UN Secretary-General Guterres urged global cooperation to establish safeguards
for artificial intelligence ahead of the UN General Assembly high-level week,
saying AI’s potential is large but development is outpacing understanding of its
risks. He noted some developers have called for pauses or formal safeguards and
said governments must take responsibility; because AI and its risks cross
borders, isolated, unverifiable and unevenly enforced voluntary pauses will not
resolve the problem.
