Broadening Participation in AI Governance
The United Nations University is promoting wider participation in AI governance, signaling a push to include more voices in the international conversations shaping how AI is developed and regulated.
Why this matters: AI rules are being written now, and the people writing them tend to look the same. They come from a handful of wealthy countries and large institutions. Broader participation matters because AI governance is not just a technical exercise. It determines who gets protected, who gets surveilled, and whose values get built into systems that affect billions of people. If most of the world has no seat at the table, the rules will reflect that absence.
