Amandeep Singh Gill

Ambassador Amandeep Singh Gill stands at the confluence of diplomacy and technology, representing the world’s collective voice on digital and AI governance. Appointed as the United Nations secretary-general’s envoy on technology, he plays a crucial role in shaping global conversations around responsible, inclusive and ethical use of technology, particularly in artificial intelligence.

With a distinguished background as an Indian diplomat and technologist, Gill brings a unique combination of geopolitical insight and technical acumen to the table.

Gill has been a key architect of global AI frameworks, co-chairing the UN secretary-general’s high-level panel on digital cooperation and leading the International Digital Health and AI Research Collaborative (I-DAIR). His work has consistently focused on ensuring that AI and emerging technologies do not deepen existing inequalities but instead become tools for empowerment across nations, especially in the Global South.

Hailing from India’s diplomatic corps, Gill’s early engagement with nuclear disarmament and internet governance shaped his approach to tech diplomacy—rooted in equity, human rights, and international cooperation. As the UN envoy, he works across governments, private sectors and civil society to align digital progress with the UN’s sustainable development goals.
