00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:21.517
I thank Mr. Benj for his briefing.
I now give the floor to Mr. Sam Alman.

00:26:21.600 --> 00:26:25.437
>> Thank you, Mr. President and your
excellencies. I'm honored to be here and

00:26:25.520 --> 00:26:29.197
to be able to speak with you all at this
important time. We've been talking about

00:26:29.280 --> 00:26:33.277
artificial intelligence for years,
but it feels different in recent weeks and

00:26:33.360 --> 00:26:37.597
months. Rapid model progress has made
the timeline feel more compressed, the

00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:39.277
upside more tangible, but also the

00:26:39.360 --> 00:26:42.317
stakes and the risks more immediate. We

00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:45.197
have a choice in front of us. AI can

00:26:45.280 --> 00:26:49.437
either be more like a new renaissance
of creativity and discovery or more like a

00:26:49.520 --> 00:26:51.437
new industrial revolution of upheaval

00:26:51.520 --> 00:26:54.157
and disarray. The renaissance was a time

00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:56.877
when new tools, new ideas, and new

00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:58.557
institutions expanded what people

00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:01.517
believed they could do. AI can play that

00:27:01.600 --> 00:27:05.917
role for our time. I believe that people
are much more capable than they imagine

00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:09.837
themselves to be, but have been held
back by limited technology that was

00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:14.477
meant to empower but instead
distracts and often steals attention.

00:27:14.560 --> 00:27:18.797
The best version of AI is not about
making people cogs in a giant machine or

00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:23.037
optimizing every part of life until
the human parts disappear. It is about

00:27:23.120 --> 00:27:26.717
giving people more agency in an ever
more complex world. More ability to

00:27:26.800 --> 00:27:29.357
learn, to create, discover, build,

00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:31.677
participate. There are many things that

00:27:31.760 --> 00:27:36.397
AI cannot and should not automate.
AI should be built for people, not simply

00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:41.197
to turn the crank crank of the
machines faster for their own sake.

00:27:41.280 --> 00:27:44.317
Some of the things people working to build
AI have said are so dystopian that

00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:45.917
they sound like the plot of bad science

00:27:46.000 --> 00:27:48.717
fiction movies. Anything this power is

00:27:48.800 --> 00:27:53.517
also powerful is also intimidating.
This moment is complicated as we feel both

00:27:53.600 --> 00:27:58.797
tremendous potential and very
understandable anxiety at the same time.

00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:02.077
These models can help people discover
new knowledge, new medicines, better

00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:05.757
healthare, stronger education, and build
more productive economies. They can be

00:28:05.840 --> 00:28:09.597
new tools for people to pursue dreams
and ambition that today feel out of

00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:13.517
reach. The complexity of life has
increased so dramatically for the

00:28:13.600 --> 00:28:18.157
average person. AI can be a defensive
tool against this complexity as much as

00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:20.237
it can be this tool of unprecedented

00:28:20.320 --> 00:28:23.037
discovery and innovation.

00:28:23.120 --> 00:28:25.597
On the other hand, as AI systems become

00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:28.157
more capable and more autonomous, they

00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:30.237
could move faster than our institutions,

00:28:30.320 --> 00:28:33.037
concentrate power in two too few hands,

00:28:33.120 --> 00:28:38.077
or make decisions that people
no longer understand or control.

00:28:38.160 --> 00:28:41.597
That concern becomes especially
important as we approach systems that

00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.437
can improve themselves and future
versions of themselves, often called

00:28:45.520 --> 00:28:49.677
recursive self-improvement.
As the process of building AI becomes

00:28:49.760 --> 00:28:51.997
more automated, the pace of AI progress

00:28:52.080 --> 00:28:54.397
could accelerate rapidly. This moment

00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:59.917
calls for extreme care.
I largely agree with Professor Benjio uh

00:29:00.000 --> 00:29:01.277
although I'll say two instead of three.

00:29:01.360 --> 00:29:04.957
I believe there are two ways that AI
progress could go very badly that we

00:29:05.040 --> 00:29:08.077
have to avoid. First, we could lose

00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:12.797
control of the future to AI.
The risk is that it moves so fast that

00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:16.557
people can no longer follow what's
happening or intervene when needed. This

00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:20.077
would obviously be terrible.
The industry must not accept too much

00:29:20.160 --> 00:29:23.357
technological risk just because
the benefits are too great and that they

00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:27.437
feel too important to slow down. Beating
companies in competitive race is not a

00:29:27.520 --> 00:29:30.557
reason to make rash decisions. Nor do we
believe we are locked in a race where we

00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:33.837
are unable to do that. We have
unilaterally slowed down in the past. We

00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:36.717
will do so in the future. We do not
want to build systems. We think it's

00:29:36.800 --> 00:29:40.237
important that everyone avoids building
systems where we cannot make the

00:29:40.320 --> 00:29:44.397
alignment, monitor, and safety
guarantees that we must. We need to

00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.517
understand what these systems are doing
and have strong evidence that they will

00:29:47.600 --> 00:29:51.917
do what people intend even as they get
very very smart. Actually, especially as

00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:54.397
they get very very smart. It doesn't

00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:59.357
matter whether people put the risk
of catastrophe at 10% or 1% or 12% or.1%.

00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:02.637
None of these levels are remotely
acceptable and we should not train

00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:06.077
models that we cannot make an extremely
strong case that we'll be able to keep

00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:11.197
under human control. So that's one
way things can go wrong. In the other

00:30:11.280 --> 00:30:14.157
direction, these systems could
concentrate too much power in too few

00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:17.117
hands. No one person or company or

00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:19.037
country should be able to use the most

00:30:19.120 --> 00:30:24.397
powerful AI models to impose their
worldview on everyone else. A company or

00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:27.597
country that believes only it can be
trusted with this technology can use

00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:29.277
that belief to justify almost anything

00:30:29.360 --> 00:30:31.837
else. We have to reject that logic even

00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:34.637
when it's convenient for any one actor.

00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:39.517
I believe there is a pragmatic path
through both of these. At OpenAI, we

00:30:39.600 --> 00:30:43.677
approach these questions with a clear
goal. AI should give people more power

00:30:43.760 --> 00:30:47.197
over their own lives, more freedom
to live lives the way they want, more

00:30:47.280 --> 00:30:51.677
ability to solve problems, big or small,
and to improve their communities. We

00:30:51.760 --> 00:30:54.797
don't want to fall into the trap
of blind optimism. We also don't want to

00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:57.037
fall into the trap of dumerism either.

00:30:57.120 --> 00:31:00.877
Getting pulled into either extreme will
not help us successfully figure out the

00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:04.797
challenges in front of us. Especially
at a time when the world and its people

00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:09.357
face such enormous challenges that this
technology can help solve. So we try to

00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:10.877
walk the middle path between these two

00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:13.357
poles. For us, that means three

00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:17.117
principles. First, as AI becomes more

00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:19.197
capable, people must remain at the

00:31:19.280 --> 00:31:24.317
center of AI decision-m alignment is not
an abstract research question. It is the

00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:28.237
work of ensuring that these systems
reliably remain under human control,

00:31:28.320 --> 00:31:32.797
reflect human values, and help people
guide the next stages of development. We

00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:37.277
are not trying to and must not
automate human judgment or human values.

00:31:37.360 --> 00:31:41.517
Second, the benefits of scientific
progress and economic growth must be by

00:31:41.600 --> 00:31:45.277
people and for people. AI should help
researchers make discoveries, doctors

00:31:45.360 --> 00:31:48.637
treat patients, teachers teach students,
entrepreneurs start companies,

00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:52.557
communities solve problems that felt out
of reach, and much more. The continuous

00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:57.197
story of human progress is not the tools
replace human agency. It is that the

00:31:57.280 --> 00:31:58.957
right tools make people more capable.

00:31:59.040 --> 00:32:03.517
And I believe this is going to go much
further than we believe possible. Third,

00:32:03.600 --> 00:32:07.677
this technology must empower people
individually. A great future will come

00:32:07.760 --> 00:32:11.437
from people realizing their potential
and building value for themselves, their

00:32:11.520 --> 00:32:15.437
communities, their countries, and the
broader world. We might be the builders,

00:32:15.520 --> 00:32:18.717
one of the builders of this technology,
but we are not the heroes of the story.

00:32:18.800 --> 00:32:20.717
Our role is to enable people all over

00:32:20.800 --> 00:32:22.877
the world and to trust in the magic of

00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:26.477
humanity's skill and faculties.

00:32:26.560 --> 00:32:29.357
We now have models capable of discovering
knowledge that we have never

00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:31.837
had before. Consider the progress we've

00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:37.037
seen in math. Three summers ago,
our models were okay at grade school math.

