Iceland's President Joins AI Advisory Board

Iceland's President Halla Tómasdóttir is set to become a founding member of a new international body, the AI for Good Global Commission. This commission's primary objective is to ensure that artificial intelligence is developed and utilized for the benefit of humanity.

The commission will hold its inaugural meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, on Wednesday, coinciding with the AI for Good Global Summit. This summit is part of Geneva's Digital Week and includes two other UN-hosted conferences focusing on the information society and public policy for AI.

President Tómasdóttir is scheduled to address attendees at the public policy conference on Tuesday and the AI for Good Global Summit on Wednesday. She will also engage in discussions with participants across all three events, highlighting Iceland's commitment to global AI governance.

The AI for Good Global Commission's formation underscores a growing international effort to establish ethical guidelines and collaborative frameworks for AI development. By bringing together diverse leaders and experts, the commission aims to foster responsible innovation and address the potential challenges and opportunities presented by rapidly advancing AI technologies.
