"UN Adopts Landmark Resolution for Safe Development of Artificial Intelligence"

The United Nations General Assembly has unanimously adopted the first global resolution on artificial intelligence, urging countries to protect human rights, personal data, and monitor AI for risks. The nonbinding resolution, proposed by the United States and co-sponsored by China and over 120 other nations, aims to govern AI development and use. This comes as governments worldwide seek to shape AI's development amid concerns about potential disruptions to democratic processes, fraud, job losses, and other harms. The resolution represents a baseline set of principles to guide next steps in AI's development and use, with the U.S. and EU already taking steps towards AI regulation.
