UN Touts Panel for 'Human Control' of AI as Leaders Weigh Message
The UN panel aims to ensure human control of AI and address risks like job disruption and energy use, while promoting science-led governance, officials said.
- On Feb 20, the UN unveiled a new scientific panel with 40 members, confirmed by the UN General Assembly, to make human control of AI a technical reality.
- Framing the summit, organizers promoted the `Less hype, less fear` message and science-led governance to manage risks like job disruption, online abuse, and data-centre energy use.
- At the Delhi summit, organizers highlighted it as the first AI summit in a developing country and the fourth annual global meeting, with India expecting more than US$200 billion in investments and joining the US-led `Pax Silica` initiative.
- Guterres cautioned that `We are barrelling into the unknown` as top tech CEOs debated trade-offs, warning centralisation could `lead to ruin` while Sam Altman said tight rules might hold the US back.
