Gambia calls for inclusive AI governance and greater LDC participation

Mohammed Jello warned that artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies could exacerbate inequalities if developing countries remain passive consumers of technologies designed elsewhere. He urged inclusive governance of AI, capacity building for research and standards participation, and said technology must "serve humanity."

Jello also spoke for the least developed countries, listing structural constraints—limited productive capacity, high debt burdens and restricted access to affordable finance—and pledged Gambian leadership within the LDC coordination group to advocate for more equitable participation in global technology governance.
