UN Security Council to hold first talks on AI risks this week

United Nations Security Council is holding its first formal debate on artificial intelligence this week in New York, and Britain is set to call for an international dialogue on the impact of artificial intelligence on world peace and security.

According to Reuters, governments around the world are studying how to mitigate the risks of emerging artificial intelligence technology, which could reshape the global economy and change the landscape of international security.

Britain holds the rotating presidency of the UN Security Council this month and is seeking a global leadership role in regulating the use of artificial intelligence.

British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly will chair the debate on Tuesday

In June, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres endorsed a proposal made by some AI executives to create an international AI watchdog along the lines of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
