Multistakeholder discussions aimed to build consensus around a rights-based agenda for the global governance of AI and digital societies, focusing on the following topics:
- Opportunities and threats for fundamental rights in AI & digital societies.
- Transatlantic approaches to protect fundamental rights in AI & digital spaces.
- The elements & processes for an international legal framework to protect fundamental rights in AI & digital spaces
- The Concept, Principle and Ecosystem for Digital and AI Society – “Remaking the World, Toward an Age of Global Enlightenment”.
- The Global Alliance for Digital Governance
- A framework for a global law and accord on AI and digital tools The Policy Lab followed the work initiated by both organizations on the implications of digital technologies and AI for democracy, global cooperation and multilateralism, with a particular focus on the Transatlantic space, and based on the progress of the AIWS Social Contract 2020 (Social Contract for the age of AI) and AIWS Innovation Network (AIWS.net).
