Resolution on AI Day.

 

The General Assembly,

 

Recalling the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, and conforme à l’esprit of promoting peace, international cooperation, and respect for fundamental human rights,

 

Bearing in mind the Universal Declaration of Human Rights [1], the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights [2], the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights [3], the Pact for the Future [4], and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development [5], which collectively affirm the inherent dignity and worth of every human person, as well as the First in the World History Constitution on Artificial Intelligence, authored by Polina Prianykova (the AI Constitution) [6], and AI Protocol I, elaborated in the spirit of the AI Constitution’s Principles and Provisions: Supranational Protocol on Responsible AI Use and Labor Rights [7], which, in particular, enshrine global standards, labor protections, and human-centric governance for AI technologies,​

 

Recognizing that Artificial Intelligence (AI) developments have a sui generis impact on global society, creating new frontiers of innovation while raising complex ethical, legal, and socio-economic questions,

 

Noting that transparency, accountability, and inclusive governance of AI systems are sine qua non conditions for ensuring that advancements in AI are harnessed pro bono publico — for the benefit of humanity as a whole,

 

Emphasizing the importance of international dialogue and cooperation in facilitating equitable access to AI-driven technologies, particularly in developing countries, mutatis mutandis to their specific national contexts,

 

Convinced that the proclamation of a universal day dedicated to AI will serve as a catalyst for global awareness, public engagement, and the dissemination of best practices in AI governance, and envisaging its potential to further accelerate the 2030 Agenda by catalyzing the creation of a novel Sustainable Development Goal (SDG #18), dedicated to harnessing AI for inclusive, equitable, and sustainable development,

 

Taking into consideration that the promotion and protection of human rights, along with ethical and responsible AI development, require concerted efforts from Member States, intergovernmental organizations, the private sector, academia, and civil society,

 

Recalling further the relevant instruments and recommendations adopted by the United Nations specialized agencies, and other bodies engaged in standard-setting and capacity-building in the realm of AI,

 

1. Proclaims the establishment of an AI Day, to be observed annually on [date to be decided], inviting all Member States, specialized agencies, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, civil society, academia, and the private sector to commemorate the day through appropriate regulatory, educational and public-awareness activities;

 

2. Invites Member States to undertake, on each AI Day, public dissemination of national or regional developments pertaining to AI governance, including but not limited to:

 

(a) Compliance with the AI Constitution’s Foundational Principles [6]: Ensuring that all legislative, regulatory, and educational initiatives on AI Day uphold the core tenets of the AI Constitution—namely, the primacy of human rights, the equitable integration of AI into society, and the supremacy of ethical oversight in AI development.

 

(b) Legislative and regulatory measures aimed at promoting ethical AI usage and addressing potential risks, erga omnes;

 

(c) Ensuring that all newly enacted or significantly amended AI-related measures, research findings, and workforce-protection strategies are submitted in a timely manner to the Global AI Safety and Rights Repository [7], thereby fostering transparency, enhancing intergovernmental collaboration, and facilitating cross-border dissemination of best practices;

 

(d)  Research and development initiatives fostering equitable and responsible AI innovation, taking into account human-centric design principles, including targeted capacity-building, resource mobilization, and open-access educational programs aimed at bridging the AI divide, particularly in developing regions or marginalized communities [6]; 

 

(e) Policies and programs aligned with AI Protocol I (Supranational Protocol on Responsible AI Use and Labor Rights) [7], designed to safeguard labor rights, promote safe working conditions, and manage AI-driven workforce transitions, including (where applicable) retraining and social support measures.

 

(f) Implementation of data-driven frameworks, such as the AI-Human Collaborative Index [7], that measure productivity, job satisfaction, and innovation rates arising from AI-human collaboration, with a view to informing evidence-based policy and fostering synergies between technology and the workforce.

 

3. Encourages private sector entities, academic institutions, and civil society organizations, in coordination with government authorities and relevant international bodies, to:

 

(a) Undertake capacity-building, research, and public-awareness initiatives in accordance with the measures set forth in operative paragraph 2 of this Resolution, thereby reinforcing transparent, equitable, and ethically guided AI governance;

 

(b) Develop or adapt an AI-Human Collaborative Index [7] to empirically assess AI’s integration into labor markets, focusing on productivity, job satisfaction, and wider socio-economic impacts, and to share such findings via the Global AI Safety and Rights Repository [7];

 

(c) Organize conferences, exhibitions, and training programs aimed at exchanging best practices and lessons learned, with a view to strengthening the implementation of ethically and human-centrically designed AI innovations as envisaged under the AI Constitution [6].

 

4. Requests the Secretary-General to:

 

(a) Facilitate the coordination of annual high-level forums or expert panel discussions on AI policy, regulatory progress, and emerging challenges in line with the observation of AI Day and dedicate a segment to evaluating the contribution of AI Day activities toward the prospective Sustainable Development Goal (SDG #18), ensuring synergy between AI governance and broader sustainable development objectives;

 

(b) Report periodically to the General Assembly on the implementation of the present resolution and the impact of AI Day activities worldwide, including, where feasible, a comparative analysis of AI-human collaborative metrics or indices, together with recommendations for strengthening multi-stakeholder cooperation consistent with labor-rights safeguards and transitional support for workers, pro bono humani generis, with a view to enhancing responsible AI development and ensuring equitable integration of AI systems across all sectors [7]. 

 

(c) Provide neutral, authoritative guidance on cross-border AI governance challenges, dispute resolution, and risk mitigation strategies, conforme à l’esprit of fostering trust, transparency, and accountability in the deployment of AI technologies;

 

(d) Issue periodic public recommendations – published via the Global AI Safety and Rights Repository – on best practices and emerging trends in AI governance, thereby advancing the universal aspiration of ethical AI innovation [6, 7].

 

5. Reaffirms that the observance of the AI Day does not create new legal obligations upon Member States per se, yet demands a bona fide commitment from the international community to harness AI for the common good, while upholding human dignity, ethical principles, and the overarching purposes of the United Nations;

 

6. Calls upon all relevant United Nations bodies, specialized agencies, and regional organizations to mainstream AI Day into their respective work programs, ensuring alignment with existing international standards and frameworks aimed at promoting responsible AI innovation;

 

7. Invites Member States, specialized agencies, and all other stakeholders to mobilize resources and expertise, including through voluntary contributions, partnerships, or in-kind support, to enhance awareness-building and capacity development activities in observance of AI Day;

 

8. Decides to include in the provisional agenda of its next session an item entitled “AI Day: A Catalyzer for the Creation of a Novel Sustainable Development Goal (SDG #18),” with a view to exploring the feasibility of establishing an eighteenth Sustainable Development Goal, dedicated to harnessing AI for inclusive, equitable, and sustainable development, and thereby enhancing the 2030 Agenda’s impact [5] through the responsible integration of AI technologies.

 

9. Further decides to remain actively seized of the matter.