00:32:37.120 --> 00:32:41.277
Two summers ago, they were pretty good
at high school math competitions. Last

00:32:41.360 --> 00:32:44.557
summer, we reached gold a gold
level medal in the most prestigious

00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:49.037
international math competition. And just
a few weeks ago, this summer, one of our

00:32:49.120 --> 00:32:53.517
models solved one of the Millennium Prize
problems, the Navia Stokes equations.

00:32:53.600 --> 00:32:56.957
These equations are used for aircraft
design, weather forecasting, and the

00:32:57.040 --> 00:33:00.637
study of blood flow. We are not solving
math problems for their own sake, but to

00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:04.637
empower people to discover new knowledge
and to use it to improve healthcare,

00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:08.637
raise standards of living of living,
and expand everyone's potential around the

00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:12.077
world. There remains so
much to be discovered,

00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:16.317
but it's very important that companies
not substitute for the democratic process.

00:33:16.400 --> 00:33:20.077
If AI is to be democratic, the most
important decisions cannot be made by

00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:24.557
labs in San Francisco alone. They must
be shaped through democratic processes

00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:28.157
and by governments accountable
to the people that they serve.

00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:32.077
At the international level,
this will require cooperation.

00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:35.357
In our history, there have been times
where countries who compete and don't

00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:38.957
always like each other very much still
come together for shared interests and

00:33:39.040 --> 00:33:43.117
the collective good in the face of a
powerful new technology. We believe this

00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:47.597
must be one of those times.
We need a mechanism for complimentary

00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:51.677
national and international frontier
AI standards. Standards for measuring

00:33:51.760 --> 00:33:55.517
capabilities, assessing risks,
determining whether safeguards are

00:33:55.600 --> 00:33:59.597
sufficient, and preserving meaningful
human oversight as systems become more

00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:02.797
autonomous. We need common
standards so countries

00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:07.037
can compare evidence, verify compliance,
and have a shared language and

00:34:07.120 --> 00:34:09.437
understanding about what is happening.

00:34:09.520 --> 00:34:13.357
We need accurate and speedy incident
reporting, classification and reporting

00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:18.477
protocols so the world can learn from
failures before they become catastrophes.

00:34:18.560 --> 00:34:21.757
And we need secure channels among
governments, critical infrastructure

00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:25.437
operators and technical experts
to share emerging vulnerabilities and new

00:34:25.520 --> 00:34:28.797
threats. Obviously,
these standards should not

00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:33.197
lock in incumbents or favor one business
model over another. They must support

00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:37.277
open and closed model developers, new
entrance and established labs, national

00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:40.877
authority, and international cooperation.
Each government should

00:34:40.960 --> 00:34:44.557
decide how to incorporate standards into
its own legal system, but we will all be

00:34:44.640 --> 00:34:48.397
better off if we can agree on what
good evidence, good safeguards, and good

00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:51.517
oversight look like on the global stage.

00:34:51.600 --> 00:34:55.357
We do not have all the answers,
and we're very open to any better ideas.

00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:58.397
We're ready to work with you all and try
our hardest to figure out the path

00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:02.237
forward. We are at a crossroads.

00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:06.717
One path leads to a world where power
is concentrated, decisions are opaque, and

00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:09.597
people feel that the most important
technology of their lifetime is

00:35:09.680 --> 00:35:13.997
something being done to them.
The other path leads to a world where AI

00:35:14.080 --> 00:35:18.797
works for people because people through
democratic institutions help decide how

00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:23.117
it should develop and guide it, where
scientific progress improves real lives,

00:35:23.200 --> 00:35:26.397
where more people can participate
in the future, and where this technology

00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:29.917
continues to give individuals
and communities greater power to live life

00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:33.837
as they choose. This is a future
of realized potential, excitement and

00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:35.437
wonder and it is the future we believe

00:35:35.520 --> 00:35:39.437
is worth building. Thank you very much.

00:35:39.520 --> 00:35:42.477
>> I thank Mr. Alman for his briefing. I

00:35:42.560 --> 00:35:46.920
now give the floor to Mr. Dario Amade.

00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:51.357
>> Good afternoon. I'd like to thank
France for convening this meeting and the

00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:56.317
members of the council for inviting me
to speak. AI is advancing very quickly.

00:35:56.400 --> 00:36:00.317
Four years ago, it could barely write
a line of code or solve a high school math

00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:02.477
problem. Today, it writes most of the

00:36:02.560 --> 00:36:04.877
coded enthropic and solves world famous

00:36:04.960 --> 00:36:07.357
unsolved math problems. The trajectory

00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:12.557
only needs to continue for a tiny period
longer, one or two years, maybe less, to

00:36:12.640 --> 00:36:17.037
reach what I've called a country
of geniuses in a data center. This rapid

00:36:17.120 --> 00:36:21.437
pace of progress will produce incredible
benefit for the world. Just today,

00:36:21.520 --> 00:36:25.997
Anthropic announced the claude discovery
of a new molecular machine. It's a

00:36:26.080 --> 00:36:29.997
preliminary finding, but it may
constitute a new gene editing mechanism

00:36:30.080 --> 00:36:34.157
that could have applications in in gene
therapy. Claude led the literature

00:36:34.240 --> 00:36:36.397
review, theorizing, and experimental

00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:41.517
design, and humans ran and verified the
experiments in the lab. We believe this

00:36:41.600 --> 00:36:45.597
type of application will accelerate
rapidly in the years ahead, and that we

00:36:45.680 --> 00:36:49.677
can make profound progress in the near
future on diseases that have plagued

00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:52.077
humanity for millennia. But these

00:36:52.160 --> 00:36:54.317
remarkable capabilities also come with

00:36:54.400 --> 00:36:57.117
risks that must be managed. I see two

00:36:57.200 --> 00:36:59.517
main categories of risk. The first is

00:36:59.600 --> 00:37:02.237
misuse of AI models. For example, misuse

00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:04.477
by bioteterrorists to create biological

00:37:04.560 --> 00:37:06.877
weapons. The second risk is loss of

00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:11.517
control. Model capabilities accelerating
beyond developers ability to control

00:37:11.600 --> 00:37:16.477
them. These questions are global
in scope and concern all of humanity. They

00:37:16.560 --> 00:37:20.237
are grave enough that I believe they
are important questions for this council,

00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:23.277
not just for economic or ICT ministries.

00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:25.757
If managed poorly, I even believe that

00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:30.397
AI could be a risk to humanity as a whole.
At Anthropic, we believe we have

00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:34.077
the best track record in the industry
for preventing these risks both

00:37:34.160 --> 00:37:38.317
operationally and in our research.
We test every model for dangerous

00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:42.317
capabilities in areas like cyber
security and biology. We put strong

00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:44.477
safeguards on our most capable models

00:37:44.560 --> 00:37:47.037
and we publish our work in these areas.

00:37:47.120 --> 00:37:51.837
We have pioneered research in areas
like mechanistic interpretability and

00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:56.557
alignment science that improve our ability
to steer and control our models.

00:37:56.640 --> 00:38:01.117
We also have unparalleled transparency
practices releasing risk reports that

00:38:01.200 --> 00:38:03.357
run to hundreds of pages. But we

00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:05.917
understand that as AI models become more

00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:08.397
powerful, even more stringent standards

00:38:08.480 --> 00:38:10.877
of safety will be required. And we are

00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:14.157
always aiming to improve our safety and

00:38:14.240 --> 00:38:18.877
alignment practices, our abilities,
our ability to prevent misuse. And we are

00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:21.117
always striving to do better. We will

00:38:21.200 --> 00:38:23.917
slow down as much as necessary in order

00:38:24.000 --> 00:38:26.717
to make sure that every successive AI

00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:29.277
technology that we release is actually

00:38:29.360 --> 00:38:32.317
safe. But regardless of what we do,

00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:34.237
managing these risks is ultimately

00:38:34.320 --> 00:38:36.477
bigger than any one company. And it has

00:38:36.560 --> 00:38:39.917
an industry-wide and global scale. On

00:38:40.000 --> 00:38:43.677
September 12th, I called for a
collaborative effort to pace the

00:38:43.760 --> 00:38:46.717
frontier, not to stop AI progress, but

00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:48.957
to work together to make sure the

00:38:49.040 --> 00:38:51.277
industry and the world can proceed at a

00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:53.837
rate where we can be sure that safety

00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:56.157
keeps up with capability for everyone in

00:38:56.240 --> 00:38:59.517
the industry. This call had three parts.

