Towards a Citizens Track on AI Governance

Tim Davies

How can the voices of affected communities be placed central to AI governance? Across the world, citizens are sharing their views on the future of data, AI and technology through informed public deliberation.

Join us for a breakfast roundtable (08:30 - 09:30 followed by opportunity for ongoing informal conversations) to explore how transnational, national and grassroots public engagement can be brought into two-way connection with the evolving global AI Governance architecture.

Date: Thursday 23rd April 2026 - 08:30 - 09:30 (light breakfast provided) Location: The Fab, Geneva Graduate Institute

Hosted by the Global Governance Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute, ISWE Foundation and Connected by Data and partners, the session will include:

  • A presentation of the Citizens Track concept including learning from the first global citizens track on climate governance launched at COP30;

  • A showcase of participatory practice on AI from across the globe highlighting diverse practical approaches to deliver informed and meaningful public engagement on technology policy;

  • Discussion of pathways to embed a Citizens Track in the UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance, and future AI governance platforms
