AI safety and ethics demand global governance. The Global AI Governance Alliance (GAIGANow) is committed to realizing this vision. The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents both immense opportunities and profound risks. There is an urgent need for effective, accountable, and inclusive global governance to ensure AI serves humanity safely and ethically.
Many outstanding organizations and individuals are actively advocating for specific pathways toward this goal. The Global AI Governance Alliance – GAIGANow – seeks to unite these voices, fostering a broad and transformative movement dedicated to securing safe and ethical AI governance.
Last 29th July 2026, Professor Maria João Rodtrigues participated at a GAIGANow meeting more precisely at the “AI Governance – First Global Dialogue Unpacked” panel. This had as an important conclusion that the path to May 2027 runs through the 81st Session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 81) in September 2026. Ideally, points raised by national representatives at UNGA81 will increase the chance that the May 2027 dialogue is more than simply another exchange of pre-prepared talks.
