The United Nations General Assembly unanimously approved the first-ever resolution on artificial intelligence. Spearheaded by the United States and co-sponsored by 123 nations, the resolution aims to establish an international framework ensuring AI benefits are universally accessible, respect human rights, and prioritize safety and trustworthiness.
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken commended the resolution as a significant step in establishing guiding principles for AI focused on public interest and safety. President Joe Biden had previously expressed the U.S.' commitment to international collaboration for positive AI usage.
While not legally binding, the unanimous support from all 193 U.N. member nations indicates a global recognition of the profound impact of AI. U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield noted the resolution's importance in advancing effective governance of AI technology through international cooperation.
