The Science Councilor of the Embassy of China to the USA called for a meeting with Jerome Glenn on March 8, 2024, executive director of The Millennium Project, about the Artificial General Intelligence Study and other works of The Millennium Project.

This photo was taken after the 2-hour very positive meeting in which Jerome Glenn stressed the importance of a joint US-China UN General Assembly Resolution to begin working on a UN Convention on AI with two sections: one focusing on artificial narrow intelligence and the other on artificial general intelligence. Councilor Ping Zhong thought China would welcome this, but thought the US would not agree.

Next, a consultant to the UN Council of Previous UN General Assembly Presidents (the Council Members advise the current and next President of the UN General Assembly on the GA agenda) asked Jerome Glenn to give briefing on the AGI issues as distinct from current ANI to the Council staff on March 5 – this session also went 2 hours. They asked Glenn to give the briefing to the full membership of the Council and to the current President of the UNGA.

Phase 2 of The Millennium Project’s AGI study, Requirements for Global Governance of Artificial General Intelligence – AGI: Results of a Real-Time Delphi report, will be available next month.
