The UN's Warning: AI's Rapid Development Threatens Global Stability

The deputy prime minister of the UK, Oliver Dowden, has warned the United Nations that artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to destabilize the world order. He argued that governments are in a race against time to keep pace with technology, as global regulation is failing to keep up. Dowden called for a new form of multilateralism to manage the fast-developing technology and suggested that the international community should have some control over AI from tech firms. He emphasized that AI can be both beneficial and harmful, highlighting its potential in areas such as medicine and fighting climate change. The UK will host an AI safety summit in November, attended by world leaders and tech chiefs.
