- The ‘Global Digital Compact’ (GDC) was adopted in the recently concluded UN ‘Summit of the Future’.
- It is not a binding law but a diplomatic instrument with a set of shared goals for governments, institutions, firms, and other stakeholders to bear in mind.
- The GDC is a collaborative project with the objective of ensuring human oversight of technologies in ways that advance sustainable development.
- To address the digital divide, the GDC proposes “digital public goods” that will include open-source software, open data, and open AI models, plus adherence to privacy and best practices.
- Earlier, the UN helped pilot and legitimise two other compacts.
