Artificial intelligence (AI) may be positively transforming the world across sectors. But it is also deepening socio-economic disparities and geopolitical divisions, a new report on AI governance has highlighted. The report was launched at the recent Paris Peace Forum and Initiate release.
The report, “Beyond the North-South Fork on the Road to AI Governance: An Action Plan for Democratic & Distributive Integrity,” is canvassing for new approaches to better leverage AI and big data for more equitable access for people across social and economic brackets.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the world faster than the world can mitigate intensifying geopolitical divisions and socio-economic disparities.
The forum summited that “As technological change outpaces regulatory policy, no common platform has yet emerged to coordinate a variety of governance approaches across multiple national contexts.
“Informed by discussions within a 21-member expert working group assembled by Initiate: Digital Rights in Society and the Paris Peace Forum, the report entitled “Beyond the North-South Fork on the Road to AI Governance: An Action Plan for Democratic & Distributive Integrity” proposes that AI constitutionalism, and a rights-based approach should guide the development of high-level international protocols and conventions that will set policymaking standards for AI’s development and deployment, worldwide.
“[It] harps on approaching AI and big data as fundamental resources within the modern economy.
The report recommends several key actions to work toward a less fragmented AI policy landscape that incorporates the interests and concerns of Global South countries.”
