There is no more closely watched diplomatic gathering in the world than the United Nations General Assembly’s high-level week—and it is also one of the most closely guarded.

On the sidelines of the 80th UN General Assembly world leaders held a high-level multi-stakeholder informal meeting to launch the Global Dialogue on Artificial Intelligence Governance, with the UN chief calling it “multilateralism at its best.”
Secretary-General António Guterres told delegates the launch marked a turning point. “In just twelve months, we have moved from principles to practice,” he said. “For the first time, every country will have a seat at the table of AI. This Global Dialogue will take into account AI’s implications in all its dimensions – social and economic, ethical and technical, cultural and linguistic.”
Guterres also announced the creation of an International Independent Scientific Panel on AI to put “science at the centre of our efforts,” with an open call for experts from all regions and disciplines.
He also said his report on financing options outlined “practical pathways to narrow the AI divide – in computing power, data, research, education, training and safety standards.” Plans include consultations on establishing a Global Fund for AI Capacity Development.
“When nations gathered in San Francisco in 1945 they gave the world more than a treaty. They gave us a compass, a North Star, guiding our way through the unknown and the storms,” said Annalena Baerbock, President of the 80th General Assembly. She hailed last year’s Pact for the Future and its Global Digital Compact as “the world’s first common agreement on how artificial intelligence should be governed – historic milestone.”
Baerbock said experts believe AI could help achieve nearly 80 percent of the Sustainable Development Goals but warned of risks. “AI’s enormous appetite for energy, unless met with clean power, could worsen the climate crisis instead of helping to solve it. Ethics, fairness and sustainability must feel at the heart of this revolution,” she said.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said AI had become “an invisible network that increasingly permeates all aspects of our daily lives,” already driving innovation, economic productivity, and efficiency in services used by billions.
Costa Rican Foreign Minister Arnoldo André Tinoco described the launch of the Dialogue and Scientific Panel as “the beginning of a new era,” stressing that “regardless of their size or level of development, every Member State will take part in the most important conversation of our time.”
