Today UN Secretary General @antonioguterres announced what he says is the first global, fully independent scientific body dedicated to "helping close the AI knowledge gap and assess the real impacts of AI across economies and societies."
The UN received more than 2600 applications and final 40 members of the group have been sent to the UN General Assembly for sign off.
The list is experts from all over the world and comprises 19 women and 21 men.
"The panel will help the world separate facts from fakes, and science from slop," Guterres told reporters at the UN. "It will provide an authoritative reference point at a moment when reliable, unbiased understanding of AI has never been more critical."
The experts the SG is proposing for the panel are people from machine learning, data governance, public health, cybersecurity, childhood development and human rights, among other fields.
The panel's first report is expected by July and work will go on for about two years.

Colombia produces an average of 12 million bags of coffee a year — one of the world’s highest. Kenya will work with this South American country to enhance its capacity in the coffee value chain, especially in increasing value addition and exports, to boost earnings.
