Can AI See Me? The case for plural AI heads to the UN's Global Dialogue

Three weeks ago, RadicalxChange founder E. Glen Weyl argued in The Economist that AI will only serve humanity well if the people building it engage the world’s faiths and cultures as partners, designing technology that strengthens diverse communities instead of imposing one worldview on everyone.

On Monday 6 July, we are bringing that argument to the first session of the United Nations Global Dialogue on AI Governance. We’re co-convening an official virtual side event, “Can AI See Me?”, with our friends at Parity, Sikh LGBT+ Inclusion and Free Community Church, faith leaders and peacebuilders who have been living these questions long before AI made them urgent.

The problem: AI that doesn’t see you

When you ask an AI a question with no factual answer — a family dilemma, an ethical judgment, a matter of practice or belief — its values shape the response. And those values are not neutral. Recent analysis finds that frontier AI models cluster in the worldview of wealthy, secular, Western societies and reflect the outlook of almost no major faith community. For much of humanity, that means daily interaction with systems that quietly treat someone else’s assumptions as the default. Faith leaders across traditions have begun naming that feeling of being unseen.

A session where the audience are the authors

After short lived-experience testimony from faith leaders in the UK, Singapore, and the US, Glen and Jess will open a live Pol.is deliberation around one question: what would AI governance need to do so that everyone in this room felt seen by AI?

The deliberation stays open for 24 hours after the session. Then a Quadratic Voting round asks participants to weigh the real tensions — personalization versus protection, pluralism versus capability — and set shared priorities. The result — the participant-authored “Geneva Reflection” principles — will be submitted to the Dialogue’s Joint Secretariat, carrying perspectives from communities too often absent from the rooms where AI is decided.

Who you’ll hear from

• Rev. Dr. Marian Edmonds-Allen (USA) — Executive Director of Parity; creator of the Personal Moral Compass, a framework for bringing your values and context into AI interactions
• Pritpal Bhullar (UK) — Co-Chair, LGBT+ International FoRB Coalition
• Pastor Pauline Ong (Singapore) — Executive Pastor, Free Community Church
• E. Glen Weyl (USA) — RadicalxChange founder; co-author of Plurality with Audrey Tang
• Jess Scully (Australia) — RadicalxChange; facilitator of the live deliberation

Come ready to participate

The session runs 45 minutes and your voice is part of the design. Registrants will also receive an optional five-minute values-discernment exercise built on the Personal Moral Compass — a small preview of what it feels like when an AI starts by asking who you are.
