BRUSSELS — The United Nations wants to create an artificial intelligence forum to rule them all.

AI fever has already generated a glut of summits, pledges, nonbinding principles and international talking shops to rein in the white-hot technology.

The U.N. thinks it could do better, according to a recent draft of a report — obtained by POLITICO — from its all-star advisory group featuring thinkers such as Spain’s ex-AI minister Carme Artigas, Pope Francis’ AI guru Paolo Benanti, and OpenAI chief technologist Mira Murati. The report envisions U.N.-backed AI initiatives, and a global AI Office to “fill gaps and bring coherence to the fast-emerging ecosystem of international AI governance responses.”
