Julianne Moore joins 11,000 creatives warning against use of their work to train AI models

<p>The United Nations Security Council held its first meeting on artificial intelligence (AI) risks on Tuesday (July 18). During the meeting, China said that artificial intelligence should not become a "runaway horse". The US meanwhile, underlined that AI should not be used to censor or repress people. The UNSC meet was chaired by Britain's Foreign Secretary James Cleverly. He said that AI will "fundamentally alter every aspect of human life."</p>

<p>"We urgently need to shape the global governance of transformative technologies because AI knows no borders," Cleverly added after saying that AI could help address climate change and boost economies. But he also warned that the technology fuels disinformation and could aid both state and non-state actors in&nbsp;quest for weapons.</p>

<p>The 15-member council was briefed by United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres along with Jack Clark, co-founder of hi-profile AI startup Anthropic, and Professor Zeng Yi, co-director of the China-UK Research Center for AI Ethics and Governance.</p>

<p>"Whether it is good or bad, good or evil, depends on how mankind utilizes it, regulates it and how we balance scientific development with security," Zhang said, adding that there should be a focus on people and AI for good to regulate development and to "prevent this technology from becoming a runaway horse."</p>

<p>Jeffrey Deaurentis, Deputy US Ambassador to the UN, said that there was a need for countries to work together on AI and other emerging tech to curb risks threatening to undermine peace and security.</p>

At first UNSC meeting on AI, warnings issued on risks, serious consequences for peace, security

<p>A group of academics wrote on Wednesday (May 10) that health professionals must warn everyone about the dangers of artificial intelligence (AI). Moreover, the clamour is growing for work on the technology to be stopped. The academics have written in BMJ Global Health journal. They say that time to take such a step was running out because governments, corporations and militaries were working fast to develop AI tools.</p>

<p>AI has become the&nbsp;buzzword since last year after the launch of ChatGPT, a bot capable of generating text from short prompts. The blockbuster response to ChatGPT has led to a frenzy amid tech majors like Google and Microsoft to weave AI into their products and tools. Investors have started pouring money into AI startups.</p>

<p>But the health academics pointed to a range of threats, including powerful AI surveillance systems being developed in dozens of countries, killer robots and disinformation.</p>

<p>They highlighted issues like people with darker skin being at serious risk of harm or reduced care. This they said may be the result of datasets used to "train" AI algorithms being biased.</p>

<p>They argued that "the window of opportunity to avoid serious and potentially existential harms is closing".</p>

<p>The authors, led by Frederik Federspiel of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and David McCoy of the United Nations University in Kuala Lumpur, wrote that global cooperation would be needed.</p>

<p>"Healthcare professionals have a key role in raising awareness and sounding the alarm on the risks and threats posed by AI," they wrote in an analysis piece.</p>

<p>"If AI is to ever fulfil its promise to benefit humanity and society, we must protect democracy, strengthen our public-interest institutions, and dilute power so that there are effective checks and balances."</p>

<p>Even people from the tech world are making their voices heard now.</p>

<p>Earlier this month, computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton, often dubbed "the godfather of AI", quit his job at Google to warn of the "profound risks to society and humanity" of the technology.</p>

<p>In March, billionaire Elon Musk -- whose Tesla carmaker deploys AI systems -- and hundreds of experts called for a pause in AI development to allow time to make sure the technology was safe and properly regulated.</p>
