In early July, a UN‑focused gathering highlighted AI governance and cost‑management issues for industry leaders. 

The following month, the UN Global Compact convened two regional dialogues – one in Bogotá, Colombia, and another in Chile – to explore how artificial intelligence can advance corporate sustainability, ethical governance, climate action and risk management. Participants included CEOs, UN officials, academics, union representatives and researchers, who stressed the need for human‑rights safeguards, continuous skill development and social dialogue to harness AI for inclusive, climate‑friendly growth.
