World Trade Organization Hosts Global Trade and Tech Day Highlighting AI Inclusion

World Trade Organization leads a global conference titled World Trade and Tech Day, bringing together trade ministers, AI experts, and business leaders to discuss policies that ensure artificial intelligence supports inclusive trade practices worldwide.

AI Policy discussions focus on creating standards for data sharing, transparency, and ethical use of AI in cross‑border services, with participants citing the need to prevent market concentration and to protect small exporters from algorithmic bias.

UNCTAD report released during the event shows services now dominate global trade flows, yet least‑developed countries contribute less than 2 percent of digital exports, highlighting a widening gap in technology‑driven commerce.

Trade Experts stress that aligning AI regulations with existing WTO rules could streamline dispute resolution and foster fair competition, urging member states to adopt coordinated frameworks before AI‑driven trade disputes rise.
