Introduction

The 3rd UNESCO Global Forum on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence  
will take place from 24 to 27 June 2025, in Bangkok, Thailand.

In collaboration with UNESCO, Thailand is proud to welcome global leaders shaping the future of AI technology and policy, including ministers, senior officials, prominent representatives of the academic community and civil society, as well as industry pioneers, to the 3rd UNESCO Global Forum on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence at the Centara Grand and Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld. Coming for the first time to the Asia-Pacific region, the Forum is a preeminent stage for global dialogue, collaboration, and policy innovation to harness the power of this technology for the benefit of all.

The Global Forum is a key platform to foster the implementation of the Recommendation on the Ethics of AI by all Member States of UNESCO, bringing together knowledge and experiences from around the world on developing AI policies and institutions to drive social and economic progress while addressing potential risks to human rights.  

This event will focus on moving from principle to action. The exchanges between senior officials, experts from academic and civil society, and business leaders will be framed and informed by the Readiness Assessment Methodology (RAM) and the outcomes of its deployment in over 60 countries. 

The policy recommendations from the RAM national reports will offer a unique framework for evidence-based conversations around the key opportunities and challenges where international cooperation can make a difference. 

We invite you to join the Forum, to be part of this conversation and contribute to promoting AI that creates a positive impact.
