According to Cathy Li, head of AI, data and metaverse at the WEF: “The AI Governance Alliance is uniquely positioned to play a crucial role in furthering greater access to AI-related resources, thereby contributing to a more equitable and responsible AI ecosystem globally.”

“We must collaborate among governments, the private sector and local communities to ensure the future of AI benefits all,” she added.

AIGA has called for experts in various sectors to address key areas such as improving data quality across nations, boosting computational resources and adapting foundation models to suit local challenges.

A strong emphasis has also been placed on education to navigate local AI ecosystems effectively.
