UN General Assembly
United Nations General Assembly has adopted the first global AI Resolution (65 states were involved in sponsoring the draft).
Here are some of the key takeaways:
It's crucial that AI is safe, secure, and trustworthy.
AI has the potential to accelerate progress towards the SDGs.
International cooperation and collaboration will be crucial in developing regulatory and governance frameworks for AI.
Access to AI must be equitable, ensuring that everyone benefits from AI and that it bridges existing inequalities rather than widening them.
Human rights and fundamental freedoms must be respected and protected throughout the AI life cycle.
DE&I outcomes must be considered when deploying AI systems and tools.
The resolution also highlights key measures for addressing the risks associated with AI, such as discrimination and privacy concerns.
Data governance and management are crucial for creating a secure AI lifecycle.
Collaboration between the public (civil society) and private sectors is encouraged, with an emphasis on promoting fair and inclusive AI ecosystems.
The resolution calls on UN agencies to enhance their response to AI challenges.
