The United Nations Security Council made history with its first-ever meeting focused on artificial intelligence.
As the world acknowledges the transformative power of AI, global leaders and experts convened to discuss its potential risks and opportunities.
AI’s far-reaching impact on humanity was emphasized during the meeting, with China cautioning against it becoming a “runaway horse,” while the United States warned against using AI to suppress people’s rights.
The British Foreign Secretary, James Cleverly, who presided over the summit, stressed the urgent need to shape global governance for transformative technologies as AI knows no borders.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and experts from prominent AI firms shed light on the dual nature of AI’s applications.
While it holds promise in addressing climate change and boosting economies, it also poses challenges in terms of disinformation and potential misuse for military purposes.
The landmark meeting further delved into assessing AI risks across various domains, including cybersecurity, military use, and safeguarding human rights.
