We all know that AI can be a technology that changes everything for the better, but we also know that it has more than enough potential to be used in undesirable ways and destroy all the beauty in this world. Its regulation will determine the future of humanity. No half measures.
Luckily for us, a United Nations report published today proposes that an international body oversee the first truly global effort to monitor and govern artificial intelligence.
The report, prepared by the UN Secretary-General’s High-Level Advisory Body on AI, recommends the creation of a body similar to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to gather updated information on AI and its risks.
Let all the countries of the world have a say on AI, the challenge of our century
The report calls for a new political dialogue on AI so that the 193 UN members can discuss the risks and agree on measures. It also recommends that the UN take steps to ensure that poorer countries can benefit from AI and contribute to its governance.
These measures include the creation of an AI fund to support projects in these countries, the establishment of AI standards and data exchange systems, and the creation of resources such as training to help countries in AI governance.
Some of the recommendations from the report could be facilitated through the Digital Global Compact, an existing plan to address digital and data gaps between nations.
Finally, it suggests the creation of an AI office within the UN dedicated to coordinating existing efforts within the UN to meet the objectives of the report.
The remarkable capabilities demonstrated by large language models and chatbots in recent years have sparked hopes of a revolution in economic productivity, but they have also led some experts to warn that AI may be developing too quickly and could soon become difficult to control.
Shortly after the appearance of ChatGPT, many scientists and entrepreneurs signed a letter calling for a six-month pause in the development of the technology to assess the risks.
The United Nations wants to address this problem called AI before it’s too late, although many wonder if it isn’t already too late.
