Session Report

On 6 July 2023, DTN met virtually to discuss and finalize DTN draft guidance on generative AI (GAI), as well as the creation of a UNICC hosted GAI Hub and a GAI community of practice. This meeting followed the conclusions of DTN’s recent session at IMF in Washington D.C., which highlighted the need to swiftly provide organizations coherent guidance in this area. The meeting was co-chaired by Mr. Bernardo Mariano Junior (CITO, UN Secretariat) and Ms. Shirin Hamid (CIO, IMF). Draft guidance was circulated in advance of the meeting and suggestions were incorporated, allowing for a plenary discussion that invited different viewpoints. 93 representatives of the DTN (CIO) and CDO communities attended the three-hour session. The session concluded with an update on the UN Digital ID Project.
