In my view, the issue of equitable access to technology must be a central pillar of the Global Dialogue on AI Governance. This means taking into account perspectives not only on use and consumption, but also on development and application, with a view to the holistic development of people and communities.

• Protection and promotion of human rights
• Safe, secure and trustworthy AI
• Social, economic, ethical, cultural, linguistic and technical implications of AI
• Open-source software, open data and open AI models

Safety and reliability are crucial for the safe and responsible use of AI. This means that ethical considerations must be taken into account from the design stage right through to its use.The diversity that is part of the human condition must be incorporated into AI learning models, as it has significant social, economic, ethical, cultural and linguistic implications.The use of AI in promoting human rights must be one of the cornerstones of its development and ethical use. Open-source software, open data and open AI models are key factors in ensuring that AI remains a tool for democratic use, as well as a means of fostering local development and strengthening sovereignty, rather than becoming a tool for the mass surveillance of people.

Yes. The issue of sovereignty. Today, there is a serious risk that AI will be used as a tool for political and economic manipulation, undermining the principle of sovereignty and creating opportunities for interference between nations. Another point is the need for a global framework that ensures human oversight as a guiding principle for all uses of AI.

Lack of support for research and development into open-source AI. Lack of investment in AI as a tool for improving public welfare policies.

The creation of a global framework that emphasises the social use of AI.

I think of the SDGs and milestones aimed at resolving conflicts, collaborative development in the fields of medicine and environmental sustainability.

It is important that people from a variety of fields of expertise (not just those in the technology sector) are consulted, and that different forms of knowledge (such as the knowledge of traditional and indigenous communities) are taken into account; people and institutions operating within different cultural, political, geographical and economic contexts.

• Traditional communities
• indigenous peoples
• civil society organisations working in vulnerable global regions
• older people

• Carry out preliminary decentralised activities
• Set up working groups on different topics, comprising people from various scientific disciplines (exact and human sciences) and with diverse socio-cultural backgrounds

I think that working groups set up to explore the issue of global migration would be an interesting approach; as would local summits bringing together people from different backgrounds to share experiences. Other approaches include local cultural circles (technological circles); spaces for social control groups, etc.; and representative, permanent forums.
