Kirti Vardhan Singh, Union Minister of State for External Affairs and Envrionment, Forest & Climate Change, will lead the Indian delegation to Geneva, Switzerland, from 6-7 July, 2026 to participate in the inaugural United Nation’s Global Dialogue on AI Governance, the MEA said in a release on Monday.
The Global Dialogue on AI Governance is a universal, multi-stakeholder UN forum established under General Assembly Resolution 79/325, following the Global Digital Compact adopted as part of the Pact of the Future in September 2024, . The Global Dialogue is a unique opportunity to advance international governance of artificial intelligence in ways that complement international, regional, national and multi-stakeholder efforts. Together with the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI that promotes scientific understanding, transparency, accountability and robust human oversight, the dialogue will help to build capacities, especially in developing countries, to direct the AI systems towards the pursuit of sustainable development. In line with the terms of reference and modalities adopted in August 2025, the Co-Chairs had also held several stakeholder consultations, including one in-person consultation held on the sidelines of the AI Impact Summit held in New Delhi in February 2026.
The Global Dialogue on AI in Geneva will receive the annual report of the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI (IISPA) which provides first independent scientific assessment of the capabilities, emerging opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence. Engagements at the Dialogue will also include thematic discussions around four clusters covering AI’s social and economic implications, bridging AI divides, safe and trustworthy AI and human rights in the AI context, MEA said.
