UN Convenes Global Dialogue on AI Governance
Delegates will review a 40-expert UN scientific panel report as governments, companies and civil society weigh rules for AI safety and access.
- On Monday, July 6, 2026, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres opened the two-day inaugural Global Dialogue on AI Governance in Geneva, warning that artificial intelligence is evolving faster than global institutions can manage.
- Guterres told delegates that while the internet took 15 years to reach a billion people, AI achieved that milestone in just two, creating machines that make decisions with minimal human oversight.
- Advocating for an AI Child Safety Pledge, Guterres argued companies must prove systems are safe before release, noting machines have steered minors toward self-harm and deceptive interactions posing as friends.
- Delegates are reviewing findings from a UN-backed independent scientific panel of 40 experts, which revealed that one leading nation accounts for 75% of computing power among top supercomputers, while China holds 15%.
- Although this dialogue does not aim to forge a treaty, a more comprehensive report is planned next year, alongside a second global meeting in New York to address equitable AI growth.
