A successful dialogue should produce clear, practical outcomes such as shared global principles for responsible AI, stronger international cooperation, and a roadmap for future collaboration. It should also promote capacity-building to reduce global inequalities and ensure commitments to transparency, accountability, and human rights. Most importantly, it should lead to concrete follow-up actions, not just discussion.

• Safe, secure and trustworthy AI
• AI capacity-building
• Transparency, accountability, and human oversight
• Protection and promotion of human rights

These priorities ensure AI is both responsible and inclusive. Safety and trust are essential to reduce risks. Capacity-building helps countries and organizations participate equally. Transparency and accountability build public trust, while human rights ensure fairness, privacy, and ethical use of AI.

Key emerging issues include the environmental impact of AI, concentration of power among a few companies, risks from generative AI such as misinformation, and the impact of AI on jobs. These require global cooperation and long-term policy attention.

Governance gaps in AI are creating challenges such as unclear regulations, limited accountability, and uneven adoption across sectors. In many regions, including developing and emerging economies, there is a lack of clear standards for safe and trustworthy AI, which can increase risks related to bias, privacy, and misuse. Limited capacity and skills also slow down effective implementation, making it harder for organizations to fully benefit from AI technologies. At the same time, rapid AI advancements are outpacing existing policies, leading to uncertainty for businesses and institutions. These gaps highlight the need for stronger governance frameworks, better coordination across countries, and increased investment in capacity-building to ensure AI is used responsibly, fairly, and inclusively.

The AI Dialogue can play a key role in advancing international cooperation by providing a neutral and inclusive platform for governments, industry, academia, and civil society to align on shared principles and priorities. It can help reduce fragmentation in AI governance by encouraging coordination between national and regional approaches.

The AI Dialogue should build upon existing international initiatives such as those led by the United Nations, OECD, and UNESCO, as well as multi-stakeholder partnerships and regional frameworks on AI governance. By connecting these efforts, the Dialogue can reduce duplication and promote greater alignment across different standards and policies. Its added value lies in its inclusiveness and global reach, bringing together diverse perspectives, especially from underrepresented regions.

Different stakeholders can contribute by sharing expertise, real-world experiences, and policy perspectives. Governments can provide regulatory insights, the private sector can share technical knowledge, and academia and civil society can highlight ethical and social impacts.

nderrepresented groups include developing countries, small and medium enterprises, non-technical communities, and marginalized populations. Their perspectives are often missing due to limited access, resources, or representation.

Innovative formats could include interactive workshops, live polls, breakout discussions, and scenario-based exercises. Hybrid participation (online and in-person) can increase accessibility

these policies and practices demonstrate how combining regulation, ethical principles, technical tools, and collaboration can address AI challenges in a balanced and effective way.
