Empowering Ethical AI
Our Mission
Artificial intelligence (AI) is not just changing our world—it is redefining what’s possible for humanity. This powerful suite of technologies holds the promise to unlock breakthroughs in science, revolutionize energy systems, elevate public health, transform agriculture, and accelerate our collective progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The opportunities before us are vast and inspiring.
But if we fail to act, these opportunities could slip through our fingers—or worse, become tools for deepening inequality. Without strong, inclusive governance, the benefits of AI risk being hoarded by a privileged few—certain nations, corporations, and individuals—while the rest of the world is left behind. The digital divide could widen, trust could erode, and the absence of robust frameworks could stifle innovation and collaboration.
The dangers are real and urgent. AI systems can perpetuate bias, enable invasive surveillance, and spread disinformation at unprecedented speed and scale. The confabulations of large language models, the energy demands of AI during a climate crisis, and the rise of autonomous weapons all pose profound threats to peace, security, and human rights. Our current patchwork of global norms and institutions is woefully inadequate—accountability is too often missing, and voluntary compliance is no substitute for real oversight.
Now is the moment to demand responsible AI governance. We must act decisively to close the global governance gap, to foster trust, and to ensure that the promise of AI is shared by all—not just the powerful. The future of AI must be built on transparency, accountability, and a commitment to leave no one behind. The choices we make today will shape the world of tomorrow. Let’s seize this moment—together—to build an AI-powered future that uplifts everyone.
The need for global governance
The need for global governance in the age of AI is undeniable and urgent. The very building blocks of artificial intelligence—critical minerals, vast troves of data, and the algorithms that shape our future—are sourced and shared across continents. General-purpose AI knows no borders.
