Dozens of Countries Call at UN Meeting for International AI Oversight
Nearly twenty countries urged the UN General Assembly to implement international safety measures against the unchecked development of artificial intelligence, citing serious security risks if technology escapes human control. The declaration, signed by nations including Canada, Germany, and Australia, calls for transparent protocols and potential new international institutions, though major powers like the US and China did not sign. Concurrently, British Columbia filed a lawsuit against OpenAI regarding its role in a fatal shooting where the perpetrator used ChatGPT to plan the attack. BC Justice Minister Niki Sharma criticized OpenAI for refusing to release chat logs and failing to take meaningful steps to prevent future tragedies, despite CEO Sam Altman’s expressed regret over the company's lack of police contact.
