Organized by the Universal Postal Union (UPU) as part of the AI for Good Global Summit, this session explores how the United Nations can help shape the governance of agentic AI as supply chains become increasingly autonomous.

From customs and routing to last-mile delivery, agentic AI is transforming cross-border logistics. Bringing together experts from the UPU, the first Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence, UNEP and academia, the discussion will examine how multilateral cooperation can promote accountable, transparent and sustainable AI governance while supporting innovation and inclusive global trade.
