At the 2024 UN Summit of the Future on September 22, 2024, Member States adopted a Declaration on Future Generations and a Global Digital Compact, marking a pivotal moment in international efforts to govern emerging technologies responsibly. The Declaration focuses on ensuring governance systems act in solidarity with future generations and the Compact emphasizes the sustainable governance of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This issue brief analyzes how these global initiatives can converge to promote AI governance that advances development while protecting long-term human and planetary well-being. It highlights the critical role of intentional multi-stakeholder partnerships and proposes efforts to coordinate governance across multilateral systems to ensure global AI governance is done in a way that protects the opportunities afforded to future generations.
