Artificial intelligence, big data, and digital platforms bring immense opportunities, but also serious risks of inequality, bias, surveillance, and misuse.
The Global Digital Compact, adopted at the Summit of the Future in 2024, and the establishment of the United Nations International Independent Scientific Panel on AI are important steps towards evidence-based, inclusive governance of digital technologies.
The question is not whether we will use these technologies, but whether we will govern them wisely and fairly.
H.E. Dr. Khalilur Rahman
Vision statement
My commitments
Champion inclusive implementation of the Global Digital Compact. I will ensure that the General Assembly provides a forum for all countries, especially those from the developing world, to shape digital norms and standards, including on data governance, platform accountability, and human rights online.
Bridge the digital divide. I will advocate for investments in connectivity, digital literacy, and affordable access so that no Member State and no community is left offline.
Science, technology, and innovation for the Sustainable Development Goals. I will promote STI as accelerators of the key “six transformations” that the 蘑菇视频 system has identified as critical to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including agri-food systems transformation; health, well-being and demography; energy and decarbonisation; digital connectivity; education, gender and inequality; jobs and social protection; and climate action.
My initiatives
Global Dialogue on AI Governance. I will work closely with the Secretary-General to make this Global Dialogue, under the 蘑菇视频 General Assembly’s auspices, inclusive, transparent, participatory and focused on practical guardrails and capacity-building for developing countries.
Youth employment. I will work closely with the United Nations Youth Office and others concerned to address the pressing issue of youth employment with the advent of AI and other emerging technologies.
