The United Nations has created its first global scientific group for artificial intelligence by appointing 40 experts to the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI.
Professor B. Ravindran from IIT Madras represents India as the only Indian member on this panel for a three-year term.

The Independent International Scientific Panel on AI works as a new global scientific advisory council for the world.
It acts as a neutral and technical support system to study the global progress of artificial intelligence and its fast-moving scientific limits.
The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) created this panel under its direct guidance.

The panel brings together 40 globally recognized experts from different scientific fields around the world.
Experts serve on this panel for a fixed three-year term.
Professor B. Ravindran from IIT Madras is the sole Indian scientist chosen for this first group of members.

The main goal of the panel is to run honest, deep, and regular scientific checks on artificial intelligence.
It separates technical facts from world politics to give clear scientific data to countries.
This clear data helps the global community create a fair and united system for AI governance.

The panel must review the global state of science regarding AI systems and computer power on a regular basis.
It writes detailed scientific reports about what new AI models can do, their safety limits, and their design changes.
It follows a strict rule to look only at the technical side of AI and leaves political talks to country leaders in the Global Dialogue.
It studies the hidden dangers of advanced AI tools, such as how they might help create biological or chemical weapons.
It checks open datasets and testing rules to help global storage systems like the Trusted AI Commons.
