The UN General Assembly adopted a draft resolution prepared by US representatives to promote AI development. The resolution says that the UN must seize the opportunity to create safe, secure, and trustworthy artificial intelligence systems, which must also guarantee “sustainable development” for all people worldwide.
The draft was co-sponsored or backed by more than 120 UN Member States, including China. Due to its massive sponsorship, the UN adopted the resolution without a vote. According to the US National Security Advisor, this unprecedented attempt to regulate an emerging field in advanced technology can be a “historic” step forward for safe AI.
