Rwandan President Paul Kagame, Salesforce Chair and CEO Marc Benioff, and International Telecommunication Union ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin have announced the launch of the AI for Good Global Commission, a multi-stakeholder initiative aimed at advancing the responsible development and deployment of artificial intelligence worldwide.
The Commission brings together more than 40 founding members, including heads of state and government, chief executives, senior technology leaders and heads of United Nations agencies. The initiative is designed to identify practical approaches to strengthening trust in AI, expanding access to the technology and accelerating its use to address real-world challenges while ensuring developing countries play an active role in shaping the global AI agenda.
The Commission seeks to bridge the gap between technology developers, policymakers, businesses and communities to foster responsible AI solutions across industries and borders. Organizers said the body occupies a unique position in the global AI landscape by bringing together stakeholders responsible for building, deploying and governing AI technologies.
