UNCTAD urges inclusive AI governance and proposes measures like AI public disclosures, open-source models, shared infrastructure, and knowledge-sharing initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Path Forward: Collaboration Over Competition<\/strong><br>The report concludes that AI can become a driver of innovation and global prosperity \u2014 but only with international cooperation, inclusive governance, and strategic investment.
