In our hyperconnected world, AI is everywhere—from chatbots on e-commerce apps in India to smart home gadgets in Jakarta. But as we ride this AI wave, who’s making sure we’re all on the same page?
That’s where the United Nations comes in. Zeng Yi, professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the Chinese mainland and member of the United Nations’ AI Advisory Body, dropped some 🔥 insights on CGTN’s special program “Embrace the AI Era.”
“It’s really important that we cannot expect one platform to solve all problems,” Zeng says. While groups like the G20, BRICS, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization each tackle their own AI challenges, they often operate in silos.
Think of it like different bands jamming separately—each sounds great alone, but to create a global hit, you need a conductor. The UN’s role? To inspire these bands to come together and jam in harmony 🤝🌐
By weaving together efforts across various international platforms, the UN hopes to build a more cohesive AI governance framework. This means safer algorithms, fairer data practices, and tech that benefits everyone—from students in Dhaka to start-ups in Ho Chi Minh City.
As the AI era accelerates, this collaborative approach could be the key to ensuring tech growth stays inclusive and responsible. After all, global challenges need global vibes! 🌏✨
