To increase compliance with their digitalisation commitments, at Rio the G20 leaders should consider focusing on fewer communiqué words and commitments on digitalisation, make more commitments on artificial intelligence and infuse digitalisation into their commitments on economic subjects and on health. They could also commit – for the first time – to making digitalisation and its AI component work for the Rio Summit’s priorities of equality for women and girls, clean energy and climate action. CONCLUSION The Rio Summit offers a tremendous opportunity to gain critical alignment among G20 members on narrowing the digital divide and ensuring that the rules on AI governance take into account the needs of the Global South. Reducing inequalities while advancing opportunities must be a priority in the booming regulatory landscape surrounding data and AI. At Rio, G20 leaders could enshrine principles related to reducing inequalities, including shrinking the digital divide while advancing the inclusive use of data for development, and harnessing safe, secure and inclusive AI for good and for all.
