“The AI is no longer a distant horizon, it is here, Transforming daily life, the space of information and the global economy at an impressive speed“Guterres said in the high -level debate of the Council on technology security implications to transform war.
“The question is not whether IA will influence international peace and security, but how we will shape that influence.”
Used in a responsible manner, said the UN Chief, AI can help anticipate food insecurity, support mining operations and identify outbreaks of violence before it is disconnected.
“But Without railings, you can also assemble“He warned, pointing to the orientation enabled for AI in recent conflicts, cyber attacks on critical infrastructure and deep defects capable of feeding polarization or deranging diplomacy.
“The ability to manufacture and manipulate audio and video threatens the integrity of information, combines polarization and can trigger diplomatic crises… The destiny of humanity cannot be left to an algorithm, ”he said.
Decisions must rest with us
Mr. Guterres established four priorities for governments: maintain human control over the use of force, build coherent global regulatory frameworks, protect the integrity of information and close what he called the “AI capacity gap” between rich and poor nations.
“Reiterates my call to the prohibition of lethal systems of autonomous weapons that operate without human controlIn order to conclude a legally binding instrument for next year, ”he said.
He also insisted that nuclear weapons decisions “must rest with humans, not machines.”
The Secretary General highlighted the steps already in progress, including the creation of an independent scientific panel on AI and a new global dialogue about the AI government, which will take place in New York on Thursday.
“Together, these initiatives aim to connect science, politics and practice.; Provide each country with a seat on the table; and reduce fragmentation, ”he said.
A call to expand access
Yejin Choi, the main member of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence centered on humans at Stanford University, told the Security Council that the current progress in AI is too concentrated among a handful of companies and countries.
“When only a few have the resources to build and benefit from AI, we leave the rest of the world waiting at the door,” he said.
“Let’s expand what intelligence can be – And let everyone have a role in construction everywhere. “
Ai must reinforce inclusion
Mrs. Choi urged international governments and institutions to invest in alternative approaches beyond climbing increasing models, arguing that smaller and more adaptive systems could reduce entry barriers.

He also pressed for a stronger representation of linguistic and cultural diversity, noting that today’s main models “have a lower performance for many languages that are not English and reflect narrow cultural assumptions.”
Act without delay
Secretary General Guterres closed when warning to the window so that the effective regulation is closing rapidly.
“From the control of nuclear weapons to the safety of aviation, the international community has increased the challenge of technologies that could destabilize our societies, accepting the rules, building institutions and insisting on human dignity,” he said.
“The window is closing to shape AI, for peace, for justice, for humanity. We must act without delay.“