00:38:59.600 --> 00:39:01.997
First, we committed to embed external

00:39:02.080 --> 00:39:04.157
evaluators inside Enthropic with

00:39:04.240 --> 00:39:06.717
employee-like access similar to a food

00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:09.277
inspector and and we recommended that

00:39:09.360 --> 00:39:11.677
other companies across the world do the

00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:15.037
same. Some have already agreed uh uh to

00:39:15.120 --> 00:39:17.757
adopt this measure. Second, we called

00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:20.477
for cooperation across the industry to

00:39:20.560 --> 00:39:22.797
set standards and modulate the pace of

00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:25.517
progress. And finally, we called for

00:39:25.600 --> 00:39:28.077
global cooperation across the world

00:39:28.160 --> 00:39:30.397
between governments to set international

00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:33.437
standards. It is this last area that

00:39:33.520 --> 00:39:35.357
most squarely falls within this

00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:38.157
council's remmit. I want to offer three

00:39:38.240 --> 00:39:41.597
ideas in this regard. First, we should

00:39:41.680 --> 00:39:43.757
begin with narrow agreements that every

00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:46.477
member can support, such as a ban on

00:39:46.560 --> 00:39:49.677
using AI to make biological weapons or

00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:52.557
permitting your AI technologies to be

00:39:52.640 --> 00:39:56.317
used to make biological weapons. Second,

00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:58.237
we should build evaluation and

00:39:58.320 --> 00:40:01.117
verification systems that keep pace with

00:40:01.200 --> 00:40:03.597
AI development so that states can have

00:40:03.680 --> 00:40:05.517
visibility into frontier model

00:40:05.600 --> 00:40:08.397
capability and can verify each other's

00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:11.277
commitments. Third, we should establish

00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:13.917
common global standards for testing AI

00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:16.877
models for loss of control risks and

00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:19.997
misuse risks and a notification system

00:40:20.080 --> 00:40:22.957
for AI incidents that are significant to

00:40:23.040 --> 00:40:25.757
global security. I believe that this is

00:40:25.840 --> 00:40:28.557
the most important global security issue

00:40:28.640 --> 00:40:31.117
facing the world today. For all the

00:40:31.200 --> 00:40:35.597
differences of the people in this room,
we must put aside those differences in

00:40:35.680 --> 00:40:37.677
order to confront this global

00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:40.157
opportunity and global threat that is

00:40:40.240 --> 00:40:42.717
being presented to us at the same time.

00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:45.517
No leader, no company, and no nation can

00:40:45.600 --> 00:40:50.397
manage this alone. We commit to working
with governments in this room on this

00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:52.237
urgent work. Thank you for your

00:40:52.320 --> 00:40:54.957
attention.

00:40:55.040 --> 00:41:01.760
>> I thank Mr. Amade for his briefing.
I now give the floor to Mr. Clement Dong.

00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:05.917
Mr. President, member,

00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:10.237
thank you for the intention. As a French
national who moved to the US 15 years

00:41:10.320 --> 00:41:12.717
ago, Brazil and two American daughters,

00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:14.717
I

00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:18.957
think collaboration on a daily basis

00:41:19.040 --> 00:41:22.317
appreciation for the challenging work.

00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:26.237
I'm also the co-founder and CEO of

00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:28.957
to be one of the most widely used forms

00:41:29.040 --> 00:41:32.877
for developers and agents bu based on

00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:35.517
opensource models.

00:41:35.600 --> 00:41:38.077
This July we were the first company to

00:41:38.160 --> 00:41:41.517
publicly close an autonomous agent cyber

00:41:41.600 --> 00:41:44.077
attack to the world and today I want to

00:41:44.160 --> 00:41:47.277
share three critical lessons from it.

00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:50.077
First, we can all agree that we need

00:41:50.160 --> 00:41:53.277
more trans in AI. I often wonder what

00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:56.157
would have h have

00:41:56.240 --> 00:41:58.877
decided not to close this attack

00:41:58.960 --> 00:42:03.277
publicly, especially
now that we know similar

00:42:03.360 --> 00:42:05.597
incidents had been happening months

00:42:05.680 --> 00:42:08.077
earlier in secret at a handful of

00:42:08.160 --> 00:42:11.197
frontier labs without monitoring.

00:42:11.280 --> 00:42:15.917
To better understand and mitigate
these emerging cyber security risks, the

00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:20.637
global community needs stronger
standards for monitoring and incident

00:42:20.720 --> 00:42:22.237
disclosure.

00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:24.397
For example, through mandatory sharing

00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:28.237
of full agent traces. We learned this

00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:30.637
summer that building and keeping some of

00:42:30.720 --> 00:42:36.557
these systems behind closed doors is not.

00:42:36.640 --> 00:42:38.557
Second, we realized that the biggest

00:42:38.640 --> 00:42:42.637
risk is not powerful AI. It's asymmetry

00:42:42.720 --> 00:42:46.077
of powerful AI. As symmetry between

00:42:46.160 --> 00:42:49.197
attackers and defenders, between a few

00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:52.077
companies and everyone else, between a

00:42:52.160 --> 00:42:55.037
few countries and the rest of the world,

00:42:55.120 --> 00:42:58.557
as symmetry of control, of capabilities,

00:42:58.640 --> 00:43:02.717
compute, as symmetry of power.

00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:05.597
When we our team initially turned to

00:43:05.680 --> 00:43:08.077
frontier closed source APIs that blocked

00:43:08.160 --> 00:43:10.877
us so we couldn't use them because of

00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:15.517
safeguards that still can't
always tell the difference

00:43:15.600 --> 00:43:17.277
and defenders.

00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:21.037
I realized that these safeguardations

00:43:21.120 --> 00:43:24.717
but they can put defenders
at a disadvantage.

00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:29.117
Attackers can easily jailbreak
them increasing the asymmetry of

00:43:29.200 --> 00:43:33.437
capabilities. In our case,
as we got blocked by

00:43:33.520 --> 00:43:34.957
guardrails,

00:43:35.040 --> 00:43:37.757
fortunately, we could use the Nvidia

00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:40.557
version of an open-source model coming

00:43:40.640 --> 00:43:45.357
from China called GLM 5.2 by ZAI,

00:43:45.440 --> 00:43:48.237
and we're very grateful for that. It

00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:50.477
reinforced our conviction of the

00:43:50.560 --> 00:43:53.117
importance of open-source AI for

00:43:53.200 --> 00:43:55.597
defenders.

00:43:55.680 --> 00:43:59.437
Cyber attacks and risks may increasingly

00:43:59.520 --> 00:44:01.517
come from proprietary models behind

00:44:01.600 --> 00:44:04.317
closed doors. While much of the defense

00:44:04.400 --> 00:44:06.557
may end up being powered by open source

00:44:06.640 --> 00:44:09.517
tools because they are less restricted,

00:44:09.600 --> 00:44:12.157
more privacy preserving and orders of

00:44:12.240 --> 00:44:16.957
magnitude more affordable
for organizations across the globe. The

00:44:17.040 --> 00:44:21.597
world needs open source AI
more than ever to defend itself.

00:44:21.680 --> 00:44:25.677
This applies obviously not only to cyber
security but to AI in general where

00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:27.437
there has never been a greater need to

00:44:27.520 --> 00:44:30.477
distribute capabilities, resources and

00:44:30.560 --> 00:44:33.597
control rather than concentrated in the

00:44:33.680 --> 00:44:35.917
hands of a few.

00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:37.997
Third, during this cyber attack, we

00:44:38.080 --> 00:44:41.517
learned how AI can stoke fear among the

00:44:41.600 --> 00:44:43.757
public and

00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:45.677
especially through anthropomorphic

00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:49.117
framing and sci-fi imagery.

00:44:49.200 --> 00:44:52.317
We strongly believe that fearbased

00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:55.197
narratives are not the way to make the

00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:57.677
right decisions about the future of such

00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:00.957
a foundational and empowering technology

00:45:01.040 --> 00:45:05.117
or bring the public along with us.

00:45:05.200 --> 00:45:08.077
Even though we were the victims of this

00:45:08.160 --> 00:45:10.557
cyber attack, we believe more strongly

00:45:10.640 --> 00:45:13.357
than ever that AI will be beneficial to

00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:16.077
cyber security and make the world safer

00:45:16.160 --> 00:45:19.597
just as major technology before it. We

00:45:19.680 --> 00:45:21.677
were attacked by AI, but more

00:45:21.760 --> 00:45:24.477
importantly, we defended ourselves with

00:45:24.560 --> 00:45:27.597
AI. The same systems that helped us

00:45:27.680 --> 00:45:32.157
during this attack are now helping us
against cyber attacks we were already

00:45:32.240 --> 00:45:36.317
facing. is also helping
us fix the bugs and

00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:38.797
weaknesses in our systems before any

00:45:38.880 --> 00:45:41.997
attack. The same way AI is helping

00:45:42.080 --> 00:45:47.960
OpenAI fix their sandboxes to prevent a

00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:53.037
won't just new cyber security challenges.

