UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the world “cannot afford a race to the bottom” on artificial intelligence safety.
Speaking ahead of next week’s UN General Assembly session in New York, Guterres said artificial intelligence had the potential to accelerate sustainable development, improve education and healthcare, and strengthen climate resilience.
However, the UN chief stressed that people directly involved in developing the technology had also expressed concerns about its future. “We cannot ignore the concerns voiced by those at the forefront of artificial intelligence development,” Guterres said.
According to Guterres, safety mechanisms must be put in place to build trust in artificial intelligence. These mechanisms should make the technology safe, transparent and accountable while keeping human dignity at the center.
Guterres said artificial intelligence would be one of the key topics discussed by world leaders during the high-level week of the UN General Assembly. He stressed that governments had a responsibility to protect citizens from the potential threats posed by artificial intelligence.

Guterres made the remarks after a week of growing warnings about risks in the artificial intelligence industry.
Artificial intelligence is expected to remain a major issue at the UN General Assembly, where governments and international organizations are discussing how to ensure that rapidly advancing technologies support sustainable development while protecting people and fundamental rights.
