Artificial intelligence joins the list of great and complex global challenges that world leaders and diplomats will face in the high -level United Nations meeting of this week.
Since I started the artificial intelligence boom with the emergence of ChatgPT about three years ago, the picturesque capabilities of the world have stunned. Technology companies are racing to develop the largest and best artificial intelligence systems even as experts warn of their dangers, including existential threats such as engineering epidemics and extensive discrimination information, and claim guarantees.
The United Nations ’adoption of the new architecture of governance is the latest and largest effort to curb artificial intelligence. The previous multilateral efforts, including three remains of Amnesty International, organized by Britain, South Korea and France, have not only performed in non -binding pledges.
Last month, the General Assembly adopted a decision to create a major body on artificial intelligence – a global forum and an independent scientific committee of experts – in a teacher’s move to global governance efforts to technology.
On Wednesday, the United Nations Security Council meeting will attract an open discussion on this issue. Among the questions to be addressed: How can the Council help ensure the responsible application of artificial intelligence to comply with international law and support peace and dispute prevention?
On Thursday, as part of the commission’s annual meeting, United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guterres will hold a meeting to launch the forum, called global dialogue on artificial intelligence governance.
It is a place for governments and “stakeholders” to discuss international cooperation and exchange ideas and solutions. It is scheduled to meet in Geneva next year and in New York in 2027.
Meanwhile, employment is expected to succeed to find 40 experts in the Scientific Committee, including two participating chairs, one from a developed country and one from a developing country. The committee conducted comparisons with the United Nations Climate Change Committee and the leading annual police meeting.
The new bodies are a “symbolic victory”. They are “to a large extent the most comprehensive approach in the world in managing artificial intelligence,” written by Isabella Wilkenson, a research colleague at the London Research House, in A, in A. Blog post.
“But in practice, the new mechanisms seem to be mostly helpless,” she added. Among the possible issues whether the United Nations wood administration is able to organize a fast -moving technology such as artificial intelligence.
Before the meeting, a group of influential experts called on governments to agree on the so -called red lines to become the effect by the end of next year, saying that technology needs a “lower handrail” designed to prevent “the most urgent and unacceptable risks.”
The group, including the major employees of Chatgpt Maker Openai, the GOOGLE Research Laboratory and the Chatbot maker, want governments to sign an internationally binding agreement on artificial intelligence. They point out that the world previously agreed to treaties prohibiting nuclear tests, biological weapons and protecting the high seas.
“The idea is very simple,” said one of the supporters. “As we do with drugs and nuclear power plants, we can ask developers to prove safety as a condition for reaching the markets.”
Russell suggested that the United Nations governance can resemble the actions of another non -follow -up body, which is the International Civil Aviation Organization, which coordinates with safety organizers in various countries and ensures that they all work on the same page.
Instead of setting a set of rules specified in the stone, diplomats can develop a flexible “framework agreement” sufficiently to be updated to reflect the latest progress in artificial intelligence.
