Abstract

AI is expected to contribute $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030. Major risks include algorithmic bias, misinformation, cyber threats, and autonomous weapons. The G7 and G20 must collaborate to establish an international AI governance framework. Ethical AI standards must be implemented to ensure fairness, transparency, and accountability. AI-driven cybersecurity risks and misinformation must be mitigated through international cooperation. Regulations on AI’s use in warfare and surveillance are essential for global security. AI research, data sharing, and capacity-building initiatives should promote equitable AI access. A unified governance strategy will balance AI innovation, security, and fairness globally.
