In an annual calendar packed full of global AI conferences and summits, the new United Nations Global Dialogue on AI Governance scheduled for Geneva next July is entering a crowded field. Yet, this Dialogue and its accompanying Scientific Panel, formally launched last week by the President of the UN General Assembly (UNGA), have the opportunity to bring something unique to the table: the voice of citizens. Learning from decades of global convening on climate change, these new tools of AI Governance must place local lived experiences at their heart. Unless they can meaningfully centre the voices of citizens, they risk irrelevance before they get started.
