The U.N. General Assembly has formally established two new global bodies to oversee the governance of artificial intelligence, a landmark move aimed at navigating a fractured geopolitical landscape and intense competition among major powers.
Passed by consensus among the 193 member countries on Tuesday, the resolution creates an Independent International Scientific Panel on AI and a Global Dialogue on AI Governance. The initiative is seen by proponents as a crucial win for multilateralism in a field dominated by national interests and the unilateral actions of private tech companies.
