Regional convening links Latin America’s AI debate to UN Global Digital Compact
Summary
A UN regional convening in Mexico City framed AI governance for Latin America and the Caribbean as part of the UN Secretary-General’s Global Digital Compact, urging regional input and continuity toward a UN global town hall in September.
Presenter opened the Mexico City convening by thanking the government of Mexico and United Nations staff and calling the meeting "an important discussion for your future." The speech framed the event as a regional node feeding into the secretary-general's Global Digital Compact and noted recent steps in Geneva, including the creation of an independent International Scientific Panel on AI.
The presenter argued the compact and regional dialogues are complementary: "The compact set in motion the global dialogue on AI governance a couple of weeks ago in Geneva," the presenter said, and added that convenings in the region will "help carry your voices into that work." The talk closed with a clear forward-looking timeline: the dialogue will continue across regions and culminate in a United Nations global town hall in September, giving this convening a direct procedural link to forthcoming international deliberations.
