SDGs
Description:
After 20 years from the creation of the Internet Governance Forum, with its foundational commitment to multistakeholder participation, we have gathered invaluable insights on this model. We've witnessed the model's strength in fostering inclusive dialogue, where diverse voices contribute concerns and identify opportunities. However, the governance of digital technologies now confronts unprecedented challenges, with the fast pace of innovation. The Global Digital Compact's call for a multistakeholder Global Dialogue on Artificial Intelligence Governance underscores the urgency of this evolution. To navigate this new challenge successfully, we must examine the lessons learned from two decades of internet governance, while discerning the unique characteristics of AI governance that need new approaches. This session will examine the critical lessons learned from 20 years of multistakeholder engagement in internet governance. We will draw clear distinctions between the requirements for effective internet governance and those needed by AI governance, laying the groundwork for a robust, human rights-centered multistakeholder model for AI. Furthermore, we will explore the optimal structure for the Global Dialogue on AI Governance, ensuring it leverages past successful experiences. We will also address the need for the Global Dialogue on AI Governance to maintain its independence from the conference it will be hosted alongside, preventing redundancy and ensuring the realization of its core objectives.
