The UN General Assembly has approved the first United Nations resolution on artificial intelligence.
It is giving global support to an international effort to ensure the powerful new technology benefits all nations, respects human rights and is “safe, secure and trustworthy.”
It is a first-of-its-kind global approach to the development and use of this powerful emerging technology.
Unlike Security Council resolutions, General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding but they are a barometer of world opinion.
