AI Governance Day - From Principles to Implementation

“There is a concentration of AI capacity in some areas, and we need to address this
urgently so that some of the harms that were highlighted during the panel discussion
can be addressed, and we can direct the arc of investments, political interest, and
talent in the direction of AI for the SDGs.” (Amandeep Gill)

Mr Gill said that the United Nations were ready to assist the international community in
harnessing AI's benefits while tackling its risks, ready to help building capacity to reinforce the
vital work on standards, to help producing assessments that assist policymakers in the public
and private sectors, and to assist researchers and scientists in making the right decisions to
improve the quality of their decision-making.

A real-time poll was taken among the participants at the beginning of the morning session (pre-

were asked: "Do you agree with these statements?". Answers could be given on a scale from
"strongly disagree" to "strongly agree". Please note also the distribution curves overlaid for
each of the ten statements.
