UN Security Council debates risks, benefits of AI: 'Responsibility to future generations'
Proponents say such practices may help reduce use-of-force incidents. The United Nations Security Council held its first discussion on artificial intelligence (AI) and associated risks, with a number of leaders highlighting the dangerous potential the technology possesses in the wrong hands. "The malicious use of AI systems for terrorist, criminal or state purposes could cause horrific levels of deaths and destruction, widespread trauma and deep psychological damage on an unimaginable scale," U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in his remarks at the meeting. "Generative AI has enormous potential for good and evil at scale." "Its creators themselves have warned that much bigger, potentially catastrophic and existential risks lie ahead," he added.
