On January 4, 2025, in Hanoi, Amandeep Gill, Under-Secretary-General and Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology, and Nguyen Anh Tuan engaged in a significant discussion about the role of the United Nations in global AI governance and new UN initiatives in the Digital Compact and AI, under the leadership of Amandeep Gill. During this dialogue, they also explored the AIWS Government 24/7 initiative and Boston Areti AI (BAI), two pioneering projects designed to bring AI-driven innovation to governance.
Amandeep Gill expressed strong support for the AIWS Government 24/7, emphasizing its importance in an interview with VietnamNet:
“This 24/7 Government initiative is very important; it’s a great way to save time and resources for the entire economy. People don’t have to queue, they don’t have to waste time, but instead, they can use that time effectively.” Read the full interview here: https://vietnamnet.vn/cac-the-che-cua-chung-ta-chua-dap-ung-duoc-thach-thuc-thoi-dai-so-2360159.html.
The conversation also touched upon the upcoming AI Action Summit in Paris on February 10-11, 2025, a key event to advance ethical AI and global governance. This discussion marked the beginning of the BGF Roundtable “On the Road to the AI Action Summit” to support the French Government and President Macron, recipient of the 2024 World Leader for Peace and Security Award.
The roundtable will continue on January 7 and 8, 2025, featuring distinguished leaders and outstanding students from the Enlightenment in Action Alliance, setting the stage for collaborative efforts toward the future of AI governance and the promotion of democratic values in the digital age.
