As the development and use of AI (artificial intelligence) expands, the United States compiles the first resolution at the United Nations General Assembly calling on all UN member states to cooperate to ensure the safety and reliability of AI technology. It was adopted without a vote as the consensus of each country.
The draft resolution calls on all UN member states to work together on creating regulatory and management frameworks to ensure the safety and reliability of AI technology, and also calls for We are calling for support for developing countries in order to rectify the disparities in the world.
The resolution was compiled by the United States and submitted to the United Nations General Assembly, with over 120 countries including Japan co-sponsoring it.
Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly Hall in New York on the 21st, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Thomas Greenfield said that AI technology should be used to solve global issues such as climate change countermeasures, saying, ``We will not be ruled by technology.'' "We have an opportunity and a responsibility to govern technology by coming together, not by people," he said, urging everyone to support the resolution.
After this, there were no opposing opinions to the resolution from within the chamber, and it was adopted without a vote as the consensus of all countries.
According to the US, this is the first time a UN General Assembly resolution has been adopted regarding the safety and reliability of AI.
Regarding AI, there is a need to ensure the reliability of information such as the spread of false information, and the challenge is whether the international community can come together to build concrete regulations and management mechanisms. .
