Governing Artificial Intelligence for Humanity

2024-2025 Global Spotlight Project

The 2024-2025 Global Spotlight Project “Governing Artificial Intelligence for Humanity” is led by Professor Denise Garcia. This initiative is set to make a profound impact on the future of AI governance, and its findings will be showcased at the prestigious United Nations Summit for the Future.

Project Overview: This project will investigate the transnational alliances, coalitions, and informal groups working to establish ethical and principled governance on Artificial Intelligence (AI) globally. The aim is to contribute to the global regulation of AI, a global public good of the highest priority. This project explores how the widespread use of AI will serve all humanity and harness beneficial applications to lessen the risks posed by the other forces affecting the global order.

Objectives:

  • Investigate and map the various transnational efforts and collaborations aimed at ethical AI governance.
  • Assess how AI can be harnessed as a positive force for humanity, addressing both opportunities and challenges.
  • Influence global regulatory frameworks to promote the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies.

Workshop: On October 23, 2024, Professor Denise Garcia convened a one day workshop titled, “The Future of Global Governance on Artificial Intelligence: Challenges and Processes”. This unique event brought together leading practitioners and scholars in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), such as Professor JP Singh, Professor Ingvild Bode, and Dr. Anna Nadibaidze, to explore how countries are collaborating to manage and regulate this rapidly evolving technology.

As AI becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives, understanding the development and implementation of global policies and strategies is essential. This workshop delved into the complexities of AI governance, examined how international efforts and regulations are being shaped to address the challenges and opportunities presented by these transformative technologies.
