Scaling AI responsibly across the UN system
6Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming a core enabler of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), with the potential to enhance efficiency, inclusion, and innovation in the delivery of public services. As governments and international organizations move to scale digital transformation, integrating AI into the architecture of DPI can ensure services are not only smarter but also more equitable, secure, and responsive. Leveraging the UNICC AI Hub as a practical model of shared and secure digital infrastructure, this high-level panel will bring together leading voices from government, industry, academia, and the UN system to explore how AI can be embedded into DPI design and governance frameworks from the ground up. The UNICC AI Hub itself exemplifies how common infrastructure can enable ethical and effective AI deployments across the UN system and, by extension, its Member States. The session further highlights how such interoperable approaches can serve as a foundation for responsible AI adoption across sectors, geographies, and institutions