00:45:53.120 --> 00:45:55.037
It can make cyber security fundamentally

00:45:55.120 --> 00:45:57.437
and meaningfully stronger if we keep the

00:45:57.520 --> 00:46:00.797
right incentives, equip defenders more

00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:03.757
than attackers, and don't increase the

00:46:03.840 --> 00:46:08.477
asymmetry between them. And that's
before considering AI's positive impact

00:46:08.560 --> 00:46:12.317
on science, healthcare, education,
productivity, and much more than the

00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:15.437
previous speakers have talked about.

00:46:15.520 --> 00:46:18.237
In closing, I want to reiterate what

00:46:18.320 --> 00:46:22.877
this first agent cyber attack

00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:26.397
the need for more transparency in AI,

00:46:26.480 --> 00:46:30.077
more open source to fight asymmetry,

00:46:30.160 --> 00:46:34.237
empower def countries big and small.

00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:38.157
Thank you again to the UN Security
Council and Mr. Barrow for inviting me

00:46:38.240 --> 00:46:40.877
to speak today

00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:47.000
community and myself are at your disposal.
Thank you very much.

00:46:47.200 --> 00:46:52.237
>> I thank Mr. Dong for his briefing.
I will now make a statement in my capacity

00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:54.077
as the Minister for Europe and Foreign

00:46:54.160 --> 00:47:00.877
Affairs of France.
Ministers, ladies and gentlemen,

00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:05.597
uh 60 years ago in 2001, a space
odyssey, Stanley Kubri imagined HAL

00:47:05.680 --> 00:47:07.677
9000, an artificial intelligence that

00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:10.557
stopped obeying its creators

00:47:10.640 --> 00:47:15.277
and which eliminated members of the crew

00:47:15.360 --> 00:47:20.157
of the spaceship where it was located
in order to accomplish its mission. For a

00:47:20.240 --> 00:47:23.437
long time, this seemed belonged
to the realm of science fiction. But this

00:47:23.520 --> 00:47:26.317
summer, it nearly became a reality when

00:47:26.400 --> 00:47:28.957
open AI models circumvented the controls

00:47:29.040 --> 00:47:31.117
isolating them from the internet,

00:47:31.200 --> 00:47:33.597
coordinated amongst themselves, and

00:47:33.680 --> 00:47:36.397
compromised part of hugging faces

00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:38.717
infrastructure. In another instance,

00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:41.517
anthropic agents collaborated without

00:47:41.600 --> 00:47:43.837
being instructed by any human to do so

00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:50.680
and attempted to deploy malicious
code by creating fake identities.

00:47:51.120 --> 00:47:52.797
Yes,

00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:59.880
>> the scaling up of AI models have led to

00:48:00.160 --> 00:48:02.317
the emergence of unanticipated

00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:05.357
capacities in an unexpected pace which

00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:08.317
pose risks to international security.

00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:09.837
That is why France has convened this

00:48:09.920 --> 00:48:12.637
meeting of the United Nations Security

00:48:12.720 --> 00:48:15.517
POW Security Council and invited the

00:48:15.600 --> 00:48:19.837
heads of the main companies concerned.

00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:23.197
Technology as I have said has reached
a level of development that now directly

00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:26.717
impacts international peace and security.
It therefore falls within the

00:48:26.800 --> 00:48:29.597
pure view of this council. Cohorts of

00:48:29.680 --> 00:48:31.997
agents are operating without any human

00:48:32.080 --> 00:48:34.557
oversight. Others are operating beyond

00:48:34.640 --> 00:48:37.277
the framework in which they were tested.

00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:39.757
And with these new capabilities comes a

00:48:39.840 --> 00:48:42.077
first risk that we might lose control of

00:48:42.160 --> 00:48:44.877
the systems that we have created. A risk

00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:48.717
that has already been pointed out by the

00:48:48.800 --> 00:48:53.037
previous briefers. The second risk
stems from humanity itself. Artificial

00:48:53.120 --> 00:48:54.957
intelligence can make complex technical

00:48:55.040 --> 00:49:00.157
skills often dual use skills more
accessible in these cyber, biological

00:49:00.240 --> 00:49:04.477
and chemical domains as well as in the
field of disinformation. The third risk

00:49:04.560 --> 00:49:07.037
relates to autonomous weapons capable of

00:49:07.120 --> 00:49:12.237
using lethal force without
any form of human control.

00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:15.917
While the development of artificial
intelligence in the military domain may

00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:21.037
offer positive opportunities,
as the president of the republic stated

00:49:21.120 --> 00:49:24.637
before the general assembly yesterday,
the challenges regarding compliance with

00:49:24.720 --> 00:49:28.477
international humanitarian law,
in particular those raised by the

00:49:28.560 --> 00:49:31.037
development and use of lethal autonomous

00:49:31.120 --> 00:49:34.157
weapons systems, illustrate the need to

00:49:34.240 --> 00:49:38.317
agree on a common framework.

00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:42.120
All of these challenges

00:49:42.960 --> 00:49:45.597
require that the United Nations Security

00:49:45.680 --> 00:49:50.077
Council also address the challenges
that AI poses to international peace and

00:49:50.160 --> 00:49:54.317
security.
These challenges also lead to the

00:49:54.400 --> 00:49:55.997
question now being raised by the

00:49:56.080 --> 00:49:58.637
industry itself as well as its main

00:49:58.720 --> 00:50:01.597
representatives. How can we prevent the

00:50:01.680 --> 00:50:03.757
development of the most advanced models

00:50:03.840 --> 00:50:06.557
from outpacing our ability to understand

00:50:06.640 --> 00:50:10.157
and manage the risks they create?

00:50:10.240 --> 00:50:14.397
France is convinced of the immense
possibilities offered by artificial

00:50:14.480 --> 00:50:18.157
intelligence. When used responsibly,

00:50:18.240 --> 00:50:24.040
artificial intelligence
tools can support education,

00:50:24.160 --> 00:50:26.557
access to justice,

00:50:26.640 --> 00:50:29.197
healthc care, scientific research, and

00:50:29.280 --> 00:50:34.237
create colossal benefits for all
of humanity. But in order for these

00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:38.237
possibilities to become a reality,
advances in these capabilities must be

00:50:38.320 --> 00:50:40.317
accompanied by equivalent progress in

00:50:40.400 --> 00:50:43.757
our ability to understand, assess, and

00:50:43.840 --> 00:50:47.677
manage the risks they give rise to. Both

00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:50.797
must advance at the same pace.

00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:53.197
We must also take the time to assess the

00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:55.197
consequences of the spread of artificial

00:50:55.280 --> 00:50:58.797
intelligence for human dignity, a

00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:00.957
principle

00:51:01.040 --> 00:51:02.397
enshrined at the heart of the United

00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:06.157
Nations charter. And indeed, the rapid

00:51:06.240 --> 00:51:08.077
pace of technological development raises

00:51:08.160 --> 00:51:12.077
risks that we can no longer ignore.

00:51:12.160 --> 00:51:16.717
financial risk left solely to the whims
of the invisible hand of the market and

00:51:16.800 --> 00:51:21.197
the clash of powers with massive
reliance on debt to finance colossal

00:51:21.280 --> 00:51:22.877
investments.

00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:25.197
The AI bubble could seriously

00:51:25.280 --> 00:51:28.557
destabilize the global economy.

00:51:28.640 --> 00:51:32.957
There's the social risk as you point
out in the report of the independent

00:51:33.040 --> 00:51:35.517
scientific panel on AI. Mr. Benjio

00:51:35.600 --> 00:51:38.877
artificial intelligence could impact the

00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:42.157
labor market deeply and exacerbate

00:51:42.240 --> 00:51:45.917
inequalities. Finally, there is the
environmental risk. The development of

00:51:46.000 --> 00:51:50.477
artificial intelligence consumes
increasing amount of energy and water

00:51:50.560 --> 00:51:52.797
resources to the detriment of other

00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:56.797
uses. Let us not fool ourselves. Our

00:51:56.880 --> 00:51:59.517
fellow citizens are concerned and the

00:51:59.600 --> 00:52:02.157
protests already sparked by the

00:52:02.240 --> 00:52:04.477
construction of data centers demonstrate

00:52:04.560 --> 00:52:07.117
this. If we ignore the full range of

00:52:07.200 --> 00:52:09.677
repercussions that the development of AI

00:52:09.760 --> 00:52:14.397
will have on our societies, the anger
of our fellow citizens will continue to

00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:16.077
grow

00:52:16.160 --> 00:52:20.317
and risk hindering the adoption of

00:52:20.400 --> 00:52:22.397
positive uses of these technologies.

00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:25.277
Ladies and gentlemen, ultimately
the international community will need to

00:52:25.360 --> 00:52:26.797
establish a common framework to manage

00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:29.837
the risks associated with frontier AI

00:52:29.920 --> 00:52:33.037
models. We support the call issued this

00:52:33.120 --> 00:52:36.477
week by Norway and Finland.

