The UN adopts a resolution backing efforts to ensure artificial intelligence is safe


The goal is ensuring the powerful new technology benefits all nations, respects human rights and is “safe, secure and trustworthy.”

It also aims to make sure that developing countries have the technology and capabilities to take advantage of AI’s benefits, including detecting diseases, predicting floods, helping farmers, and training the next generation of workers. Sullivan told AP the United States turned to the General Assembly “to have a truly global conversation on how to manage the implications of the fast-advancing technology of AI.” The resolution encourages all countries, regional and international organizations, tech communities, civil society, the media, academia, research institutions and individuals “to develop and support regulatory and governance approaches and frameworks” for safe AI systems.
