Responses

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

If the dialogue invites and sense makes through a transdisciplinary lens. Mapping the governance purview across multi-sectoral realities and requirements to achieve population, operational and civilizational thrivability while keeping AI as a tool for evolution and not be consumed by it instead.

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
  • Transparency, accountability, and human oversight
  • AI capacity-building
  • Interoperability of governance approaches

Please briefly explain your selection.

Citing a study by Stanford and UC Berkeley. The researchers discovered that Chat gpt's math accuracy fell from 97.6% to 2.4% in June 2023. It is now beyond speculation that Ai is sense making of what we humans are uploading from our collective histories, impacted wisdom and the receding understanding of our life location, both in the universe and time. The frameworks we need for AI interestingly can be brought in sight through the lens of mainstreaming social technologies which serve as binders of social cohesion and help us deliver on the promise of intellectual, cultural & performance cohesion. The present-day lack of such a mechanism of social engagement and our comfort to gamble with life nurturing values are deeply misaligned with the unfailing Laws of Nature & sacred creation. All our institutions of industry, governance, healthcare, finance, education, family systems, human to national security, the ecosystem of us, are therefore under cyber, physical & mental threat creating a global high-tension loop challenged by the problem of intention. We are at a juncture where we need to broad range our understanding awareness and acceptance of sentience. The spiral out from a single celled organism was, is and will always be an extension of the preceding link in the chain of that continuity. If we do not repurpose and justify our birthing to this idea of being in service as a link in the chain of continuity, we can never exercise discernment and therefore AI will be weaponized like every other discovery of tools and trades since the cave era on earth to now in outer space. I therefore request this forum to expand the policy, governance and advocacy purview to build transdisciplinary direction for human thinking towards the philosophy, biology and cosmology of life, existence and begin deciphering & articulating the deeper systemic function of the Anthropocene within the domain of Nature thus promoting a respectful culture of human thrivability. Our regulatory & operational frameworks will emerge from our renewed understanding of our construct as life.

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

None. Thanks

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.

As the Country chair in India for Ecocivilization, a network present in 52 countries, I speak as someone who has always observed the impact of neglect towards children, animals, vulnerability & life in general and in 2014 developed a multistakeholder system of nurturing adolescents called, BE WELL - which is both a wish upon the next generation and stands for Behaviour & Well framework, through which I have worked on Riot de-victimization, prison reforms, deradicalization of youth caught in terrorism, suicide prevention and more. As a UN representative I have written and consulted for many UN agencies and events such as the High-Level Political forum, and The Pact for the future where I ensured the inclusion of mitigation of Transnational organized crime in financial flows & cyber security as action item 24. My pivot now is towards green energy ecosystems which is demanded by the growing AI infra. If we want energy transition, which we do, we need to free waste, water and natural resources from local & transnational organized crime. In India, while we are resilient country, our pop value systems and institutional operations are proving insufficient which is true for almost all of the world today. Our rise in the AI and technology space is not new considering that in the last 20 years almost 60% of global data processing has been delivered by India, it has given rise to attraction towards short term gains than social legacy building thus propagating a purely transactional and increasingly less humanistic culture of engagement, which is how we react to growing technologies. Our poorest region in the country has also been the highest in cyber crime owning to financial, familial and values based vulnerabilities.

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

The dialogue must establish itself as an ongoing exchange center which drives & guides impactful narratives, lays down audit protocols and offers vulnerability mitigation/course correction through multi disciplinary and cross sectoral solution mixes. The Dialogue should also emerge in delivering a first of its kind Human Constitution which helps us re-visit our purpose and function as a specie without boundaries since AI is boundary agnostic.

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?

Following is an introduction to a multi modal nurturing framework that I have developed particularly to infuse a system which works beyond neglect. I invite you to view the document titled BE WELL - An Overview for YOU - https://drive.google.com/file/d/16fsYj5BRp-F-7g6Ce-0g9eKtKFX3MA4E/view?usp=sharing

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

Across 12 Domains making the input, deliberation and pathway crafting multi-sectoral and multidisciplinary: 1. Biospheric - Ecology, Agriculture, Climate Management 2.Technological - Engineering, Computing, AI, Robotics 3. Economic - Trade, Finance, Production, Consumption 4. Political - Governance, Law, Diplomacy, Security 5. Cultural - Language, Art, Heritage, Media 6. Social - Family, Community, Demography, Social Work 7. Educational - Schools, University Research, Innovation, Training 8. Health - Medicine, Public Health, Wellness, Psychology, Indigenous Practices 9. Infrastructure - Transport, Energy, Housing, Water 10. Environmental - Conservation, Resource Management, Industry alignment 11. Spiritual - Religion, Ethics, Consciousness Studies 12. Informational - Data, Communication, Cybernetics

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

Perspectives : Social Technologies or Laws of Nature that build social cohesion as an equally significant other of Deep Technology. For now the only adaptation is for narrative and algorithmic manipulation and mass misguidance. A weaving between the 2 should be aimed at long term stabilization of the human core and our institutional design. Moving away from the old world military industrial complex to a socio-industrial exchange. A dedicated working group within the AI Dialogue should be invested in gathering such insights and conceptualize a pathway to social mobility achieved through industry rebalancing mitigating the need for weaponization, degradation into submission of national sovereignty and denigration of individual human dignity, Such a culture may guide the AI governance models

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

https://kamooni.org/explore . A first of its kind co-creation platform for change makers worldwide. Maximizing local to global outreach, partnerships & impact. the platform is currently in the beta phase, however if upon your review, you find it has potential for housing the AI Dialogue global participants, working groups and offers a collaborative showcase of people strengths & outcomes, I personally invite your Teams from UNESCO, ITU & other UN agencies to review Kamooni and help the platform pivot to its purpose. I can facilitate an interaction to explore possibilities for Kamooni to be extended for the cause here.

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