On 6–7 July 2026, Takeo Harada, CEO of the Institute for International Strategy and Information Analysis, Inc. (IISIA), participated in the United Nations Global Dialogue on Artificial Intelligence Governance, held in Geneva, Switzerland.

Established by the United Nations General Assembly, the Global Dialogue serves as an international platform for inclusive discussions on the governance of artificial intelligence.

Governments, international organizations, the private sector, academia and civil society gathered to address some of the most consequential questions of the AI era — from bridging AI divides and strengthening capacity-building to ensuring safe, secure and trustworthy AI, as well as advancing human rights, transparency and accountability.

The question before us is not only:

“How should AI be governed?”

It is also:

“How can AI help us redesign governance itself?”

With this perspective, IISIA and its affiliated organization, the Research Institute for Japan’s Globalization (RIJAG), are advancing research, policy engagement and social implementation around the concept of “AI-enabled governance” — exploring how AI can contribute to strengthening and redesigning governance capacity in an era of demographic, technological and geopolitical transformation.

Takeo Harada has continued to bring this perspective into international discussions, including through a video question submitted to the UN Secretary-General candidate hearings and his participation as a stakeholder speaker in the Third Informal Stakeholder Consultation on the Global Dialogue on Artificial Intelligence Governance.

Furthermore, the Kusunoki Project, a social contribution initiative jointly promoted by RIJAG and IISIA, is featured on the UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance’s AI Dialogue Partnerships Hub.

We believe that global dialogue must be connected to concrete action.

Think globally. Act concretely.

By engaging in international policy discussions while advancing AI education, capacity-building and real-world implementation across generations, IISIA will continue to contribute Japanese perspectives and practices to the evolving global conversation on AI governance.

Guided by our vision of realizing “Pax Japonica,” we will continue working at the intersection of AI, geopolitics, public policy and human capital development — contributing to a more peaceful, inclusive and sustainable international order.
