NEW DELHI: UN chief Antonio Guterres called Friday for “less hype, less fear” over artificial intelligence as he said that a new expert panel aimed to “make human control a technical reality.”
Guterres said the United Nations General Assembly had confirmed the 40 members proposed for the group, called the Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence.
“Science-led governance is not a brake on progress” but can make it “safer, fairer, and more widely shared,” he said at the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi.
“The message is simple: Less hype, less fear. More facts and evidence.”
The advisory body — aiming to be to AI what the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is to global warming — was created in August.
