The Artificial Intelligence Action Summit, planned for 10 and 11 February 2025 in Paris, seeks (among other objectives) to forge an international consensus on a common foundation for global AI governance. This collaborative effort aims to construct a unified global architecture that harmonizes existing initiatives and promotes:
- Sustained efforts to establish a robust scientific consensus on AI technologies, their applications, and societal impacts.
- A framework conducive to open solutions and interoperable technical and auditing norms.
- A convergence of AI-specific standards and public policies.
Given that the AI Action Summit’s “Global AI Governance Track” purposely builds upon work conducted within the United Nations, this seventy-five-minute webinar will explore the extent to which the Global Digital Compact – adopted by world leaders at this past September’s Summit of the Future in New York – featured in multipartner discussions on shaping an effective and inclusive framework of international governance for AI.
