UN, ITU Plan Global Dialogue to Address AI-influenced Social, Economic Realities

In order to address AI-influenced social and economic realities across the world, the United Nations (UN) and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), are planning a global dialogue, scheduled to hold from July 6-7 2026 in Geneva, Switzerland.
Since Artificial intelligence (AI) gained large-scale global attention three and a half years ago, most countries have divided views about AI domination and widespread human job displacement.
Since then, AI has accelerated, with new models and applications emerging faster than policymakers anywhere can keep up.
