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.

Guterres pointed to the Global Digital Compact, adopted during last September’s Summit of the Future, as a major step toward international AI governance.
