The US has introduced a resolution at the United Nations promoting “safe, secure and trustworthy” artificial intelligence systems, an effort to align global regulations intended to address legal, national security and human rights concerns over the technology’s rapid expansion.
The proposal to the General Assembly encourages members to support “responsible and inclusive” AI development through domestic regulations and governance, according to a draft seen by Bloomberg News. The resolution, which is co-sponsored by more than 50 nations, would be nonbinding.
