Discussions around AI governance is still in their initial stages, which presents a chance to create frameworks for governance that encompass every step of the process, from development to deployment. While a few states have initiatives on AI principles and ethics, the fragmented landscape results in a lack of coordination of AI governance at the international level. Therefore, to sustain international health, peace and security, there is a need for a comprehensive program that encompasses the legal, political, ethical, economic, and security dimensions.

There is also the interesting dimension of AI  and global health diplomacy, negotiations and how to for example use AI to bring coherence to international law fragmentation. This side meeting focuses both on the role of diplomacy in navigating the ethical, equitable, and effective use of AI technologies in global health as well how AI will influence global health diplomacy. As any regulation of AI necessitates global cooperation and trusted partnerships across countries, those trained in global health diplomacy can help to ensure that advancements benefit all populations and contribute to a fairer global health landscape.
