As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into critical infrastructures, governance systems, and security architectures, questions of safety, resilience, and responsibility are becoming central to global policy debates. This session will examine how ethical frameworks, regulatory approaches, and international cooperation can contribute to building reliable and resilient AI ecosystems. It will also place in perspective recent international initiatives — including declarations and agreements aimed at guiding the development of AI, such as the Seoul Statement, the UNESCO Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence (2021), the Council of Europe Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence (2024), the Hiroshima AI Process (G7, 2023), and other multilateral commitments — which reflect a growing effort to structure global governance for these technologies.
Beyond risk management alone, the discussion will explore how AI development can be aligned with democratic values, the protection of human dignity, and the preservation of the common good. Bringing together scholars, policymakers, and practitioners, this session will seek to identify concrete avenues for cooperation capable of supporting a global architecture of artificial intelligence that serves human security, democratic stability, and the collective interest. The credibility of these multilateral commitments will ultimately depend on their ability to move beyond declaratory principles and to shape an effective global governance framework for artificial intelligence.
