The dangers of generative AI were again the topic of high-level discussions among world leaders as the Secretary-General of the United Nations joined a growing chorus of voices calling for regulating the technology.
“Alarm bells over the latest form of artificial intelligence, generative AI, are deafening, and they are loudest from the developers who designed it,” António Guterres said in a press conference on Monday. “The scientists and experts have called on the world to act, declaring AI an existential threat to humanity on a par with the risk of nuclear war.”
“We must take those warnings seriously,” the UN Secretary-General said.
Guterres’ comments came the same day the UN released a report, “Information Integrity on Digital Platforms,” which underscored the need for responsible AI use and warning of the use of deepfakes in conflict zones.
Also today, the European Parliament passed what it’s describing as “the world’s first-ever AI legislation.”
Making history by shaping our future.
This is what today’s groundbreaking vote on the world’s first ever #AI legislation is all about.
