U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres submitted a proposed 40-member Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence to the United Nations General Assembly, marking the formal launch of what he described as the first fully independent global scientific body dedicated to assessing AI’s real-world impacts.
The panel was created under a mandate from the Pact for the Future adopted by member states last year and is intended to provide an authoritative, evidence-based reference point for governments grappling with the rapid spread of artificial intelligence across economies, societies and security domains.
