Description
Discussions on AI governance progresses in multilateral frameworks such as the two UN Resolution on AI, the Global Digital Compact, and G7, G20, OECD and AI Action Summit. Yoichi Iida, who chaired the Working Group of Hiroshima AI Process, which is a major initiative on governance of advanced AI systems, will lead the panel discussion on the progresses of AI governance discussions with multi-stakeholder speakers. In the Hiroshima AI Process, the “Reporting Framework” was launched in February 2025 to ensure the effectiveness of the International Code of Conduct, and multi-stakeholder engagement will become even more important. To contribute to the follow-up to the GDC process, the panel will also discuss some specific measures to promote global AI governance.

SDGs
1. No Poverty
8. Decent Work and Economic Growth
9. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
10. Reduced Inequalities
17. Partnerships for the Goals
Targets: While AI has the potential to dramatically improve productivity and transform our society, it may be also raising issues such as increased discrimination based on data bias and high energy consumption. Appropriate AI governance is essential for the realization of opportunities brought by AI technologies, and it is also expected that appropriate AI governance will contribute to the improvement of poverty and inequality (SDGs 1,10), the promotion of inclusive economic growth and innovation (SDGs 8,9), and the realization of sustainable development (SDGs17).
