Global AI governance in 2025: Safe and ethical

In 2025, the world will witness important developments in artificial intelligence governance, as global leaders, tech companies, and experts work to create frameworks for safe and ethical AI, Kazinform News Agency correspondent reports.

In February, Paris will host the AI Action Summit, bringing together governments, tech companies, scientists, and experts to explore frameworks for developing "public-interest" AI.

Canada's G7 presidency, starting in January, is expected to prioritize a unified approach to emerging technologies, potentially accelerating G7 and OECD efforts to ensure safe, secure, and trustworthy AI.

Meanwhile, Rwanda will host a summit in April on Africa’s role in the global AI landscape.

In August, the European Union's groundbreaking "AI Act" will introduce new rules on general-purpose AI systems. As the world’s first comprehensive AI law, this regulation is anticipated to set global standards for responsible AI use, influencing tech companies worldwide and serving as a foundation for a globally recognized "code of practice" for the AI industry.

Moreover, the United Nations' Global Digital Compact and a proposed blueprint for AI governance could provide an opportunity for emerging powers to rewrite the rules and gain more influence.
