France’s Permanent Delegation to the UN outlines the country’s commitment to developing inclusive and sustainable international AI governance. France advocates for a rules-based, multilateral framework anchored in human rights and democracy, emphasizing the importance of transparency and international coordination.

The statement, delivered in early April 2025, reaffirms France’s support for an AI treaty or international framework that aligns technological development with ethical and legal safeguards. It also promotes participation from civil society, academia, and the private sector.

France calls for UN-led efforts to ensure that global AI use benefits humanity broadly and avoids deepening global inequalities.
