NEW YORK, USA – The United Nations Secretary-General’s High-level Advisory Body on AI’s Final Report, “Governing AI for Humanity,” builds on months of work, including extensive global consultations, and the publication of an interim report in December 2023.
Proposals for Global Governance on AI
This report outlines a blueprint for addressing AI-related risks and sharing its transformative potential globally, including by:
- Urging the UN to lay the foundations of the first globally inclusive and distributed architecture for AI governance based on international cooperation;
- Proposing seven recommendations to address gaps in current AI governance arrangements;
- Calling on all governments and stakeholders to work together in governing AI to foster development and protection of all human rights.
This includes light institutional mechanisms to complement existing efforts and foster inclusive global AI governance arrangements that are agile, adaptive and effective to keep pace with AI’s evolution.