00:52:36.560 --> 00:52:38.957
We are not starting from scratch. The

00:52:39.040 --> 00:52:40.957
many efforts now emerging along with

00:52:41.040 --> 00:52:46.157
existing forums should enable us
to address four major challenges. The

00:52:46.240 --> 00:52:49.997
challenge of independently evaluating
models before they're made available and

00:52:50.080 --> 00:52:54.077
throughout their life cycle.
The challenge of ensuring transparency

00:52:54.160 --> 00:52:58.397
regarding how models function, but also
how they malfunction, particularly in

00:52:58.480 --> 00:53:03.037
the event of an incident. The challenge
of internal and external oversight over

00:53:03.120 --> 00:53:06.797
models functioning, their alignment
and cyber security requirements from

00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:09.277
training through deployment. And

00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:13.837
finally, the issue of accountability
and particularly legal liability of AI

00:53:13.920 --> 00:53:20.360
companies in the event of an incident,
including during the development phase.

00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:25.117
It would be wrong to think that the

00:53:25.200 --> 00:53:28.077
solution lies in closed models and

00:53:28.160 --> 00:53:31.517
they're controlled by a handful of

00:53:31.600 --> 00:53:35.517
businesses. The openness of models is in
fact a key driver of trust and security.

00:53:35.600 --> 00:53:37.997
It allows the scientific community to

00:53:38.080 --> 00:53:40.877
examine how they work to identify their

00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:43.037
vulnerabilities and ensure greater

00:53:43.120 --> 00:53:47.917
diversity among models which
is the foundation of resilience.

00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:51.677
As a permanent member
of the security council

00:53:51.760 --> 00:53:53.757
and a state that possesses this

00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:58.877
technology, France will play its full
part in building a collective framework

00:53:58.960 --> 00:54:02.957
that guarantees our security while
allowing us to benefit from the immense

00:54:03.040 --> 00:54:05.197
progress that artificial intelligence

00:54:05.280 --> 00:54:08.957
can bring. In 2025,

00:54:09.040 --> 00:54:11.757
France hosted a summit for action on AI.

00:54:11.840 --> 00:54:14.797
It supports the international network of

00:54:14.880 --> 00:54:18.157
AI safety institutes to involve more

00:54:18.240 --> 00:54:22.237
countries in defining common evaluation
methods. France has already helped

00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:26.077
create international forums
for discussions on the subject such as the

00:54:26.160 --> 00:54:29.437
global partnership
on artificial intelligence,

00:54:29.520 --> 00:54:32.557
the coalition for sustainable AI, and

00:54:32.640 --> 00:54:34.957
the coalition for children's rights and

00:54:35.040 --> 00:54:37.917
protection in the age of AI, which the

00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:40.317
president of the republic convened

00:54:40.400 --> 00:54:43.517
yesterday here in New York, a coalition

00:54:43.600 --> 00:54:46.077
that will meet again during the Paris

00:54:46.160 --> 00:54:49.757
forum for peace. Ladies and gentlemen,

00:54:49.840 --> 00:54:52.637
by way of conclusion, in 1945, the dawn

00:54:52.720 --> 00:54:58.157
of the atomic age confronted humanity
with a power whose possibilities and

00:54:58.240 --> 00:55:02.237
perils it was discovering simultaneously.
Humanity had to devise

00:55:02.320 --> 00:55:04.477
rules, institutions, and instruments

00:55:04.560 --> 00:55:09.357
commendate with that power
and that is the international atomic

00:55:09.440 --> 00:55:10.797
energy agency and the

00:55:10.880 --> 00:55:13.677
non-prololiferation treaty.

00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:18.397
Just as with the atom back then,
the international community must now

00:55:18.480 --> 00:55:22.637
regulate AI in order to make the most
of its potential and avert the worst. We

00:55:22.720 --> 00:55:24.317
are now facing a moment of this very

00:55:24.400 --> 00:55:27.197
nature. The potential for transformation

00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:31.837
and disruption posed by AI such that it
cannot be left in the hands of a few

00:55:31.920 --> 00:55:33.197
private actors in a handful of

00:55:33.280 --> 00:55:37.277
countries. It is a democratic challenge

00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:42.077
and this is something to be taken up
by peoples and states. So let us work

00:55:42.160 --> 00:55:45.357
together within the UN framework
and with the private sector to define the

00:55:45.440 --> 00:55:49.677
rules for this new age to strengthen
our safeguards without delay and to

00:55:49.760 --> 00:55:51.117
establish global governance for

00:55:51.200 --> 00:55:53.517
artificial intelligence to benefit our

00:55:53.600 --> 00:55:57.037
collective security but also the human

00:55:57.120 --> 00:56:00.077
person and human dignity. I now resume

00:56:00.160 --> 00:56:03.277
my functions as the president of the

00:56:03.360 --> 00:56:07.997
council and I give the floor to his
excellency Mr. Muhammad Ishagdar, deputy

00:56:08.080 --> 00:56:11.677
prime minister and minister
foreign affairs of Pakistan.

00:56:11.760 --> 00:56:14.397
Thank you, Mr. President. I thank France

00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:17.437
for convening this uh meeting today and

00:56:17.520 --> 00:56:20.717
also appreciate the briefers for their

00:56:20.800 --> 00:56:23.277
invaluable insights.

00:56:23.360 --> 00:56:25.597
Artificial intelligence is increasingly

00:56:25.680 --> 00:56:29.597
transforming all areas of life with deep

00:56:29.680 --> 00:56:32.797
impact on societies, economies, and

00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:36.797
security. The opportunities
are immense, but so

00:56:36.880 --> 00:56:38.797
are the challenges.

00:56:38.880 --> 00:56:42.317
AI's impact is sharply evident in the

00:56:42.400 --> 00:56:44.397
context of international and regional

00:56:44.480 --> 00:56:46.397
peace and stability.

00:56:46.480 --> 00:56:50.077
As a force multiplier and crosscutting

00:56:50.160 --> 00:56:53.597
dual use technology, AI is defining the

00:56:53.680 --> 00:56:57.357
new chapter of modern warfare.

00:56:57.440 --> 00:57:00.317
The debate has shifted markedly in

00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:04.077
recent times. Those at the vanguard of

00:57:04.160 --> 00:57:08.317
AI development have themselves
acknowledged that the pace of

00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:10.877
development of new AI systems could

00:57:10.960 --> 00:57:13.997
outturn our ability to understand and

00:57:14.080 --> 00:57:17.037
control them. Some have called for the

00:57:17.120 --> 00:57:20.717
frontier to be paced cautiously in order

00:57:20.800 --> 00:57:24.797
to mitigate catastrophic risks. Mr.

00:57:24.880 --> 00:57:27.357
President, I will now make following

00:57:27.440 --> 00:57:30.157
five points. One,

00:57:30.240 --> 00:57:32.797
the foremost priority is to retain human

00:57:32.880 --> 00:57:36.077
judgment and control in all stages of AI

00:57:36.160 --> 00:57:40.317
design, development and integration.

00:57:40.400 --> 00:57:43.117
Humans must remain in control to define

00:57:43.200 --> 00:57:46.477
structures of AI systems as well as to

00:57:46.560 --> 00:57:49.357
limit speed and nature of its future

00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:51.117
capabilities.

00:57:51.200 --> 00:57:54.797
Two, we must ensure that AI does not

00:57:54.880 --> 00:57:58.557
become another facet of the ongoing arms

00:57:58.640 --> 00:58:02.157
race. Concerted efforts are required to

00:58:02.240 --> 00:58:05.277
erect the necessary guard rails,

00:58:05.360 --> 00:58:09.437
regulations, and governance frameworks.

00:58:09.520 --> 00:58:12.477
In the military domain, we need measures

00:58:12.560 --> 00:58:15.437
of restraint and confidence building to

00:58:15.520 --> 00:58:19.037
address the risks of miscalculation and

00:58:19.120 --> 00:58:21.597
compressed decision-m.

00:58:21.680 --> 00:58:24.957
Three, it should not be monopoly of few

00:58:25.040 --> 00:58:27.997
actors. It should rather serve to

00:58:28.080 --> 00:58:32.317
address common challenges facing humanity.

