Networked Governance for Safe and Ethical AI
As the world grapples with how to govern artificial intelligence, the Planetary Politics initiative is contributing to multi-stakeholder processes aimed at ensuring all societies capture the benefits and avert the risks of exponentially developing AI.
Context and Call to Action
In response to a call from the UN High-Level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence, Planetary Politics, in collaboration with partners at the Igarapé Institute and Tech Diplomacy Network, submitted a background paper to inform the body’s interim report.
Key Recommendations
The background paper emphasized the need for global AI governance that prioritizes:
- Inclusion of developing countries
- Facilitation of local AI ecosystems
- Adoption of networked processes to promote geopolitical stability and coordinate governance frameworks
Specific Proposals
Among the paper’s specific recommendations was the creation of a Gavi-like body for AI data, compute, and talent. This proposal aims to establish a framework for effective collaboration and resource sharing, ensuring that AI advancements benefit a wider range of nations.
Impact on Governance Frameworks
Some of these recommendations were incorporated into the interim report, which charts principles and functions for inclusive and effective global AI governance.
For a more detailed understanding, the background paper and the UN interim report are available for review.
