Professor Anna Korhonen
Last week, Professor Anna Korhonen, Director of Centre for Human Inspired AI (CHIA) and co-director of ITH, was formally appointed to the United Nations Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence. Established by the United Nations General Assembly, the Panel is the first global, fully independent scientific body dedicated entirely to AI. It will provide evidence-based assessments of AI’s risks, opportunities, and societal impact to support informed global dialogue and governance of one of the most transformative technologies of our time.
Anna joins 40 distinguished experts from across the world selected through a highly competitive international process — a significant recognition of her global leadership in human-centred and responsible AI. One of the Panel’s key priorities will be to produce a report related to the opportunities, risks, and impacts of AI, to be presented at the UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance.
Professor Anna Korhonen commented: “I am honoured to be appointed to this panel, which serves as the first global scientific body on Artificial Intelligence. The appointment aligns closely with my research on developing responsible, human-centred AI and applying it to support global sustainable development. I am looking forward to taking up my place on the panel at its first meeting.”
