Guterres emphasizes that AI should belong to everyone and calls for less hype and more sharing of evidence. He urges countries, experts, and industry to contribute to the new UN panel on AI.
Misuse
The growing influence of AI on the global economy was also a topic of discussion at the summit in New Delhi. Guterres acknowledges that AI can have a significant impact but warns of the need to ensure the technology is safe for all.
French President Emmanuel Macron defends the strict European regulations for AI and points to the risks related to child safety. He wants to provide protection against digital abuse in this sector.
Macron refers to recent concerns about AI monopolies and the shocking fake nude images produced by advanced AI systems. He advocates for stricter measures to protect children from these dangers.
Freedom of Expression
During the summit, Macron emphasizes that Europe is a 'safe space' for innovation in AI. He points out that European DSA legislation can have a positive impact, contrary to American criticism.
A notable statement from Macron is his sharp criticism of social media platforms that claim to defend freedom of expression. He states that 'free speech' is not effective without transparency in the algorithms that exert this influence.
