The UN's seven recommendations to tackle the "AI" challenges

The United Nations published a report with seven recommendations to address the risks associated with artificial intelligence. The UN emphasizes the need for transparency and global cooperation to increase governance capacity.

An artificial intelligence advisory body at the United Nations released its final report proposing seven recommendations to address the risks and gaps associated with new technology in governance.

The UN last year established a 39-member advisory group to address issues in the international governance of AI. The recommendations will be discussed during a UN summit to be held in September. The advisory body called for the creation of a panel to provide unbiased and reliable scientific knowledge about new technology and address information asymmetry.

Since ChatGPT's introduction of Microsoft-backed OpenAI in 2022, the use of artificial intelligence has spread rapidly, raising concerns about promoting misinformation, fake news and copyright infringement.

Only a handful of states have enacted laws to limit the spread of this technology. The European Union has been ahead of others in adopting a comprehensive Act, compared to the United States' approach of "voluntary compliance," while China has aimed to maintain social stability and state control.

The United States was among about 60 countries that adopted an "action draft" to govern the responsible use of artificial intelligence in the military on September 10, while China did not support the document.

The organization recommended a new policy dialogue, creating an exchange of technology standards and a global network to increase governance capacity.

Among other proposals, the UN wants to create a global fund that would address gaps in capacity and cooperation. It also calls for the formation of a global data framework to ensure transparency and accountability.
