The report and its recommendations will be discussed on December 17th 2024 at the 19th annual IGF meeting in Riyadh and online.

The report outlines the 2024 work conducted by the Policy Network on Artificial Intelligence, highlighting key findings, sharing outcomes, and presenting policy recommendations on four key topics:

  • Liability as a mechanism for supporting AI accountability
  • Environmental sustainability within the Generative AI value chain
  • AI governance, interoperability, and good practices
  • Labour issues throughout AI’s life cycle
     

Global multistakeholder effort on AI 

The Policy Network on Artificial Intelligence (PNAI) addresses policy matters related to the governance of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The primary goal is to foster dialogue, exchange practices and contribute to the global AI policy discourse. PNAI is a global multistakeholder effort hosted by the United Nations Internet Governance Forum, bringing together data governance experts, stakeholders and changemakers from across the world. It provides an open platform to share and develop expertise, insights, and recommendations. 

PNAI is uniquely positioned to provide a global and multidisciplinary view on AI and data governance. The UN Secretary-General's Report Our Common Agenda explicitly calls for the input and advice of the multistakeholder community on addressing advanced technologies, including AI. PNAI shares the community’s expert knowledge and contributes to global AI policymaking dialogues, processes and consultations.

Building on the previous AI discussions

PNAI’s work started in 2023, delivering a report on AI and data governance at the 18th annual IGF meeting in Kyoto. 

PNAI builds upon previous discussions and the wealth of knowledge within the IGF community on issues relevant to AI and at the request of the IGF community. The Messages of the 17t Annual IGF meeting held in Addis Ababa conclude: “IGF could be used as a platform for developing cooperation mechanisms on artificial intelligence. A policy network on artificial intelligence could be considered for the upcoming work streams in order to review the implementation of different principles with appropriate tools and metrics.”
