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

Discussions on Data Democratization Impacts of Data Exchange especially cross border data interchange Impacts of Generative Ai and LLMs of critical areas especially healthcare innovation

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?

  • Safe, secure and trustworthy AI
  • AI capacity-building
  • Transparency, accountability, and human oversight
  • Social, economic, ethical, cultural, linguistic and technical implications of AI

Please briefly explain your selection.

The selected priorities reflect a focus on deploying trustworthy and impactful AI systems, particularly in high-stakes domains such as healthcare. Emphasising safe, secure and trustworthy AI ensures that models operate reliably under real-world conditions, while transparency, accountability and human oversight address the need for interpretable and auditable decision-making, especially in clinical contexts. The inclusion of AI capacity-building highlights the importance of strengthening technical expertise and infrastructure in emerging regions, enabling equitable participation in AI development and deployment. Furthermore, considering the social, economic, ethical, cultural, linguistic and technical implications of AI ensures that solutions are context-aware, inclusive and aligned with societal needs. Collectively, these priorities support the development of AI systems that are not only technically robust but also ethically grounded, explainable, and scalable across diverse environments, facilitating responsible innovation and meaningful real-world impact.

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.

Governance gaps in the selected thematic areas are significantly influencing AI deployment in healthcare across emerging regions. In safe, secure and trustworthy AI, there is limited regulatory clarity on validation standards, increasing the risk of deploying models that may not generalise well across diverse populations. This challenge presents an opportunity to develop locally relevant validation frameworks and strengthen model robustness. In terms of transparency, accountability and human oversight, many AI systems remain insufficiently interpretable, reducing clinician trust and slowing adoption. However, advances in explainable AI create opportunities to integrate interpretable decision-support tools that enhance accountability and usability in clinical workflows. AI capacity-building remains constrained by limited technical expertise, infrastructure, and access to computational resources. Despite this, growing investments in digital health and AI education offer an opportunity to build sustainable local capacity and innovation ecosystems. Finally, the social, economic, ethical and linguistic implications highlight challenges in inclusivity, data representation, and cultural alignment. Many AI systems lack contextual adaptation. This creates opportunities to design multilingual, context-aware AI solutions that are more equitable and aligned with local needs.
