Not UN’s role to regulate AI, says Guterres as world body plans annual global dialogue
Secretary General Antonio Guterres emphasized that the UN is not responsible for regulating AI, but will host an annual global dialogue on AI with participation from governments, private sector, and civil society. He highlighted three key areas of focus: a new independent international scientific panel on AI, a voluntary global fund to support developing countries in AI capacity building, and a platform for global discussion on maximizing AI opportunities while minimizing risks. Guterres will attend the India AI Impact Summit, where he will meet with Indian leaders and other global tech figures. The summit is expected to address topics such as AI for resilient agriculture, health systems innovation, ethical governance, women's leadership in technology, digital capacity-building, and responsible business practices.
