Description from the channel

Autonomous transport may be advancing quickly, but it cannot scale if systems, regulations and infrastructure stop at national borders. Dmitry Mariyasin, Deputy Executive Secretary of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), examines what cross-border autonomous mobility will require, from interoperability and international governance to safer transport corridors and harmonised regulation. He also highlights recent progress on a global regulatory framework for automated driving systems and the importance of keeping human safety at the centre as automation expands across road, rail, waterways and other modes of transport. Recorded live at the AI for Good Global Summit 2026 at Palexpo in Geneva, Switzerland. AI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with over 50 UN partners and co-convened with the Government of Switzerland.
