Alliance of Sport

I think this is an important and timely conversation for the international community to have, esp. at a time when AI has permeated through in all aspects of our lives. AI enhances our ability to access knowledge and productivity to work at the pace unimaginable before in the history of humanity. Yet there exists a digital divide among countries with different stages of development. It is hoped that this dialogue can result in an emerging global consensus to have an international architecture that governs the use of AI, not only in accelerating AI literacy and access thereof, and contributing to the SDGs, but also examine its potential downside ranging from its misuse in war and conflicts to the unclear future global landscape about intellectual development and original creativity for the next generations. And perhaps, most importantly, the partnerships for technology transfer should not be a conversation only among UN Member States, but we need the private sector in the field of AI to be intricately involved, including having their seats at the table to negotiate this new global consensus that will have transpired from this Dialogue.

• AI capacity-building
• Protection and promotion of human rights
• Social, economic, ethical, cultural, linguistic and technical implications of AI
• Safe, secure and trustworthy AI

1. Safe and trustworthy AI is key to ensure the authenticity, accuracy and thoroughness of information. More often than not, AI users use the prompt to ask questions based on real circumstances of their own to get the most accurate answers, but in the process rendering their personal specific information open. It is crucial to address issues of AI safety and cybersecurity to ensure confidentiality and trust in the AI system. 2. As mentioned in my answer to question # 8, many countries require AI capacity-building. And by countries, I don't mean just the capital cities, but the wider local communities and provinces. Capacity-building needs should not be centered around geographical scope, but should also include all generations and age group. 3. I believe AI can be an important to tool in enhancing socio-economic, ethical, cultural, linguistic and technological advancement. Think of the advent of the Internet in the early 1990s. It was the first time that the peoples of world became closer, communicate beyond borders without having to travel and share knowledge and even feelings. All these aspects and possibilities have been exponentially skyrocketed to the level unknown to mankind before. We can benefit from AI to enhance knowledge. But equally crucial is how we promote ethical and responsible use of AI. 4. AI is crucial the promotion and protection of human rights, esp. the right to development. How do we narrow the development gap among nations so as to enhance the human rights to quality education and lifelong learning? How do we promote the human right to environment and the right to health through the use of AI to, for example, (1) track and tackle the transboundary haze pollution so the people can breathe the clean air, (2) provide medical needs to all peoples, including those in hard to reach places. AI can engage the human right to decent work, enabling the people to develop the ability to use AI so as to leap into the threshold where a number of labor-intensive jobs will be lost to AI in the future. Most important of all, AI can have an impact to the civil and political rights both positively (address corruption, enhancing democracy through transparency, promote freedom of expression) and negatively (become an enabling tool for authoritarian regimes to silence dissidents, use as a tool for military and defense purposes, thus accelerating the destruction of human lives and violent deaths, esp. at a time when the world is currently facing major wars on multiple fronts.

I think the above cross-cutting issues cover all. But perhaps on capacity-building, I think an emphasis can be more augmented in aspects of demographic outreach and older populations embracing AI literacy, which should be available and accessible to them without costs.

I would just reiterate my previous answers about the availability and accessibility. Undoubtedly, only a handful of private companies in the world hold the monopoly of AI technology. We need to involve them not only in the dialogue, but also highlight the fact that they have moral and ethical obligations to enable the populations in my country and region to invest in data centers, infrastructures and promote AI literacy. This - equal - if not above the financial profits they have been able to generate since the advent of wider AI use in 2022 and beyond. The point is: there needs to be a serious conversation about public-private-partnership that works tangibly, and just rhetorically.

As I said, there needs to be an international architecture that governs the use of AI, or even an internationally agreed legal framework. Such an international instrument should be designed in such a way that has a provision for updating since AI technology keeps evolving at high speed.

Unfortunately, since I am new to AI, I don't know much about the already existing AI initiatives. The purpose of my attending this Summit is to learn more and enhance my own personal knowledge. The answers I have provided to the preceding questions are based on my own personal experience working in a multilateral diplomacy setting, and managing a regional organization in the past. But if this question addresses "any" initiatives other than AI per se, I would propose that this AI Dialogue connect with the "Southeast Asia Sport and Youth Crime Prevention" (SYCP) Initiative launched by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Agence Francais de Developpement (AFD) in 2025, whereby my organization Alliance of Sport is the Delivery Lead. The added value AI could bring would be to (1) promote the global attention, narrative, advocacy on the use of sport to prevent youth crime, (2) enhance more financial investment and partnerships for sport as an enabler of SDGs, as eloquently articulates by delegates to the Olympism365 Summit held in Lausanne in June 2025, (3) harness AI as a tool to support social inclusion and cohesion among communities and vulnerable populations through sports.
