This chapter examines the global governance of artificial intelligence (AI) through the lens of the Global AI Divide, focusing on disparities in AI development, innovation, and regulation. It highlights systemic inequities in education, digital infrastructure, and access to decision-making processes, perpetuating a dependency and exclusion cycle for Global Majority countries. The analysis also explores the dominance of Western nations and corporations in shaping AI governance frameworks, which often sideline the unique priorities and contexts of the Global Majority. Additionally, this chapter identifies emerging countertrends, such as national and regional AI strategies, as potential avenues for fostering equity and inclusivity in global AI governance. The chapter concludes with actionable recommendations to democratize AI governance for Majority World countries, emphasizing the importance of systemic reforms, resource redistribution, and meaningful participation. It calls for collaborative action to ensure AI governance becomes a catalyst for shared prosperity, addressing global disparities rather than deepening them.

翻译：本章通过全球人工智能鸿沟的视角审视人工智能（AI）的全球治理，重点关注AI发展、创新与监管方面的差距。文章揭示了教育、数字基础设施及决策过程参与机会中的系统性不平等，这些不平等使全球多数群体国家长期陷入依赖与排斥的循环。分析同时探讨了西方国家及企业在塑造AI治理框架中的主导地位，这种主导往往忽视全球多数群体的独特优先事项与具体情境。此外，本章识别了正在兴起的反趋势，例如国家与区域层面的AI战略，将其视为促进全球AI治理公平性与包容性的潜在途径。本章最后为多数世界国家提出了可操作的建议，以推动AI治理的民主化，强调系统性改革、资源再分配及实质性参与的重要性。文章呼吁采取协作行动，以确保AI治理成为促进共同繁荣的催化剂，致力于解决而非加剧全球不平等。
