AI pioneer Yoshua Bengio was elected co-chair of the United Nations' Independent International Scientific Panel on AI [1]. Bengio will lead the 40-member group alongside Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa [1]. The panel provides independent assessments of artificial intelligence capabilities and risks for global decision-makers [1]. The group aims to create a shared scientific understanding of AI development [1]. Bengio stated the panel will offer technical evidence to help governments manage AI impacts safely [1]. This initiative follows growing calls for international cooperation on AI governance and safety standards [1].
