There is already a tapestry of international regulations on AI being developed, including through the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic, and the Council of Europe (such as the Budapest Cybercrime Convention and the Automatic Processing Convention). However, many of these initiatives are fragmented in membership and functions. We welcome the recent efforts of UN System Chief Executives Board for Coordination through the High-Level Committee on Programmes to draft a system-wide AI engagement strategy. This should be strengthened.
