    AIxMultilateralism: Down to Earth — Why AI Depends on Planetary Intelligence, with Martín Tironi Rodó

    This is AI x Multilateralism, a playlist of conversations at the UN Library & Archives Geneva where we’re joined by experts who help us unpack the many ideas and issues at the nexus of AI and international cooperation.   The environmental impact of AI systems is becoming clearer and increasingly discussed. But what if we went beyond this to look at how the success of AI is dependent on the earth’s resources? In this episode we are joined by Martín Tironi Rodó, Director of FAIR, the Futures of Artificial Intelligence Research Nucleus, and the sociologist of Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. He shares why artificial intelligence is deeply interconnected with planetary intelligence, and calls for more research, agency and leadership across Chile and Latin America in shaping the future of AI.

    Democracy, Trust and Emotions in the History of Global Governance

    In this episode we explore some of the emotional and psychological life of international governance. Professor Daniel Laqua, Professor Dan Gorman and Dr. Anne-Isabelle Richard talk about GLO, a transatlantic research project examining how civil society, activists, and NGOs have campaigned to build, shape, reform or put an end to international organizations from the early 20th century to the early 2000s. They discuss findings from the project about emotional experiences such as love, hate, trust, and sense of belonging in this context, and consider the way people relate to and through international institutions through psychodynamic concepts of projection and transference. Listen to examples from the League of Nations, United Nations Associations, Jubilee 2000, and the Council of Europe. Learn about the archival research methods, and what grassroots diplomacy suggests about the possibilities of change. Resources: Ask a Librarian! Ask an Archivist!

    AIxMultilateralism: Philanthropy's Role in Inclusive, Ethical AI

    This is AI x Multilateralism, a playlist of conversations at the UN Library & Archives Geneva where we’re joined by experts who help us unpack the many ideas and issues at the nexus of AI and international cooperation.   Should philanthropy be a part of the development and governance of AI? We’re exploring this question with Hubert Halopé and Giuseppe Ugazio, both part of the team at the Artificial Intelligence & Philanthropy Project at the University of Geneva. They explore: - Why studying the links between AI and philanthropy matter. - The findings in the project's open source book, The Routledge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence and Philanthropy, including how AI can be used within philanthropy itself, and how philanthropy can impact the inclusive and responsible development and use of AI. - Why philanthropic organisations should play a key role in AI governance and in the ethical use of AI, and  - How philanthropy can be present in multilateral AI governance mechanisms at the UN. Resources: Learn about the Artificial Intelligence & Philanthropy Project at the University of Geneva.

    Redrawing the Map: How African States Shaped Multilateralism

    In this episode Lynda Chinenye Iroulo, Assistant Professor of International Relations at Georgetown University in Qatar, discusses how African states actively shaped multilateral institutions. Drawing on her research in decolonial international relations and the design of regional organizations, she talks about the history behind the African Union, the African Peer Review Mechanism, and the push for common African positions at the UN. Lynda highlights examples such as the shift from non‑intervention to the responsibility to protect, reforms in peace support operations, debates over the ICC, and ongoing calls for UN reform. She argues for a post‑colonial institutionalist lens to make African contributions visible and to rethink how global institutions are designed and implemented. Resources: Ask a Librarian!

    AIxMultilateralism: Why We Need Redlines for Data, with Emily Tucker

    This is AI x Multilateralism, a playlist of conversations at the UN Library & Archives Geneva where we’re joined by experts who help us unpack the many ideas and issues at the nexus of AI and international cooperation.   For this conversation we’re joined by Emily Tucker, Executive Director at the Center on Privacy & Technology and Adjunct Professor of Law, at Georgetown Law. There are many calls today to enact redlines for AI, but what about redlines for data? In this episode, we explore Emily’s work and research on what’s called datafication. She shares what this means, the impact of datafication on political participation and the public interest, and the implications for our collective capacity to create the futures we want as communities and societies. She also reflects on three priorities for data redlines, and what multilateral fora should be asking when it comes to how data is collected and used in today’s world.   Resources: Learn about the Center on Privacy & Technology at Georgetown Law Read Emily's article "To Have Democracy, We Must Contest Data" on TechPolicy.Press Consult Emily's recommendation: "Datafication", by Ulises A Mejias and Nick Couldry (open access article, UN Library & Archives Geneva) Explore the work of The Distributed AI Research Institute, Emily's recommended open access resource.

    AIxMultilateralism: "A Dangerous Master" Revisited - Wendell Wallach on AI, Ethics and Governance

    This is AI x Multilateralism, a playlist of conversations at the UN Library & Archives Geneva where we’re joined by experts who help us unpack the many ideas and issues at the nexus of AI and international cooperation.   In this episode, we're joined by Wendell Wallach, a bioethicist who's been working on the ethics and governance of emerging technologies for decades. He’s the author of two books – A Dangerous Master, and Moral Machines – and until 2024, co-led the Carnegie Council’s AI and Equality Initiative. He’s also senior advisor to The Hastings Center, and a scholar at Yale University’s Interdisciplinary Center for Bioethics, where for 11 years he chaired Technology and Ethics studies. For this episode, we’re sharing excerpts from a wide-ranging conversation where he shares his views on the ethics and governance of AI, the continued relevance of his books on robots and technologies many years after they were first published, what we can learn from bioethics, and the urgent need for oversight to align technology with human and environmental interests. Resources: Read "A Framework for the International Governance of AI" - Carnegie Council's AI & Equality Initiative.

    Start Close In: Diplomacy, Technology, and the Ground Beneath Our Feet

    Start Close In: Diplomacy, Technology, and the Ground Beneath Our Feet In this episode of The Next Page, we talk with Anja Kaspersen — an IEEE director and former director of the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs in Geneva and Deputy Secretary General of the Conference on Disarmament — about having more confident discussions on technology, and how poetry, attention, and disciplined perception can guide diplomacy in an age of emerging technologies. Anja argues that the ground for engagement is not technical mastery but institutional literacy. She explains why diplomats should remain at the table, ask architectural questions, and translate between technical and policy worlds. The conversation covers science diplomacy, the changing nature of arms control and dual-use technologies, the importance of redundancy, resilience, and interoperability, and the need for anticipatory governance rather than reactive responses. Takeaways include strengthening discernment, preserving archives and institutional memory, resisting binary framings, and investing in human skills to govern technology responsibly.
