Artificial intelligence, the most transformative technology of our lifetime, is rapidly moving beyond generating information to reasoning, making decisions, and taking action. It has the potential to accelerate scientific discovery, expand access to essential services, and enhance human capability. But it also raises urgent new questions about trust, accountability, human agency, and how its benefits can be broadly shared.
The AI for Good Global Commission brings together a high-level multistakeholder group to help identify practical pathways to strengthen trust, support responsible innovation, and deliver broad-based economic and social benefits for people around the world.
Convene
The Commission brings together global leaders from government, business, civil society, and international institutions to engage directly with the defining technical, socio-economic, and policy questions surrounding AI. Commissioners meet annually at the AI for Good Global Summit.
Examine
The Commission’s work explores how people, data, digital applications and AI agents work together across the AI value chain. This work is intended to inform responses to emerging opportunities and risks.
Advocate
The Commission issues clear calls to action: concise statements of shared priorities coupled with concrete initiatives, mobilizing stakeholders and helping humanity navigate the opportunities and challenges of AI
The AI for Good Global Commission has identified three focus areas aimed at unlocking AI’s positive impact for humanity while addressing the barriers that constrain its full and fair deployment. Recognizing the speed at which this technology is evolving, the Commission intends to continue to revisit its priorities as new capabilities emerge so that its work remains responsive to the changing possibilities and challenges of this new era.
AI Trust: Promoting public trust through responsible AI
Examining the appropriate level and sources of intervention needed to ensure responsible AI development while enabling innovation and economic resilience.
AI Access: Building AI infrastructure, capacity, and readiness
Closing the infrastructure and skills gap to ensure AI is deployed rapidly and responsibly around the world, with particular attention to developing countries.
AI Impact: Accelerating the use of AI to address global challenges
Identifying the global challenges best addressed by AI and forging the public-private commitments needed to fast-track solutions at scale.
The Commission builds on the experience of the ITU/UNESCO Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development, which for more than 15 years has tracked progress, shaped policy debates, and mobilized investments to advance universal connectivity. It also draws on ITU’s AI for Good platform and the AI for Good Global Summits, which have brought together the global AI community to advance beneficial and inclusive AI. The Commission will draw on a broad evidence base including international data and benchmarking, scientific research, and lessons from earlier technology waves. Its work will complement other UN initiatives, including the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI and the Global Dialogue on AI Governance.
