United Nations, United States—The UN General Assembly will turn its attention to artificial intelligence on Thursday, weighing a resolution that lays out the potentially transformational technology’s pros and cons while calling for the establishment of international standards.
The draft resolution, which is the first on the issue, was brought forth by the United States and will be submitted for approval by the assembly on Thursday. “It is easier to talk about how AI can help developing countries progress rather than tackle security and safety topics head-on as a first initiative,” he said.The draft text does highlight the technology’s threats when misused with the intent to cause harm, and also recognizes that without guarantees, AI risks eroding human rights, reinforcing prejudices and endangering personal data protection.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has made AI regulation a priority, calling for the creation of a UN entity modelled on other UN organizations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency .
