U.N. discusses implications of artificial intelligence
NEW YORK – The United Nations Security Council for the first time addressed the global implications of artificial intelligence (AI).
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that AI has the potential to cause “horrific levels of death and destruction.”
He warned that it could “enable “a new level of authoritarian surveillance”
Guterres, however, also said AI could contribute between $10 trillion and $15 trillion to the global economy by 2030.
He welcomed calls by some member states for the creation of a new U.N. body to support collaborative efforts to master this extraordinary technology.
Jack Clark, co-founder of AI company Anthropic, told the council that artificial intelligence development should not be left solely to the private sector.
Professor Zeng Yi, director of the brain-inspired Cognitive Intelligence Lab, said AI should never pretend to be human.
British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly called for global governance of artificial intelligence.
He announced that the U.K. plans to bring world leaders together this fall for the first major global summit on AI security.
The UN Security Council concluded that AI has the potential to be a force for both good and evil.
Members called on the international community to work together to ensure that AI is used for the benefit of humanity.
