The United Nations Council will hold the first-ever global peace meeting to tackle the potential threats Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings to international peace and security. This meeting scheduled on July 18 at the UN hall clearly shows the importance and impact of AI in the peace and security sector which could be considered as a blessing and curse.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has its pros and cons when it comes to peace keeping. Pros - revolutionize UN development programs, streamline humanitarian aid efforts, bolster peace-keeping efforts and bridge gaps between nations. Cons - significant risks AI controlled weapons bring.

UK Ambassador Barbara Woodward has emphasized the need for a global effort in managing AI opportunity and risks in using AI.
On the other hand, UN Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez has highlighted the high stakes of the advancement of AI in the Nuclear War.

This meeting is just a start of the long discussion about AI. According to Britain's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, UK will host a summit on AI later this year to kick-off the multi-lateral discussion about AI.

01:38 nations.
01:39 But on the other hand, it presents significant risks.
01:43 The specter of AI-controlled autonomous weapons
01:46 and nuclear arsenals looms large,
01:49 raising serious security and ethical questions.
01:52 UK Ambassador Barbara Woodward would
01:55 emphasize the need for a global effort
01:57 to manage the opportunities and risks AI presents.
02:01 Meanwhile, UN Secretary General Antonio Gutierrez
02:05 would highlight the race takes of this situation
02:09 by likening the existential threat of advanced AI
02:13 to the early years of nuclear war.
02:16 As the world stands on the precipice of an AI-driven
02:18 future, this pivotal meeting would
02:20 start a long series of discussions on AI regulation.
02:24 Britain's Prime Minister Rishi Sunak
02:27 has announced that the UK will host a summit on AI
02:30 later this year, where an AI-focused global
02:33 multilateral discussion will begin.
