When the United Nations created an independent scientific panel on artificial intelligence last year, the goal was to establish a shared evidence base. This week, Secretary-General António Guterres proposed a next step: expanding who can participate in the technology itself.
Speaking at the India AI Impact Summit on Thursday, Guterres called for a $3 billion global fund to build computing capacity, data infrastructure and technical expertise in developing countries, warning many could otherwise be “logged out” of the AI era.
