UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warmly welcomed the UN General Assembly's decision to establish two new mechanisms within the United Nations to promote international cooperation on the governance of artificial intelligence (AI), his spokesman Stephan Dujarric said on Tuesday.
The establishment of the United Nations Independent International Scientific Panel on AI and the Global Dialogue on AI Governance marks a significant step forward in global efforts to harness the benefits of AI while addressing its risks, Dujarric said at a daily briefing.
"This pathbreaking milestone underlines Member States' commitment to build on the Global Digital Compact adopted as part of the Pact for the Future in September 2024," he said.
Dujarric said the Global Dialogue on AI Governance will provide an inclusive platform within the United Nations for states and stakeholders to discuss the critical issues concerning AI facing humanity today, and the Scientific Panel on AI will serve as a crucial bridge between cutting-edge AI research and policymaking.
