High-Level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence

The Global AI Imperative

Globally coordinated AI governance is the only way to harness AI for humanity while addressing its risks and uncertainties as AI-related services, algorithms, computing capacity and expertise become more widespread internationally.

The UN's Response

To foster a globally inclusive approach, the UN Secretary-General is convening a multi-stakeholder High-level Advisory Body on AI to undertake analysis and advance recommendations for the international governance of AI.

Calling for Interdisciplinary Expertise

Bringing together up to 32 experts in relevant disciplines from around the world, the Body will offer diverse perspectives and options on how AI can be governed for the common good, aligning internationally interoperable governance with human rights and the Sustainable Development Goals.

A Multistakeholder, Networked Approach

The Body, which will comprise experts from government, private sector and civil society, will engage and consult widely with existing and emerging initiatives and international organizations to bridge perspectives across stakeholder groups and networks.

Supporting the Body

The UN is calling for support to the Body’s operations and the secretariat based in the Office of the Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology (OSET). Through their support, contributors will strengthen stakeholder cooperation on governing AI in the face of pressing technical breakthroughs, and thereby contribute to better-governed AI globally.
