Zeng Yi, a professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and member of the UN's AI Advisory Body, has called for a collaborative approach to artificial intelligence governance, emphasizing the United Nations' unique capacity to unify global efforts. Speaking on CGTN's special program Embrace the AI Era: Global Governance Initiative in Action, Zeng stressed that no single platform can address all challenges posed by rapidly evolving AI technologies.
"The UN's role is to inspire different mechanisms so each international organization can contribute to the global AI governance landscape," Zeng stated, highlighting complementary roles for groups like the G20, BRICS, and Shanghai Cooperation Organization in addressing region-specific concerns.
This multilateral vision comes as governments worldwide grapple with AI's ethical implications and economic disruptions. Zeng's comments underscore growing consensus that effective governance requires harmonizing initiatives across political and economic blocs while respecting diverse national priorities.
