UN chief António Guterres has urged swift global action on AI governance, calling for the immediate creation of an independent scientific panel. Speaking at the 3rd AI Summit in Paris, he stressed the need for a unified approach to AI regulation to ensure it serves humanity’s best interests.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres on Tuesday called for urgent international action to regulate artificial intelligence, urging world leaders to back the immediate establishment of a global scientific panel.
Speaking at the 3rd AI Summit in Paris, he stressed the need for a unified approach to AI governance and emphasized the crucial role of an independent panel in shaping AI’s future. The panel would work to enhance global understanding of AI, addressing its risks, benefits, capabilities, and opportunities while closing knowledge gaps.
Guterres pointed to the Global Digital Compact, adopted during last September’s Summit of the Future, as a major step toward international AI governance. He noted that this framework aligns efforts worldwide to ensure AI remains a tool for humanity’s benefit rather than a force that dictates its course.
Additionally, he highlighted the need for inclusivity in AI policymaking, emphasizing that UN member states have committed to fostering a global dialogue on AI governance, allowing all nations to contribute to shaping AI’s future.
