The head of British diplomacy, James Cleverley, who presided over the meeting, given that his country is chairing the UN Security Council in July, said that "AI will fundamentally change every aspect of people's lives".
The UN Security Council held its first session on artificial intelligence (AI), after the UK called for an international dialogue on the impact of AI on global peace and security.
At the session, representatives of China said that technology should not become a "double-edged sword", while US officials warned of the possibility of using AI as a means of censorship and repression.
The head of British diplomacy, James Cleverly, who presided over the meeting, given that his country is presiding over the UN Security Council in July, said that "AI will fundamentally change every aspect of people's lives," Reuters reported.
The fifteen-member Security Council was also addressed by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, co-founder of the AI startup "Anthropic" Jack Clark, as well as Professor Zeng Yi from the Sino-British Research Center for AI Ethics and Leadership.
Guterres estimated that both military and civilian use of AI could have serious consequences for global peace and security.
He supported the proposals of certain countries to form a new body within the UN that would deal with the management of AI.
China's ambassador to the UN, Jiang Yun, described AI as a "double-edged sword", adding that Beijing believes the UN should play a central role in coordinating AI and establishing guiding principles for the technology.
Deputy US Ambassador to the UN Jeffrey DeLaurentis stated that there is a need to ensure that states work together to prevent AI and other advanced developing technologies from negatively impacting human rights.
"No member state should use AI to censor, restrain, repress and disempower people," DeLaurentis said.
