Nearly every government on Earth has arrived in Geneva for the inaugural United Nations Global Dialogue on AI Governance, where the central question is who should govern artificial intelligence and who gets to decide. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres stated: “AI is advancing at runaway speed. The question is whether we will govern it together—or let it govern us. For the first time, the AI Dialogue gives every country a seat at the table. We must now turn global participation into global action—to make AI safer, fairer, more accessible and more ethical.” The attendee list includes Joy Buolamwini, Rita Orji, Cathy Li, Brad Smith, Bosun Tijani, Philip Thigo, and Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka. The Dialogue comes one week after the launch of the preliminary report from the Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence, a 40-member body of independent scientists selected from more than 2,600 global applicants, co-chaired by Yoshua Bengio and Maria Ressa.
