The United Nations General Assembly accepted Thursday’s first Artificial Intelligence (AI) resolution. This is expected to strengthen international efforts to promote new technology. This will help make human life safer and more reliable.
The US presented a resolution related to AI in the General Assembly, which was accepted without voting. This means that the proposal received the support of all 193 member states of the General Assembly. During the preparations for the proposal, America’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that a historic step would be taken through the United Nations resolution to use AI safely.
Resolve To Make AI Technology An Effective Medium
The terms and conditions of the use of AI have been clarified in this resolution. AI is highly beneficial for humanity but has some major side effects. Provisions have been made in the passed proposal to achieve these benefits and to protect against ill effects. The General Assembly resolved to make AI technology an effective medium for engagement between rich and poor developing countries.
In making plans for international welfare through AI, countries of both categories will be at one table and able to express their views. Efforts will be made to ensure that developing countries get the maximum benefits of technology to achieve their development goals.
Farmers Can Also Be Helped
Many types of diseases can be detected with the use of AI. The severity of floods can be predicted in advance, farmers can be helped, and workers and employees can be given better training. This will help prevent losses due to natural causes and prepare skilled personnel.
With the General Assembly accepting the proposal and making detailed and clear rules, the pace of development of AI-related activities worldwide will likely accelerate. Also, countries will now get help in planning the use of technology. America and other developed countries will be able to better understand the advantages and disadvantages of technology, and the whole world will benefit from it.
AI Can Also Be Used In Governance
Now, the way has been cleared for the use of AI in governance and administration, and through this, a global communication system and working system can be created. Big companies in the technology sector have been saying there is a need for rules for using AI for a long time, and now, it will be easier for them to work. Notably, the European Union Parliament also approved the rules for using AI on March 13.
