Pathways to Inclusion: Advancing Civil Society’s Role in AI Governance

Pathways to Inclusion: Advancing Civil Society’s Role in AI Governance explores how artificial intelligence is governed and who gets a say in shaping its future. Paola Gálvez Callirgos highlights the underrepresentation of civil society from the Global Majority in global decision-making spaces and argues that their perspectives are essential to counterbalance concentrated power. Drawing on regional insights and comparative research, the publication identifies barriers to participation and opportunities for engagement, and proposes policy recommendations to a set of stakeholders to ensure AI governance is inclusive, reflects diverse values, and serves the public interest.
