UNGA adopts proposal by China on AI

Resolution aims to bolster global efforts, advocates equitable access to benefits

The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution on Monday proposed by China to strengthen international cooperation on artificial intelligence capacity building and advocate for "an open, fair and nondiscriminatory business environment".

AI technology is rapidly developing globally, but most people, especially those in developing countries, have not yet had real access to it or benefited from it, said Fu Cong, China's permanent representative to the UN.

He called for the strengthening of international cooperation on AI for developing and using AI technology equally and the sharing of its benefits.
