Statement on Inclusive and Sustainable Artificial Intelligence for People and the Planet

Summary

Statement of the AI Action Summit in Paris that sets six priorities: accessible AI to reduce digital divides; AI that is open, inclusive, transparent, ethical, safe, secure and trustworthy; innovation without market concentration; AI that shapes work and labour markets positively; sustainable AI; and international cooperation on governance. It commends the Bletchley and Seoul summits' work on AI safety and notes the voluntary commitments made there, says the signatories will keep addressing AI risks to information integrity and continue work on AI transparency, and reaffirms the commitment to a UN Global Dialogue on AI governance and an Independent International Scientific Panel on AI.
