The U.N. Secretary-General's envoy on technology, Amandeep Gill, discussed with Fox News Digital the need to try and align global policy on the emerging artificial intelligence technology, which has "tremendous" potential. The United Nations sees an urgent need for an artificial intelligence (AI) watchdog group but understands that member states must first align on general policies and interests before any such agency could form. "The urgency is very clear in the U.N.'s perspective," Under-Secretary-General and U.N. Tech Envoy Amandeep Gill told Fox News Digital in an interview. Gill has led the way on the U.N.'s efforts to establish an advisory committee on AI policy, which the organization expects to have up and running by the end of the year. The committee is something the U.N. can establish since it has no governing power, and any watchdog agency must come from the member states and the U.N. can only act with what power the members provide it.
