GENEVA, July 6 : The United Nations secretary general on Monday warned that AI is developing faster than anyone can keep up, urging the need for globally harmonised rules to reduce potential risks – especially to children.
“A technology that can reshape economies, transform the world of work, sway elections and tilt the balance of security is being deployed faster than anyone – including the people building it – can keep up,” Antonio Guterres told delegates at the first-ever government-level global dialogue on AI in Geneva.
