What:
The United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), in collaboration with the Onuart Foundation will convene a Second Global Dialogue on Artificial Intelligence (AI) entitled “Towards the World of #OneHumanity”. The event will bring together diverse perspectives and expertise from around the world to debate and exchange views on the development of responsible, ethical, and equitable AI that is rooted in transparency and accountability.
Why:
The multi-stakeholder dialogue will explore how recent rapid breakthroughs in AI-powered technologies can be leveraged to advance global governance, foster mutual respect, and promote inclusive development. The impact of AI on global peace and security will be examined, including its potential to spread disinformation, restrict freedoms, reinforce biases and structural racism, and/or infringe on basic human rights. The Global Dialogue also will serve to deepen, amplify, and strengthen ongoing collaboration between the public and private sectors that aims to steer AI technology towards building a better world.
