'Safe, secure and trustworthy' AI a must, says document, but nothing in it ensures anyone plays along
" has the potential to unlock more progress, on more issues, for more people," US ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfieldin the General Assembly yesterday."But in order to mitigate risks for communities across the globe, we must approach this technology as a global community."
"Today, all 193 members of the UN General Assembly spoke with one voice – and together, adopted a resolution on artificial intelligence for sustainable development," Thomas-Greenfield The resolution, which states it only addresses AI in the"non-military domain," also calls for establishment of a global consensus on what makes a safe, secure and trustworthy AI as well as the creation of international standards to that end.
Additionally, the resolution asks member states that are further along in AI development to ensure they work with developing countries to ensure they aren't left behind as AI technology proliferates. The UNit is urging members"to cooperate with and support developing countries so they can benefit from inclusive and equitable access, close the digital divide, and increase digital literacy.
Rules defining what AI can and can't do, it's worth pointing out, are scarce in the US, which introduced the UN resolution itself.
