Why we are Recruiting
In recent decades, the utilization of technology in national development has surged remarkably. From the era of industrialization and mechanization to the era of wireless connectivity and the proliferation of mobile devices, technological advancements have facilitated the leapfrogging of inequities and paved the way for economic growth and development.
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other cutting-edge technologies continue to fuel the digital economy, their impact and influence on governments, enterprises, institutions, and individuals are increasingly evident. AI holds immense potential to significantly accelerate existing strategies while also offering novel solutions to global economies. However, the harnessing of AI opportunities has been uneven across regions.

Launched in June 2023, the
AI Governance Alliance (AIGA)
aims to provide guidance on the responsible design, development, adoption, deployment, and governance of AI. It seeks to address these challenges by delineating the enablers of AI adoption and devising sustainable solutions tailored to the diverse challenges encountered by different countries and regions in implementing them, thereby bridging regional and country-level gaps in AI technology.

  • Recognizing the urgent need of countries of all sizes to establish their own AI ecosystems and the importance of adapting existing solutions to suit their specific contexts - unlocking the unique capabilities of AI for countries and regions with varying resource levels
  • Exploring, accelerating and scaling across countries multistakeholder collaborations or pilots which have the potential to accelerate AI adoption, usage, and deployment in a safe and inclusive way
