UN Passes First-Ever Artificial Intelligence Resolution
UN Passes First-Ever Artificial Intelligence
Resolution
The first global resolution on artificial
intelligence (AI) was overwhelmingly accepted by the UN General Assembly on
March 24, 2024. The resolution, which is supported by 123 nations—including
China, Cuba, and Russia—and the United States is intended to guarantee that the
potent new technology is reliable, safe, and secure—while also benefiting all
countries and upholding human rights.
Context
Concerns over AI's possible advantages and
disadvantages, as well as how it may affect democratic processes, personal data
protection, and human rights, have been raised by the technology's quick
development. The resolution is the most recent in a line of actions taken by
governments worldwide to control the advancement of AI and lessen its possible
risks.
Principal Goals
Closing the digital divide between developed and
developing nations; ensuring that these nations have the technology and
capacity to benefit from artificial intelligence; protecting human rights and
personal data; keeping an eye out for potential risks and harms associated with
AI; fortifying privacy policies; and fostering global collaboration are just a
few of the major goals that the resolution aims to achieve.
Over the previous few months, the United States and
more than 120 other UN members—including Cuba, China, and Russia—negotiated the
resolution's text. The resolution's unanimous ratification shows how committed
everyone is to regulating AI and making sure technology is developed and used
responsibly.
Effects on Underdeveloped Nations
In order to guarantee that all nations have a voice
in discussions on artificial intelligence, the resolution places a strong
emphasis on the necessity of bridging the digital divide between industrialized
and poor nations. Additionally, it seeks to give poor nations the tools and
resources they need to benefit
from AI, including the ability to diagnose illnesses, forecast floods,
assist farmers, and educate the next generation of workers.
Crucial Information for Exams
Since the resolution is not legally binding, member
states are not affected by it.
In terms of AI legislation, Europe is ahead of the
US; this month, EU lawmakers approved a temporary deal to supervise the
technology.
Despite the Biden administration's persistent
efforts, the divisive US Congress has not moved much toward regulating
artificial intelligence.
Using a new executive order that served as a
foundational set of guidelines for future developments in AI research and
application, the White House aimed to strengthen national security while
lowering the risks that AI poses to workers, consumers, and minorities in
October.
