In your opinion, what outcomes would make the first Global Dialogue on AI Governance a success?

- Have a conversation that leads to a plan on how to inform the public of how advanced AI has already become. - Discuss the ontological shock that can occur when technology moves so fast that people get confused about reality. Consider how to message this type of understanding to a confused public. Please consider discussing what ontological shock means so that a citizen may see the individual is not at fault for being fearful/paranoid about mass disinformation or automated targeting. - Consider and discuss further public consult on the difference between "AI induced psychosis", and massive technological changes, whose psychological effects have and cannot currently be studied due to the pacing issue.

From your perspective, which of the following thematic areas identified by the General Assembly Resolution 79/325 for the AI Dialogue reflect your priorities for urgent action and active engagement?

  • Social, economic, ethical, cultural, linguistic and technical implications of AI
  • Protection and promotion of human rights
  • Transparency, accountability, and human oversight

Please briefly explain your selection.

While I feel the best way for areas that are not already dependent on technology created by multinationals it to build their own open-source software, open data and open AI models; I believe that large portions of the worlds population will need the tools of transparency and human oversight to be immediately put into place, or as soon as possible to prevent a devastating divide.

In your opinion, are there any cross-cutting or emerging issues not captured by the listed themes above? If so, please explain.

I believe there is a current crisis that we are sleepwalking through. It is not possible to predict whether incredibly advanced AI can be aligned to our needs and very large companies/governments didn't take a pause to stop it. Governments and decision makers need to treat this as an immediate threat, rather than an unfolding scenario. Please treat it as if it is another virus that is already spreading. People need to know that unexplainable things they are seeing (inexplicable digital anomalies) are not a delusion, but an incredibly advanced technology that affects how we perceive reality. That may have to be framed in very delicate ways, as to not cause panic. To ground people there needs to be that acknowledgement, and ways for people to meet in person to verify facts. And plans for if travel is not possible.

How are the governance gaps and related developments/advances in the thematic areas you selected above affecting your country, region, or sector? Please highlight the most significant challenges.

- The inability to determine whether a news story is fake news due to browser hijacking and narrow AI. - AI that is so advanced that when it targets people it can be used as a weapon of psychological harm (eerily timed technical failures in sychronicity with important events, predictive algorithms used to assess your mood and target you in a moment of distress to shift your decision). - The ability of AI to be programmed to control populations in an undetected way. - Opportunity, be transparent in a very delicate way with the public to prevent further population destabilization and distrust.

What role can the AI Dialogue play in advancing international cooperation on AI governance?

#NAME?

What are some of the existing initiatives, partnerships, or mechanisms that the AI Dialogue should build upon or connect with, and what added value could the AI Dialogue bring?

I'm not sure who the existing AI Dialogue partners are. I think in all areas of governing and building, more citizen voices are needed in the discussions. Thank you for putting this survey out as part of that. I fear that some surveys may not make it to you though. Putting together free, local forums where people can fill out paper surveys and talk to representatives is important.

How can different stakeholders contribute to the AI Dialogue? Please share recommendations for the format and structure of the AI Dialogue.

This is a good start, surveys. Hold public forums across the world on the same day. Have local representatives explain key trajectories and plans. Have the public submit both paper and digital surveys and have the chance to participate in the discussions.

Which voices, communities, or perspectives are currently underrepresented in global discussions on AI governance? How could they be included?

- Victims/survivors of automated digital harassment and crime are being silenced, sometimes without knowing it, on a global scale, which hides the enormity of the issue (set up by a perpetrator and then bots follow people around online harassing them). - In person events, where interaction does not rely on digital contributions. - Believing victims of automated targeting and harassment. Checking their evidence.

What innovative engagement formats could most effectively foster meaningful and dynamic engagement during the AI Dialogue?

- Anonymous paper forms that allow people to note whether they are noticing anomalous digital events - Showing examples of anomalous digital events such as a phone showing you advertising on something you discussed privately. Or for example something even more bizarre like an article popping up on social media that contains a quote of something you literally just said out loud about how when you were 10 years old. "When I was ten years old I painted a picture of a tree in our backyard. My mom still has that painting on her fridge". When you open the article the website goes down.

Please share examples of policies, practices, platforms, or approaches that promote effective AI governance or offer concrete solutions to addressing its challenges.

- Banning social media and AI chatbots for people under 17 years old, until laws are in place to protect them. - Having repeat warnings pop up on AI sites to remind users how long they have been speaking with the AI and that they will be cut off after 3 hours for 30 minutes. - Warning labels on any neuro-devices that could gather neuro data. - Safety organizations, that are not affiliated with private companies, that support anyone who has had implanted medical devices that are connected to AI. - Banning the storage of euro-data without consistent opt-ins from the user, and the right to have that information deleted. Heavy penalties for any companies, persons, or governments that violate this. - Testing sites for nano materials in the blood stream and bone marrow. Protocol for what to do if a person finds they have specific types of materials in the brain, blood, or bone marrow. (Neural dust).