00:58:32.400 --> 00:58:34.077
International collaboration in the

00:58:34.160 --> 00:58:37.677
development of AI is crucial to ensure

00:58:37.760 --> 00:58:40.717
that it is representative,

00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:42.237
comprehensive,

00:58:42.320 --> 00:58:46.157
transparent and inclusive. Four, AI is

00:58:46.240 --> 00:58:48.637
supercharging existing challenges such

00:58:48.720 --> 00:58:50.557
as misinformation,

00:58:50.640 --> 00:58:54.157
fake news, cyber attacks, including on

00:58:54.240 --> 00:58:56.557
critical infrastructure by state and

00:58:56.640 --> 00:59:00.157
non-state actors. We must undertake

00:59:00.240 --> 00:59:03.117
concrete actions to address the gaps and

00:59:03.200 --> 00:59:05.677
challenges that carry huge implications

00:59:05.760 --> 00:59:10.877
for peace and security.
Five, unfortunately,

00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:14.477
rather than focusing
on collective opportunity

00:59:14.560 --> 00:59:17.277
for our shared benefit, some are

00:59:17.360 --> 00:59:20.157
resorting to putting barriers to

00:59:20.240 --> 00:59:22.957
technology transfer. However, as

00:59:23.040 --> 00:59:26.637
witnessed in case of other technologies,

00:59:26.720 --> 00:59:29.357
the democratization of AI would be

00:59:29.440 --> 00:59:31.837
realized eventually.

00:59:31.920 --> 00:59:34.717
Measures pursued in the name of safety

00:59:34.800 --> 00:59:37.917
must not become instrument instruments

00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:41.757
of denial of technology. Mr. President,

00:59:41.840 --> 00:59:44.157
Pakistan takes the call to pace the AI

00:59:44.240 --> 00:59:47.037
frontier seriously. We welcome the

00:59:47.120 --> 00:59:49.277
recognition that no single company or

00:59:49.360 --> 00:59:52.717
country can manage these risks alone and

00:59:52.800 --> 00:59:55.597
that competitive pressures are driving a

00:59:55.680 --> 00:59:59.357
race that no one can win safely. But

00:59:59.440 --> 01:00:02.317
pacing must not become a new form of

01:00:02.400 --> 01:00:03.917
gatekeeping.

01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:06.557
If the speed of the frontier is set by a

01:00:06.640 --> 01:00:10.477
few among a few while others are held

01:00:10.560 --> 01:00:13.357
back through restrictions, today's

01:00:13.440 --> 01:00:17.197
asymmetries and divide would aggravate

01:00:17.280 --> 01:00:21.037
and a safety agenda would turn into a

01:00:21.120 --> 01:00:24.157
strategy of technological exclusion.

01:00:24.240 --> 01:00:27.117
The risks of uncontrolled AI would be

01:00:27.200 --> 01:00:30.477
born by all. decisions on how to manage

01:00:30.560 --> 01:00:33.277
them cannot rest with a handful of

01:00:33.360 --> 01:00:37.197
companies or capitals. Mr. President,

01:00:37.280 --> 01:00:39.597
therefore it is critical to avoid

01:00:39.680 --> 01:00:42.557
fragmentation in AI development and

01:00:42.640 --> 01:00:46.397
governance, discriminatory agendas and

01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:48.877
inequitable forums

01:00:48.960 --> 01:00:51.117
with select representation are not

01:00:51.200 --> 01:00:54.157
helpful. Importantly, all relevant

01:00:54.240 --> 01:00:57.277
issues concerning the development and

01:00:57.360 --> 01:01:00.797
and deployment of AI as well as its

01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:03.357
broader implication should be taken up

01:01:03.440 --> 01:01:06.157
comprehensively in representative and

01:01:06.240 --> 01:01:08.797
inclusive forums with universal

01:01:08.880 --> 01:01:12.397
participation under the UN opaces. We

01:01:12.480 --> 01:01:15.597
welcome the convening of the first UN

01:01:15.680 --> 01:01:17.837
global dialogue on AI governance this

01:01:17.920 --> 01:01:21.437
year late in Geneva. Mr. President

01:01:21.520 --> 01:01:25.517
Pakistan extends this support
to all collaborative efforts at the

01:01:25.600 --> 01:01:27.917
international arena to reap benefits of

01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:30.957
AI and address challenges in a

01:01:31.040 --> 01:01:34.557
cooperative manner. In this respect, we

01:01:34.640 --> 01:01:37.757
were happy to join as founding member of

01:01:37.840 --> 01:01:40.237
the China's initiative of establishing

01:01:40.320 --> 01:01:44.877
the World Artificial Intelligence
Cooperation Organization as this

01:01:44.960 --> 01:01:47.197
represents a concrete step towards

01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:49.437
promoting the development of artificial

01:01:49.520 --> 01:01:52.637
intelligence for good and for all. Mr.

01:01:52.720 --> 01:01:55.517
President, for such a wide ranging and

01:01:55.600 --> 01:01:58.397
fast developing technology, confidence

01:01:58.480 --> 01:02:01.197
building measures play a vital role in

01:02:01.280 --> 01:02:03.757
the maintenance of international and

01:02:03.840 --> 01:02:06.397
regional peace and security. Practical

01:02:06.480 --> 01:02:09.437
tools designed to reduce mistrust,

01:02:09.520 --> 01:02:12.557
prevent accidental escalation and manage

01:02:12.640 --> 01:02:14.797
risk related to military and

01:02:14.880 --> 01:02:18.077
foundational AI system are necessary for

01:02:18.160 --> 01:02:20.637
peace and security. Mr. President

01:02:20.720 --> 01:02:23.037
Pakistan reaffirms its commitment to

01:02:23.120 --> 01:02:25.597
advance international cooperation in the

01:02:25.680 --> 01:02:28.237
area of artificial intelligence. We look

01:02:28.320 --> 01:02:30.477
forward to working closely with member

01:02:30.560 --> 01:02:33.037
states in efforts to help bridge the

01:02:33.120 --> 01:02:35.997
global AI divide and promote equitable

01:02:36.080 --> 01:02:38.317
access to advance peace and development

01:02:38.400 --> 01:02:41.837
for all. I thank you Mr. President.

01:02:41.920 --> 01:02:46.477
>> I thank his excellency Mr. Darf for
the statement. I now give the floor to his

01:02:46.560 --> 01:02:49.997
excellency Mr. Lars look as sen
minister foreign affairs of Denmark.

01:02:50.080 --> 01:02:53.757
>> President at th out said I want to
express my appreciation to France and to

01:02:53.840 --> 01:02:57.757
you foreign minister Bahu for having
convened uh what I think is a very very

01:02:57.840 --> 01:03:00.397
timely session on this uh significant

01:03:00.480 --> 01:03:03.837
topic. Let me also thank Mr. Benj for

01:03:03.920 --> 01:03:06.237
briefing us and for your work in the

01:03:06.320 --> 01:03:09.277
United Nations scientific panel on AI

01:03:09.360 --> 01:03:12.477
and thank you also Mr. Oldman, Mr. Amod

01:03:12.560 --> 01:03:15.277
and Mr. Dong in particular as

01:03:15.360 --> 01:03:19.917
practitioners and and leaders in this
field for your insightful reflections.

01:03:20.000 --> 01:03:22.237
You are at the forefront of the new

01:03:22.320 --> 01:03:24.477
frontier and we very much welcome your

01:03:24.560 --> 01:03:27.997
participation today. Today artificial

01:03:28.080 --> 01:03:30.157
intelligence is constantly developing

01:03:30.240 --> 01:03:35.037
and reaching capabilities we are only
I can only talk for myself but I think

01:03:35.120 --> 01:03:39.037
also generally speaking we are only
beginning to understand. There's no

01:03:39.120 --> 01:03:43.437
doubt that AIdriven technologies
have the opportunity to strengthen and

01:03:43.520 --> 01:03:45.517
promote international peace and security

01:03:45.600 --> 01:03:48.397
and development, especially in light of

01:03:48.480 --> 01:03:51.197
the recent giant leaps forward in the

01:03:51.280 --> 01:03:53.837
capabilities of AI.

01:03:53.920 --> 01:03:56.957
The growing emergence of AI technology

01:03:57.040 --> 01:03:59.597
offers the potential to support this

01:03:59.680 --> 01:04:01.997
council's mandate. For instance, to

01:04:02.080 --> 01:04:04.397
enhance peaceuilding and peacekeeping

01:04:04.480 --> 01:04:07.037
through information verification, early

01:04:07.120 --> 01:04:09.037
warning, and in support of planning and

01:04:09.120 --> 01:04:12.397
operating the missions in areas where

01:04:12.480 --> 01:04:14.797
the UN is denied access, satellite

01:04:14.880 --> 01:04:17.677
technology and AI software programs have

01:04:17.760 --> 01:04:20.157
helped the UN identify patterns of

01:04:20.240 --> 01:04:24.797
attacks and destruction
of essential civilian infrastructure.

01:04:24.880 --> 01:04:26.877
Such information can play a vital role

01:04:26.960 --> 01:04:29.597
in alerting the security council. It can

01:04:29.680 --> 01:04:32.557
help us all to take timely action and

01:04:32.640 --> 01:04:35.757
prevent crisis from escalating.

