President Biden and Vice President Harris participate in an event highlighting the Administration’s commitment to advancing the safe, secure, and trustworthy development and use of Artificial Intelligence.

Towards an ethical and responsible use of AI

We have seen extraordinary advances in the capabilities and use of artificial intelligence (AI). AI holds the potential to multiply productivity in many sectors and to improve public services, but it could also threaten global stability and undermine our values. These risks are the topic of the AI Safety Summit hosted by the UK government (1-2 November). The UN Secretary-General has asked experts in his AI Advisory Body to issue recommendations on the international governance of artificial intelligence, its risks and challenges and how to leverage AI to accelerate the delivery of the SDGs.

High-level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence

 

• The Glol AbaI Imperative
  Globally coordinated AI governance is the only way to harness AI for humanity, while addressing its risks and uncertainties, as AI-related applications, algorithms, computing capacity and expertise become more widespread internationally.
   
• The UN's Response
  To foster a globally inclusive approach, the UN Secretary-General is convening a multi-stakeholder High-level Advisory Body on AI to undertake analysis and advance recommendations for the international governance of AI.
   
• Calling for Interdisciplinary Expertise
  Bringing together up to 38 experts in relevant disciplines from around the world, the Body will offer diverse perspectives and options on how AI can be governed for the common good, aligning internationally interoperable governance with human rights and the Sustainable Development Goals.
   
• A Multistakeholder, Networked Approach
  The Body, which will comprise experts from government, private sector and civil society, will engage and consult widely with existing and emerging initiatives and international organizations, to bridge perspectives across stakeholder groups and networks.
   
• Supporting the Body
  The UN is calling for support to the Body’s operations and the Secretariat, based in the Office of the Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology (OSET). Through their support, contributors will strengthen stakeholder cooperation on governing AI in the face of pressing technical breakthroughs, and thereby contribute to better-governed AI globally.
