Governance of artificial intelligence within the framework of the United Nations

Abstract

The world currently faces ongoing technological and automation challenges, particularly in the wake of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which has brought about fundamental changes in various fields. One of the key products of this revolution is artificial intelligence. It has become an important indicator of countries’ progress and development in various areas, prompting many to adopt it to varying degrees.

However, this almost total reliance on artificial intelligence systems has raised numerous legal issues, prompting the international community to establish governance frameworks for artificial intelligence at the international, regional and national levels through the United Nations and its specialised agencies, such as UNESCO.

Accordingly, we pose the following question:

What is the United Nations’ strategy for governing artificial intelligence?

To answer this question, the research is divided into two parts:

1. The concept of artificial intelligence governance.


2. The stages and principles of AI governance.
