The UN Secretary-General’s High-level Advisory Body on AI, 39 members from 33 countries, published its final report “Governing AI for Humanity” on 19 September 2024. It makes seven recommendations: an international scientific panel on AI, a UN policy dialogue on AI governance, an AI standards exchange, a capacity development network, a global AI fund, a global AI data framework and a small AI office in the UN Secretariat. It found 118 member states were party to none of seven prominent AI governance initiatives it reviewed.

Why it matters

Governments negotiating the Global Digital Compact three days later had a worked proposal for UN AI bodies, and the scientific panel and dialogue were taken up.
