UNDP global Human Development Report and a forthcoming Asia-Pacific analysis on AI impact on human development and between-country inequality highlight that while AI can empower human and enable more responsive public services, it also risks deepening inequalities, possibly creating a new divergence, aggravating country divides if not governed inclusively.Moderated by UNDP China’s Assistant Resident Representative, this panel brings together leading scholars from Tsinghua University and the University of Science and Technology of China to explore how AI is reshaping governance models, public policy, and human development in the Asia-Pacific region. The discussion will examine how policy innovation, data governance, and institutional reform can ensure AI advances people's wellbeing, expands their choices and opportunities —reducing rather than reinforcing inequality, strengthening accountability, and safeguarding human security in the digital age.