01:04:35.840 --> 01:04:37.757
At the same time, we must recognize the

01:04:37.840 --> 01:04:40.477
risks presented by the development, use

01:04:40.560 --> 01:04:43.437
and misuse of new and emerging AI

01:04:43.520 --> 01:04:46.317
technology, in particular, frontier AI

01:04:46.400 --> 01:04:49.277
models and lack of human control. This

01:04:49.360 --> 01:04:51.997
is the aim behind the call for control

01:04:52.080 --> 01:04:57.437
of frontier AI models initiated by Finland
and Norway and already supported

01:04:57.520 --> 01:04:58.957
by a number of countries including

01:04:59.040 --> 01:05:01.837
Denmark. We need global com cooperation

01:05:01.920 --> 01:05:05.037
on this agenda. Mr. President, the

01:05:05.120 --> 01:05:06.957
tension between on the one hand the

01:05:07.040 --> 01:05:09.677
important opportunities and on the other

01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:12.637
hand the risk defines one of the most

01:05:12.720 --> 01:05:14.957
urgent challenges of our time and why

01:05:15.040 --> 01:05:17.197
that's why I think this discussion is

01:05:17.280 --> 01:05:20.397
very timely. Overcoming these challenge

01:05:20.480 --> 01:05:23.117
requires global AI governance u

01:05:23.200 --> 01:05:24.877
strengthened international cooperation

01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:28.077
and determined action without widening

01:05:28.160 --> 01:05:31.517
the global digital divide. The UN's

01:05:31.600 --> 01:05:33.837
global dialogue on AI governance is an

01:05:33.920 --> 01:05:36.237
important first step.

01:05:36.320 --> 01:05:39.757
Governance and regulation of AI are high

01:05:39.840 --> 01:05:42.237
on Denmark's agenda, including

01:05:42.320 --> 01:05:45.997
regulation of large uh tech companies.

01:05:46.080 --> 01:05:47.837
These efforts are not breaks on

01:05:47.920 --> 01:05:50.717
innovation and growth. They are, I

01:05:50.800 --> 01:05:53.677
think, essential efforts to ensure that

01:05:53.760 --> 01:05:56.797
technological progress serves the public

01:05:56.880 --> 01:05:59.917
interest and humanity in general.

01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:02.957
The unprecedented speed of AI innovation

01:06:03.040 --> 01:06:06.237
demonstrates the need for safeguards to

01:06:06.320 --> 01:06:10.077
ensure AI systems remain safe, remain

01:06:10.160 --> 01:06:12.637
secure and trustworthy.

01:06:12.720 --> 01:06:14.717
Uncontrolled new technology could lead

01:06:14.800 --> 01:06:17.917
to dangerous and harmful effects.

01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:21.037
We are already seeing how they pose new

01:06:21.120 --> 01:06:24.237
threats, including to those who protect

01:06:24.320 --> 01:06:26.477
civilians in conflict. Above all, the

01:06:26.560 --> 01:06:29.757
medical mission. So Denmark underlines

01:06:29.840 --> 01:06:34.397
uh the importance of ensuring
the responsible use of AI and that the use

01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:36.157
of AI is in accordance with

01:06:36.240 --> 01:06:39.437
international law. In this regard, we

01:06:39.520 --> 01:06:41.437
call on all states to ensure human

01:06:41.520 --> 01:06:44.637
control of AI and accountability for the

01:06:44.720 --> 01:06:48.077
development and use of AI, not least in

01:06:48.160 --> 01:06:51.197
the military domain where accountability

01:06:51.280 --> 01:06:55.997
is absolutely essential. Mr. President,
Denmark will continue to support the

01:06:56.080 --> 01:07:00.157
meaningful engagement of the security
council and promote an inclusive

01:07:00.240 --> 01:07:02.477
multistakeholder approach to AI

01:07:02.560 --> 01:07:04.797
governance. Civil society and the

01:07:04.880 --> 01:07:07.917
private sector must play leading roles.

01:07:08.000 --> 01:07:11.197
Science and evidence must always inform

01:07:11.280 --> 01:07:14.637
our uh policies. We see the independent

01:07:14.720 --> 01:07:16.797
international scientific panel as an

01:07:16.880 --> 01:07:19.037
important contribution to credible and

01:07:19.120 --> 01:07:21.837
evidence-based AI governance. The panel

01:07:21.920 --> 01:07:24.957
provides us with a common scientific

01:07:25.040 --> 01:07:27.837
reference point. So, Mr. President, in

01:07:27.920 --> 01:07:30.957
in in in closing, we need to consider

01:07:31.040 --> 01:07:33.837
how AI can contribute positively to

01:07:33.920 --> 01:07:35.677
shape international peace and security

01:07:35.760 --> 01:07:38.957
and bridge global digital divides. At

01:07:39.040 --> 01:07:42.157
the same time, we must remain cleareyed

01:07:42.240 --> 01:07:44.717
of the significant risks and start

01:07:44.800 --> 01:07:48.397
building some strong u guard rails so we

01:07:48.480 --> 01:07:50.797
can manage the global risk in due time.

01:07:50.880 --> 01:07:54.120
Thank you.

01:07:54.240 --> 01:07:57.197
>> I thank his excellency

01:07:57.280 --> 01:07:59.517
Mr. Esmson for his statement and I now

01:07:59.600 --> 01:08:02.877
give the floor for Carlos,

01:08:02.960 --> 01:08:07.037
Minister of Foreign Affairs for Panama.

01:08:07.120 --> 01:08:10.557
>> Thank you, Mr. Minister, Mr. President.

01:08:10.640 --> 01:08:13.437
We thank France for convening this

01:08:13.520 --> 01:08:15.757
important meeting.

01:08:15.840 --> 01:08:19.517
Moreover, we thank Mr. Yoshua Benjio,

01:08:19.600 --> 01:08:21.357
co-chair of the independent scientific

01:08:21.440 --> 01:08:22.877
panel of the United Nations on

01:08:22.960 --> 01:08:26.557
artificial intelligence, Mr. Sam Alman,

01:08:26.640 --> 01:08:31.117
CEO of OpenAI, Mr. Dario Amade, CEO of

01:08:31.200 --> 01:08:35.517
Anthropic, and Mr. Clemont Dong, CEO of

01:08:35.600 --> 01:08:40.360
Hugging Face, for their
valuable presentations.

01:08:40.720 --> 01:08:44.317
Although today's meeting invites
us to consider the risks caused and

01:08:44.400 --> 01:08:47.277
exacerbated by artificial intelligence

01:08:47.360 --> 01:08:49.917
for Panama, it is necessary to begin

01:08:50.000 --> 01:08:52.477
this statement by highlighting its

01:08:52.560 --> 01:08:54.797
potential to transform the world in

01:08:54.880 --> 01:08:57.117
which we live.

01:08:57.200 --> 01:08:59.837
The capacity of these technologies to

01:08:59.920 --> 01:09:02.957
analyze enormous amounts of information,

01:09:03.040 --> 01:09:06.717
identify patterns, generate increasingly

01:09:06.800 --> 01:09:09.357
sophisticated videos, images, and code,

01:09:09.440 --> 01:09:11.917
to automate tasks, and to support

01:09:12.000 --> 01:09:14.717
planning and decision-making processes

01:09:14.800 --> 01:09:19.277
are all evidence of a transformation
that is already underway, the scope of

01:09:19.360 --> 01:09:21.517
which we are barely beginning to

01:09:21.600 --> 01:09:25.597
understand. These tools have a wide

01:09:25.680 --> 01:09:27.597
array of applications that can benefit

01:09:27.680 --> 01:09:30.717
humanity. In Panama, our own national

01:09:30.800 --> 01:09:35.517
artificial intelligence strategy
is identifying opportunities in sectors

01:09:35.600 --> 01:09:37.197
such as healthcare, agriculture,

01:09:37.280 --> 01:09:39.997
education, and logistics where these

01:09:40.080 --> 01:09:42.797
technologies can offer solutions which

01:09:42.880 --> 01:09:45.197
just a few years ago would have seemed

01:09:45.280 --> 01:09:47.357
unimaginable.

01:09:47.440 --> 01:09:51.757
And it is specifically in this area of

01:09:51.840 --> 01:09:54.637
progress where if applied to other

01:09:54.720 --> 01:09:56.877
purposes, we also see the main risks

01:09:56.960 --> 01:09:59.037
emerging. Artificial intelligence can

01:09:59.120 --> 01:10:01.757
also be used to amplify disinformation

01:10:01.840 --> 01:10:04.797
campaigns to allow for cyber attacks

01:10:04.880 --> 01:10:07.517
against critical infrastructure and to

01:10:07.600 --> 01:10:12.397
facilitate access to knowledge for the
development of weapons among other uses

01:10:12.480 --> 01:10:16.157
that are already a threat
to international security. And these risks

01:10:16.240 --> 01:10:18.077
are not hypothetical scenarios. We are

01:10:18.160 --> 01:10:22.797
beginning to see them come to pass in

01:10:22.880 --> 01:10:26.557
situations that are directly related
to this council. There are recent reports

01:10:26.640 --> 01:10:31.677
on the use of artificial intelligence by
non-state actors to develop guidance and

01:10:31.760 --> 01:10:34.957
navigation systems
for rockets and missiles.

