❗️On June 25, the third #G20 Sherpa Meeting kicked off in Sun City, South Africa.
The Russian delegation is led by Svetlana Lukash, Russia’s G20 Sherpa, Deputy Head of the Presidential Expert Directorate of the Russian Federation.
On the first day of the event, an assessment was given to the G20’s contribution to the global development agenda and the promotion of equitable global governance.
It was noted that the global economy is facing serious challenges overcoming of which requires multilateral cooperation. Such efforts should be implemented with the UN playing the central role, as well as backed by the WTO as a universal trade regulator.
As part of the meeting, the participants have begun the work to agree on the draft leadership declaration. Its final version will be adopted at the G20 Summit in Johannesburg on November 22-23, 2025.

🇺🇸California Outlines Core Principles for Frontier AI Governance
California has released a landmark report on frontier AI policy, laying out foundational principles for responsible governance. The document emphasizes evidence-based policymaking, calling for regulatory interventions that weigh both risks and societal benefits of advanced AI. Transparency, accountability, and empirical rigor are central themes — with recommendations including whistleblower protections, third-party audits, and systems for adverse event reporting.
Of particular note is the focus on early policy design: choices made today will shape the future direction of AI innovation and regulation. California positions itself not just as a tech hub, but as a model for how democratic systems can proactively govern powerful emerging technologies.

📖Who Speaks for the AI Generation?
A new report from The Alan Turing Institute reveals a critical omission in AI policymaking: children’s voices. Despite being among the most affected by the long-term impacts of AI systems, children remain largely excluded from regulatory and governance discussions shaping their digital futures.
The report urges policymakers to actively include children's experiences and perspectives in the design and oversight of AI systems. It calls for frameworks that move beyond abstract protections and toward direct engagement with younger users—those who will live longest under the consequences of today's AI decisions.

🇺🇸California’s AI Legal Advisory: A Blueprint for Accountability
California has issued two detailed legal advisories on artificial intelligence, marking a significant step toward regulating AI under state law (📥here and here). These advisories outline specific AI-related practices that could be deemed unlawful, offering clarity on deceptive and harmful uses of AI while reinforcing consumer protections.
Key takeaways:
✔️ Misrepresenting the capabilities of AI systems is explicitly called out. For instance, falsely advertising an AI's accuracy, claiming human involvement when it's AI-driven (or vice versa), or asserting bias-free operation without evidence is now under scrutiny.
✔️ Practices like deepfake creation, voice cloning, or media generated by AI without proper disclosure may be considered deceptive. Similarly, impersonation—whether for fraud, harm, or government duties—is a clear violation.
✔️ AI applications with unfair, unethical, or oppressive consequences, even if unintentional, could also face legal challenges under the state’s laws.
Notably, California’s new AI laws, effective January 1, 2025, address business disclosure requirements, unauthorized use of likeness, and AI in election campaigns, among others. These developments reflect a growing demand for transparency and ethical boundaries in AI deployment.

🌐AI and Democratic Values: 2025 Report Released
The Center for AI and Digital Policy (CAIDP) has published the latest edition of the AI and Democratic Values Index (AIDV 2025) — a global benchmark for AI governance. Covering AI policies in 80 countries, the 1,500-page report tracks national progress, highlights trends, and provides a comparative analysis of AI strategies worldwide.
This year, Canada, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, and the UK lead the rankings, demonstrating strong commitments to ethical AI and democratic accountability. The AIDV Index, now in its fifth edition, is built on contributions from 1,000+ experts across 120 countries.

🌐UN Urged to Set Global AI "Red Lines" Before It’s Too Late
Over 200 experts, including 10 Nobel Prize winners, have signed an open letter calling on the United Nations to establish and enforce global “red lines” for artificial intelligence by the end of 2026. The letter warns that advanced AI systems already show signs of deceptive and harmful behavior while being granted increasing autonomy, creating risks ranging from engineered pandemics and mass disinformation to threats against national security and human rights.
The group demands explicit bans on AI applications such as direct control of nuclear weapons, mass surveillance, and impersonation of humans without disclosure. Among the signatories are AI pioneers Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, OpenAI co-founder Wojciech Zaremba, and leaders from Anthropic and Google DeepMind. The call cites precedents like the 1987 Montreal Protocol as proof that global cooperation can work — but warns that time to act is rapidly running out.

🇪🇺Europe's Industrial Leaders Call for a Pause on the AI Act
A coalition of 46 CEOs from Europe’s most influential companies (including Airbus, ASML, TotalEnergies, Lufthansa, and Mistral) has formally asked the EU to halt the implementation of the AI Act for two years. In an open letter, they argue that the upcoming obligations, particularly for general-purpose and high-risk AI systems, are marred by regulatory ambiguity and administrative overlap. These burdens, they warn, are jeopardizing Europe’s innovation capacity and global competitiveness.
The appeal lands amid ongoing debate in Brussels over how to balance economic growth with digital regulation. EU Commissioner Henna Virkkunen has stated she will consider a “clock-stop” if implementation standards are not finalized by August. .

🇪🇺EU Releases Guidelines on Prohibited AI Practices
The European Commission has published a 140-page guide on AI practices prohibited under the EU AI Act. These guidelines outline AI applications considered "unacceptable" due to risks to fundamental rights and European values.
While non-binding, these guidelines provide legal analysis and practical examples to help stakeholders navigate compliance. The final interpretation will rest with the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU). The Commission has approved the draft, but formal adoption is still pending.
