Launch of the Global Dialogue on AI Governance

A High-level Meeting will officially kick off the Global Dialogue on AI Governance. The Dialogue’s main task – as decided by the UN General Assembly – is to facilitate open, transparent and inclusive discussions on AI governance. The Dialogue focuses on safe, trustworthy AI; bridging capacity and digital divides; social, ethical, and technical implications; interoperability of governance approaches; human rights; transparency and accountability; and open-source AI development.

It will meet annually for up to two days alongside UN conferences in Geneva or New York, featuring high-level government participation, thematic discussions, and an annual report presentation.

Initially, it will be held back-to-back in the margins of the International Telecommunication Union Artificial Intelligence for Good Global Summit in Geneva, in 2026, and of the multistakeholder forum on science, technology and innovation for the SDGs in New York, in 2027.
