 International calls for secure and reliable artificial intelligence

Dozens of countries, including the United States andChina, called for promoting "safe, robust, and trustworthy" artificial intelligence in a joint declaration issued at the conclusion of an AI summit hosted by India and signed by 86 countries and two international organizations. The statement emphasized that building trust in this technology is a prerequisite for maximizing its social and economic benefits, noting that the full potential of AI will only be realized if its benefits are shared by all of humanity. Although the declaration did not include binding commitments, it focused on voluntary initiatives, particularly with regard to expanding the distribution of artificial intelligence research and development capabilities at the international level. The five-day summit in the Indian capital saw delegations from around the world discuss ways to regulate this rapidly developing technology, with sessions addressing issues such as multilingual translation, the impact of automation on the labor market, and the challenges of energy consumption in data centers. A number of technology executives spoke at the summit, most notably Sam Altman,while António Guterres announced the formation of a scientific committee aimed at making human control of artificial intelligence systems a tangible technical reality. In contrast, the United States, through White House Science and Technology Advisor Michael Kratsios, expressed its rejection of the idea of creating a unified global administration to regulate artificial intelligence, reflecting a clear divergence in views on the international governance mechanisms for this technology.
