GENEVA, July 6 (Reuters) – The United ​Nations secretary general on Monday warned that ‌artificial intelligence is developing faster than anyone can keep up, urging the need for globally harmonised rules to ​reduce potential risks – especially to children.

“A technology ​that can reshape economies, transform the world ⁠of work, sway elections and tilt the balance ​of security is being deployed faster than anyone – ​including the people building it – can keep up,” Antonio Guterres told delegates at the first-ever government-level global dialogue on ​AI in Geneva.

“Innovation needs guardrails.… If AI is ​to be powerful, it must be governed,” Guterres told delegates.

The ‌purpose ⁠of the two-day inaugural U.N. Global Dialogue on AI Governance in Geneva is not to forge a treaty, but rather to discuss how to ​set rules ​to mitigate ⁠the potential harms of AI as well as take advantage of its opportunities.

Delegates ​will consider a report by a ​UN-backed ⁠independent scientific panel of 40 experts, who will present their findings from the first global, independent scientific assessment ⁠of ​AI.

A more comprehensive report is ​planned next year, alongside a second global meeting in New ​York. ***— Reuters***
