LONDON – This week, the United Nations Security Council will hold its first formal discussion on artificial intelligence (AI) in New York, with Britain calling for an international dialogue on the impact of AI on global peace and security.
Governments around the world are debating how to manage the risks posed by growing AI technology, which has the potential to restructure the global economy and alter the international security picture.
This month, Britain has the rotating presidency of the UN Security Council and has been pursuing global leadership in AI governance.
On Tuesday, British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly will preside over the meeting.
In June, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres approved a proposal by some AI executives to establish a worldwide AI oversight organisation similar to the worldwide Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
