Dozens of Countries Call for International AI Oversight at UN Meeting
Nearly twenty countries urged the United Nations General Assembly to implement international safety measures against the unchecked development of artificial intelligence, warning of serious risks if the technology escapes human control. The signatories, including Canada, Germany, Australia, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, called for transparent security protocols and the potential creation of an international institution to set standards and verify compliance. They emphasized that AI must remain under human direction and align with international law. Major players such as the United States, China, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, and India did not sign the declaration. The issue of AI's impact on employment and cybersecurity is currently on the agenda of the UN General Assembly in New York.
