The United Nation has established its independent international scientific panel on artificial intelligence, aimed at advising governments on both the opportunities and risks of this rapidly evolving technology.

The panel will produce evidence-based assessments, facilitate dialogue among countries with differing regulatory approaches, and guide the responsible use of AI to support global development goals.

What outcomes can we anticipate from the panel? And how will it influence global AI governance?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Paul Henman, Professor of Digital Sociology and Social Policy, The University of Queensland, to learn more about the UN’s new AI advisory panel and what it means for governments and societies worldwide.
