Technological and digital progress have transformed various realms of computing, human endeavors, and industries. It is evident that over the past few years, exponential disruptive technologies have had a direct impact on global events, influencing both social dynamics and productivity.

Key areas of transformative impact include cloud computing, cybersecurity, 5G technology, and notably, the robust development of the artificial intelligence (AI) market. This influence extends to both consumption and the production of solutions, assets, and comprehensive services for individuals and businesses in sectors such as health, education, security, agro-industry, and employment.

This book aims to identify specific guidelines and relevant actions taken by multilateral international organizations concerning artificial intelligence (AI) and its widespread application across various global domains. Consequently, many organizations have formulated and implemented policies to govern the use and integration of AI into the daily aspects of human life.

The book delves into three primary lines of development:

1. International Agreements in the Field of Artificial Intelligence: An exploration of general details about AI, including its concepts and principles.
2. Lines of Action by Multilateral Organisms and Other Organizations: An examination of efforts and initiatives by various international bodies in response to artificial intelligence.
3. Studies and International Indexes Related to Artificial Intelligence: A discussion of research findings and global indices associated with AI.

The first section provides an overview of AI fundamentals, such as concepts and principles. Subsequently, we detail its global development and outline the initiatives undertaken by diverse international organizations in response to the rise of AI. Finally, the chapter highlights specific agreements, efforts, and global indices associated with AI.
