The inaugural Global AI Governance Dialogue opened in Geneva on July 6, drawing about 1,500 delegates for a two-day forum on international AI governance. UN Secretary-General Guterres said AI is advancing at a staggering pace and urged collective steering rather than being led by the technology. The event, the first to give every country a voice, aims to convert broad participation into coordinated action to make AI safer, fairer, more accessible and ethically aligned. Agenda priorities include AI’s opportunities and impacts, capacity building and the AI divide, safe and trustworthy AI, and human rights and human oversight.
