At Devex Impact House, UN Tech Envoy Amandeep Gill @gioasempre reflected on what the next UN leadership needs from day one: meet the moment, raise ambition, unlock UN talent and stay anchored in Charter values. Networked multilateralism is central.

#DigitalCooperation

Spoke to @SkyYaldaHakim about the AI debate at the #UN this week. Significant moment with Tech CEOs and top AI scientists calling for urgent global action on safeguards and redlines.

Some reflections ahead of the UN Security Council debate today. Nuclear analogy is imperfect but lands right on one lesson: cooperation and competition can coexist. In mutual interest. #UNGA @jnbarrot @francediplo foreignpolicy.com/2026/09/22/ai-…

“We have brought together global expertise to ensure that policy is guided by evidence.”

“The science is here. We can no longer say we did not know." - @antonioguterres

On Monday the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI released its first thematic brief focused on AI agents, misalignment and the risk of losing human control: un.org/independent-in…

“We talk about A.I. as though it were a weather event, a storm [but] A.I. is not an uncontrollable force of nature — it is built by humans and it can be controlled by humans.”

– Amandeep Singh Gill [@gioasempre], the U.N.’s under secretary general and special envoy for emerging technologies

I welcome the leadership of the President of Finland & the Prime Minister of Norway in launching the Call for Control of Frontier AI Models, which calls for @UN @UNmber countries to build on existing international mechanisms & explore creating an international institution able to set standards, enable verification & convene states when capability thresholds are crossed.

I also welcome today's release of the first thematic brief of the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI.

I encourage external experts, including from frontier AI labs & safety institutes, to engage with the Panel.

The first thematic brief from the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI is out. It examines the 2026 OpenAI-Hugging Face incident and what it tells us about AI agents and the risk of losing human control.
