“At a time when it seems the international community can agree on very little, deliberations on AI at the United Nations have demonstrated the world’s appetite for building a new digital age that is safe, inclusive, and grounded in the body’s charter and founding principles. Any beneficial outcomes from AI are not inherent to the technology. AI must be actively shaped to benefit humanity across its lifecycle, from the use of natural resources to design to deployment.”
