UN chief supports creation of AI watchdog body

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres late on Monday expressed support for establishing an AI watchdog body akin to the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Guterres stressed the need to address the significant harm caused by digital platforms filled with misinformation alongside the concerns over advancements in artificial intelligence, proposing an international code of conduct as a solution. “They must not distract us from the damage digital technology is already doing to our world,” he said.
