The AI Governance Alliance (AIGA) has unveiled three comprehensive reports today, focusing on the governance of generative AI, unlocking its value, and establishing a framework for responsible AI development and deployment. This initiative represents a collaborative effort to shape responsible AI applications and governance, ensuring equitable global distribution and access to advanced AI technologies.

To achieve these objectives, AIGA calls upon experts across various sectors to address key areas such as improving data quality, enhancing computational resource access, and adapting AI models to meet local needs. The alliance underscores the importance of education and developing local expertise to manage AI ecosystems effectively. This initiative also includes establishing new institutional frameworks and public-private partnerships, as well as implementing multilateral controls.

These efforts are crucial in light of AI’s potential to widen the digital divide. The new briefing paper series, crafted by AIGA’s core workstreams in collaboration with IBM Consulting and Accenture, addresses this issue among others. As AI technology rapidly evolves and developed nations vie for AI innovation, addressing the digital divide becomes imperative to prevent billions in developing countries from being left behind. The reports by AIGA mark a significant step towards a more inclusive and responsibly managed AI future.
