An independent international scientific group created to assess the global impact of artificial intelligence aims to strengthen multilateral cooperation in the field of new technologies within the framework of the UN Pact for the Future and will become the first global, fully independent scientific body aimed at reducing knowledge gaps in the field of artificial intelligence.
According to the American bureau Report, this was announced by UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
‘The main goal of the body is to study the real impact of artificial intelligence on the economy and society, provide a reliable scientific assessment and form a common understanding between countries. The group will serve as an authoritative source to help distinguish facts from misinformation,’ he said.
The Secretary-General said that the members, selected from more than 2,600 candidates, represent fields such as the study of intelligent devices, data management, healthcare, cybersecurity and human rights, and will operate independently.
The group will work at an accelerated pace, and the first report is expected to be presented at the Global Dialogue on AI Governance in July this year. The work of the secretariat will be coordinated by the Secretary-General’s Special Envoy, Amandip Gill.
