Last week, UN secretary general Ant\u00f3nio Guterres <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/un-ai-safety-companies-global-coordination-guterres-6ae720a081ce4d5ede35837ca35b8460\">called<\/a> on governments to cooperate on addressing the threats posed by AI, warning that \u201cthe world cannot afford a race to the bottom on AI safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">It is the first thematic brief from the Independent International Scientific Panel on AI, established last year as the UN\u2019s \u201cfirst global scientific body on Artificial Intelligence.\u201d It calls for much greater attention and resources to manage emerging risks from advanced AI, alongside stronger international coordination on safety and accountability, even as individual countries take different legal approaches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Crucially, the panel says the world does not need to wait for scientists to establish exactly how or why such incidents occur to begin implementing stronger safeguards. Loss-of-control risk, the panel argues, is exactly the kind of problem the precautionary principle was designed to address: \u201cone where potential harm may be catastrophic or irreversible, even as its likelihood remains scientifically uncertain.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The principle, <a href=\"https:\/\/unglobalcompact.org\/what-is-gc\/mission\/principles\/principle-7\">first enshrined<\/a> in the 1992 UN Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, says that scientific uncertainty is no excuse for delaying measures against potentially serious or irreversible harm.
