🇨🇭Geneva Debrief on UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance - Beyond AI Innovation: Youth Perspectives on the Future of Global AI

​Beyond AI Innovation: Next Generation Perspectives on the Future of Global AI Governance

​UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance, along with AI for Good Summit and WSIS Forum, was held this month in Geneva, marking the first time the UN is moving AI governance from principles to coordinated execution, positioning it as a foundational moment for the global governance of AI.

​Following the events, TechConnect convenes a youth-led dialogue to reflect on one of the defining shifts of our time:

​How is global AI governance evolving, and what role should the next generation play in shaping it?

​As artificial intelligence moves beyond technological innovation into international policy, regulation, and global cooperation, the conversations taking place in Geneva are helping shape the future rules, standards, and institutions governing AI worldwide.

​This session brings together young leaders who participated in these global discussions to share key insights, emerging trends, and practical perspectives on AI governance, AI for health, and international collaboration.
