The United Nations (UN) is working to establish international rules and governance for artificial intelligence (AI). The UN’s efforts include establishing an international scientific panel on AI, creating a global dialogue on AI governance, and developing AI standards.

The Advisory Body comprised 39 preeminent AI leaders from 33 countries from across all regions and multiple sectors, serving in their personal capacity.​

• A Multistakeholder, Networked Approach​
  The Body included experts from government, private sector and civil society, engaged and consulted widely with existing and emerging initiatives and international organizations, to bridge perspectives across stakeholder groups and networks.​
