00:48 UN Council to hold first global peace meeting on potential threats of artificial intelligence.

00:57 With the rise and advent of commercialized artificial intelligence, the UN Security Council

01:02 would delve into the potential threats this technology poses to international peace and

01:07 security.

01:09 This groundbreaking meeting, scheduled on July 18 in the hallowed halls of the United

01:13 Nations, would be a testament to the rise of AI and recognition of its impact as a double-edged

01:20 sword.

01:21 On the one hand, AI holds immense promise, it can revolutionize UN development programs,

01:28 streamline humanitarian aid operations, bolster peacekeeping efforts, and even help bridge

01:35 the gap between developing and developed nations.

01:39 But on the other hand, it presents significant risks.

01:43 The specter of AI-controlled autonomous weapons and nuclear arsenals looms large, raising

01:49 serious security and ethical questions.

01:52 UK Ambassador Barbara Woodward would emphasize the need for a global effort to manage the

01:58 opportunities and risks AI presents.

02:01 Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres would highlight the race-takes of this situation

02:09 by likening the existential threat of advanced AI to the early years of nuclear war.

02:15 As the world stands on the precipice of an AI-driven future, this pivotal meeting would

02:20 start a long series of discussions on AI regulation.

02:24 Britain's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced that the UK will host a summit on AI later

02:30 this year, where an AI-focused global multilateral discussion will begin.
