AIGC Global AI Governance & Policy Council

Shakeel A. Mian

Founder & Chair

I founded AI Global Council with a simple but ambitious idea: we need to build bridges, not boundaries. My vision for AIGC is a trusted bridge between the Global North and Global South, connecting people, knowledge and expertise through two-way knowledge exchange, capacity building, policy dialogue and responsible AI collaboration. Countries and communities across the Global South must contribute their own perspectives and solutions to help shape an inclusive, responsible and effective AI future.

Agnieszka Rachwal-Mueller

I joined AIGC to advance responsible AI through stronger cross-cultural understanding and international collaboration. I hope to bring my experience in responsible global leadership, AI governance, international business and capacity building to strengthen meaningful knowledge exchange between the Global North and Global South.

Prof. Dr. h.c. Joerg Molt

I joined AIGC because AI governance should not restrict knowledge, but govern action, authority and accountability. My focus is on dynamic, user-oriented governance with escalation mechanisms, State-aware Governance and Authority in the Loop, so that AI can remain capable while its actions stay contextually governed and accountable.

My ethical and moral input to AIGC: Regulation vs Trust vs freedom and free speech and uncensored access to knowledge

Juha Henriksson

I joined AIGC because bridging the Global North and Global South is personally important to me, and because responsible AI requires diverse perspectives, reliable data and meaningful international cooperation. Through my work across cultural heritage, AI policy, digitalisation and international networks, I hope to connect AIGC with wider global communities and contribute to responsible and inclusive AI governance.

Cynda Jones Carswell (CJ Carswell)

I joined AIGC because even well-designed governance fails if the humans meant to exercise it can't actually recognize, trust, and act on it in the moment that matters. My work in behavioral science focuses on that gap — response-readiness, human oversight capacity, and the conditions under which authority remains genuinely effective rather than merely nominal. Through AIGC, I hope to bring that lens to how we build institutions, and AI systems, that people can actually trust to govern well.

Fabrizio Degni

I joined AIGC to help translate AI ethics, regulation and international standards into practical and actionable governance. Through my research and enterprise experience, I hope to contribute frameworks that promote transparent, accountable and auditable AI while supporting responsible innovation across different regions.

Fredrik Kocon

I joined AIGC because responsible AI requires not only sound policies, but also people and institutions with the capabilities to implement them. Through my work in human-centred AI, education and national capability building, I hope to contribute practical perspectives on developing AI competence that strengthens individuals, organisations and societies across regions.

Joman Alkhatib

I joined AIGC to contribute to the evolving intersection of AI law, technology and FinTech governance while strengthening connections among practitioners, researchers and policymakers across the Global South. I hope to support meaningful cross-border collaboration and practical understanding of the emerging legal and regulatory challenges surrounding AI.

Juan Antonio Gámez Montero

I joined AIGC to contribute to the emerging relationship between AI governance, sovereign infrastructure and sustainable technology. I hope to bring perspectives on secure, energy-efficient and digitally independent AI infrastructure while supporting governance approaches capable of connecting technological development with sustainability and sovereignty across global markets.

Carl Mikael Björn

I joined AIGC to contribute a technology and cybersecurity perspective to the challenge of making increasingly autonomous AI systems genuinely governable. I hope to help translate governance principles into practical mechanisms for authorisation, accountability, security and human control, particularly as AI moves from recommendation toward real-world execution.

Muhammad Arshi Wasique

I joined AIGC to help translate Responsible AI and governance principles into practical organisational frameworks. Drawing on my experience in cybersecurity, enterprise risk, digital trust and emerging technology, I hope to contribute to stronger approaches to accountability, human oversight, assurance and responsible AI implementation.

Thomas Forsch

I joined AIGC to contribute my extensive experience in legal, regulatory and governance frameworks across Europe, the Levant and the GCC to a genuinely international AI dialogue. I see AIGC as an opportunity to connect different legal and regulatory perspectives and support responsible development of AI and emerging technologies across the Global North and Global South.

Dr. Uzair Khaleeq uz Zaman

I joined AIGC to contribute the perspective of science, technology and innovation policy from a developing-country context. My focus is on connecting AI, Industry 4.0/5.0, technology transfer and industrial transformation with evidence-based policymaking, while strengthening technological capability across the Global South.

Zeeshan Qedwaee

I joined AIGC to help connect board-level business priorities with the practical realities of Cloud, Data and AI transformation. I hope to contribute an enterprise perspective to developing practical AI governance frameworks that bridge strategy, technology and execution across global markets.

Ammar Jaffri

I joined AIGC to contribute my experience in digital transformation and Pakistan's technology ecosystem to a broader international dialogue on AI governance. I see AIGC as a platform for connecting national digital priorities with global expertise and for strengthening practical cooperation between the Global North and Global South.

Kgolo Mbangi

I joined AIGC because AI governance must reflect the institutional realities and perspectives of Africa and the wider Global South. I hope to contribute an African institutional lens to global policy dialogue while helping advance governance approaches grounded in accountability, sovereignty, inclusion and sustainable development.

Prof. Dr. Adnan Noor Mian

I joined AIGC to contribute to the connection between research, technology, implementation and public policy in the development of trustworthy AI. Drawing on my experience across academia, technology and institutional policymaking, I hope to support responsible innovation, cybersecurity, human oversight and inclusive AI development across the Global North and Global South.

Air Vice Marshal Asad Ikram (R)

I joined AIGC to contribute my experience across research and development, national innovation ecosystems, aerospace technology and technology capacity building. I hope to support stronger connections between AI governance, innovation, institutional capability, youth development and technology entrepreneurship, particularly within emerging markets.

Ivica Srncevic

I joined AIGC to explore how AI governance can preserve meaningful human and institutional control over information, knowledge and decision-making in an increasingly autonomous AI environment. I hope to contribute research and practical frameworks around AI sovereignty, knowledge infrastructure, AI visibility and human oversight to the global governance dialogue.
