AI’s double-edged sword: UN leaders weigh its promise and peril
The rise of artificial intelligence took center stage at Wednesday’s meeting of the U.N. Security Council, with world leaders and diplomats acknowledging AI’s nearly immeasurable capabilities while urging caution about its potential harms in nefarious hands, as well as possible dangers involving military use of the technology.
“The question is not whether AI will influence international peace and security, but how we will shape its influence used responsibly,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in opening remarks at Wednesday’s meeting.
