Guterres considers it necessary to ensure transparency, security and control over the development and use of artificial intelligence (AI) by people who can be held accountable, so he seeks to bring together international guidelines and standards, national regulatory frameworks and technical standards. within a framework that facilitates the “agile” management of these new technologies.
In general, Guterres seeks cooperation between the authorities and the industry itself.
Thus, among the proposed actions is the urgent launch of research work with companies to ensure the safety of AI systems and their compliance with human values, or the creation of a high-level advisory group with experts who meet regularly to address these issues.
In addition, he asks governments to develop – together with industry – guidelines to guide AI development, or commit themselves to increase transparency and involve human rights and ethics groups in this work.
Finally, the UN chief calls for consideration of “bans on the use of technological applications whose potential or impact cannot be justified under international human rights law,” although he did not elaborate.
Over the past few years, the UN Secretary General has warned, for example, about the dangers of so-called autonomous weapons, military systems controlled by artificial intelligence that can make their own decisions when carrying out an attack.
