The UN has unveiled a new 39-member global advisory body, led by UN Secretary-General António Guterres, to oversee the governance of artificial intelligence. Guterres believes that AI has the potential to advance climate action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, as well as helping to better serve populations in need. However, it must be harnessed responsibly to prevent global inequalities and the malicious use of AI that could undermine trust in institutions and threaten democracy. The advisory body will provide preliminary recommendations by the end of the year to maximize the benefits of AI and minimize its risks. #AI #GoverningAI #UN #ProgressForHumanity
