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.
