aims to establish a global standard for AI regulation, potentially reflecting the ‘Brussels effect.’ However, the paper argues that its procedural and experimentalist approach may lead to a more cooperative regulatory landscape rather than a dominant framework for AI governance worldwide.
AI pilots cannot scale without trust, as hallucinations present a significant vulnerability in even the most advanced models. To address this, a six-layer trust framework is proposed, incorporating measures for discovery, provenance, verification, and more, ensuring responsible AI can be safely scaled.
As AI technology continues to evolve, its governance is becoming increasingly critical, especially as it intersects with human rights. The current regulatory landscape is inadequate, with state interests often overshadowing collective human needs and universal rights.
