Artificial Intelligence (AI) demonstrates immense potential in bringing about economic and social benefits by revolutionising areas such as communications, healthcare, public services, finance and education. however, the benefits of AI’s transformative potential are at risk of being offset by a list of challenges. These challenges includes job losses from AI, data privacy concerns, sociocultural biases in AI algorithms, and globally unequal capabilities to design and use AI-based technologies.

The Asia-Pacific community must work fast. All the society – public, private, and social sectors alike – must come together and co-create policy and governance measures for AI. Active participation is needed to ensure that AI is used effectively, for the good of our communities, and to further the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
