The EU has been a driving force in a holistic human-centric AI governance approach that honours universal values, fundamental rights, and principles. The approach and what would be needed and associated will be discussed at the Roundtable.

With the strong participation of European AI at the PPF by the experts’ contributions and the above activities, European AI is adding to the success of the 5th PPF, which analyses ways to mitigate multiple shocks and the socio-economic consequences of crises, while supporting multilateralism and a more cooperative world. 

The EU AI’s new solutions, initiatives and transnational debates will offer examples that demonstrate determination, resilience, solidarity, and innovation on the part of actors from the North and the South facing the major challenges of our time.

The PPF brings together representatives of States, international organizations, companies, development banks, foundations, and NGOs from all regions of the world, united to transform solutions into concrete actions.