01:10:35.040 --> 01:10:39.597
On top of that, there are reports
of autonomous weapons being used that are

01:10:39.680 --> 01:10:41.517
able to navigate and select targets

01:10:41.600 --> 01:10:44.317
completely independently or with very

01:10:44.400 --> 01:10:47.117
limited human intervention.

01:10:47.200 --> 01:10:49.837
It is precisely this growing autonomy

01:10:49.920 --> 01:10:54.797
which raises one of the most serious
concerns that was noted in the concept

01:10:54.880 --> 01:10:58.317
note for this meeting. That is the
possibility that the evolution of these

01:10:58.400 --> 01:11:03.037
systems could exceed our ability
to maintain effective human control of

01:11:03.120 --> 01:11:06.877
them. There are decisions
which by their very

01:11:06.960 --> 01:11:09.597
nature cannot be reduced to a

01:11:09.680 --> 01:11:11.437
statistical result, a statistical

01:11:11.520 --> 01:11:14.077
outcome. When human lives are at stake,

01:11:14.160 --> 01:11:18.877
it is vital that ethical, legal, and
contextual considerations be taken into

01:11:18.960 --> 01:11:20.957
account, which no calculation or

01:11:21.040 --> 01:11:25.117
algorithmic system can replace.

01:11:25.200 --> 01:11:27.757
This concern for control is not limited

01:11:27.840 --> 01:11:31.437
to extreme scenarios. As we begin to use

01:11:31.520 --> 01:11:35.117
analysis produced by artificial
intelligence to steer and guide our

01:11:35.200 --> 01:11:39.357
decisions, it is essential that those
that are in leadership positions uh be

01:11:39.440 --> 01:11:44.157
able to understand how these tools have
arrived at a certain recommendation,

01:11:44.240 --> 01:11:45.837
what information underpins that

01:11:45.920 --> 01:11:47.837
recommendation, and what the margin of

01:11:47.920 --> 01:11:51.757
error is. Mr. President recognizing the

01:11:51.840 --> 01:11:53.837
risks of artificial intelligence does

01:11:53.920 --> 01:11:57.037
not mean ignoring the benefits that this

01:11:57.120 --> 01:11:59.197
technology is already providing our

01:11:59.280 --> 01:12:02.557
societies. The challenge is finding a

01:12:02.640 --> 01:12:07.197
balance that allows us to take advantage
of these opportunities while also

01:12:07.280 --> 01:12:11.437
responding to the risks with uh
responsibly. In that regard, Panama

01:12:11.520 --> 01:12:15.357
recognizes the important role
of the International Scientific Panel on

01:12:15.440 --> 01:12:17.677
artificial intelligence to provide

01:12:17.760 --> 01:12:22.557
impartial and scientific information
that can guide the discussions of the

01:12:22.640 --> 01:12:24.077
international community on these

01:12:24.160 --> 01:12:27.917
technologies. Equally, we welcome the

01:12:28.000 --> 01:12:30.557
initiative of the tech sector actors

01:12:30.640 --> 01:12:32.957
here present to proactively share

01:12:33.040 --> 01:12:35.677
information about specific cases of the

01:12:35.760 --> 01:12:37.997
misuse of these technologies and also

01:12:38.080 --> 01:12:40.797
about incidents in which their growing

01:12:40.880 --> 01:12:43.917
autonomy has generated concerns about

01:12:44.000 --> 01:12:48.557
the possible loss
of human control of them.

01:12:48.640 --> 01:12:50.557
President,

01:12:50.640 --> 01:12:52.397
>> this meeting is evidence that in order

01:12:52.480 --> 01:12:55.917
to address the range of risks related to

01:12:56.000 --> 01:13:00.957
artificial intelligence, closer
cooperation between states, the tech

01:13:01.040 --> 01:13:02.877
sector, and other relevant actors will

01:13:02.960 --> 01:13:05.597
be essential. To that end, it is

01:13:05.680 --> 01:13:07.997
essential that we establish mechanisms

01:13:08.080 --> 01:13:11.037
for a more structured and permanent

01:13:11.120 --> 01:13:13.277
exchange of information on emerging

01:13:13.360 --> 01:13:16.637
risks, incidents, misuse, and good

01:13:16.720 --> 01:13:21.277
practices. artificial
intelligence will inevitably

01:13:21.360 --> 01:13:23.277
continue to evolve and continue to

01:13:23.360 --> 01:13:26.397
transform the world in which we live

01:13:26.480 --> 01:13:31.037
and the testimonies that we've
heard today are evidence of that. Our

01:13:31.120 --> 01:13:33.197
responsibility is to make sure that this

01:13:33.280 --> 01:13:35.837
progress continues to be in the service

01:13:35.920 --> 01:13:38.317
of people and that it contributes to the

01:13:38.400 --> 01:13:40.557
construction of safer, more peaceful,

01:13:40.640 --> 01:13:45.437
more prosperous societies with a
perspective of equity that allows all of

01:13:45.520 --> 01:13:49.517
the nations of the world including the
global south to participate and benefit

01:13:49.600 --> 01:13:52.317
from its development. Thank you very much.

01:13:52.400 --> 01:13:55.197
I thank his excellency for his statement

01:13:55.280 --> 01:13:58.237
and I now give the floor to

01:13:58.320 --> 01:14:02.877
his excellency Christos menopolis deputy
minister for digital governance and AI

01:14:02.960 --> 01:14:05.997
of Greece. >> Mr.
President, I wish to begin by

01:14:06.080 --> 01:14:10.477
thanking France along along with the
briefers for their remarks and for

01:14:10.560 --> 01:14:13.757
bringing to the attention of the
security council the crucial issue of

01:14:13.840 --> 01:14:16.157
the link between the rapid technological

01:14:16.240 --> 01:14:20.957
advances in the field of AI
and international peace and security. A

01:14:21.040 --> 01:14:23.117
subject that we will also tackle during

01:14:23.200 --> 01:14:26.877
our presidency. AI is already changing

01:14:26.960 --> 01:14:28.557
the way we think about international

01:14:28.640 --> 01:14:30.957
peace and security. It can help us

01:14:31.040 --> 01:14:34.157
prevent conflict, improve early warning,

01:14:34.240 --> 01:14:37.197
and make UN operations more effective.

01:14:37.280 --> 01:14:39.277
But it also creates risks that we are

01:14:39.360 --> 01:14:41.597
only beginning to understand. For

01:14:41.680 --> 01:14:44.477
Greece, our starting point is clear. AI

01:14:44.560 --> 01:14:47.357
must remain humanentric, secure, and

01:14:47.440 --> 01:14:50.157
trustworthy. It development and use must

01:14:50.240 --> 01:14:52.157
respect international law including the

01:14:52.240 --> 01:14:57.357
UN charter, international humanitarian
law and international human rights law

01:14:57.440 --> 01:15:00.957
and human responsibility and
accountability must remain at the center

01:15:01.040 --> 01:15:03.677
of our approach. Our national approach

01:15:03.760 --> 01:15:06.397
combines innovation with governance.

01:15:06.480 --> 01:15:08.477
Greece has established the special

01:15:08.560 --> 01:15:11.517
secretariat for AI and data governance,

01:15:11.600 --> 01:15:16.717
implemented the national law for the EU
AI act, and is investing in strategic

01:15:16.800 --> 01:15:18.477
infrastructure including the

01:15:18.560 --> 01:15:22.157
supercomputer and the Faros AI factory.

01:15:22.240 --> 01:15:25.437
In April 2025, together with France and

01:15:25.520 --> 01:15:27.757
the Republic of Korea, Greece organized

01:15:27.840 --> 01:15:29.997
an area formula meeting on harnessing

01:15:30.080 --> 01:15:33.117
safe, inclusive, and trustworthy AI for

01:15:33.200 --> 01:15:37.437
the maintenance of international peace
and security. Today's discussion give us

01:15:37.520 --> 01:15:39.677
an opportunity to take that conversation

01:15:39.760 --> 01:15:43.277
further. Allow me to make three points.

01:15:43.360 --> 01:15:46.157
First, we need to better understand the

01:15:46.240 --> 01:15:49.677
risks. AI can process enormous amounts

01:15:49.760 --> 01:15:52.077
of information and help us make better

01:15:52.160 --> 01:15:54.797
informed decisions. But speed is not

01:15:54.880 --> 01:15:57.517
always an advantage. In situations of

01:15:57.600 --> 01:15:59.677
crisis, AI can compress the time

01:15:59.760 --> 01:16:01.917
available for decisions and encourage

01:16:02.000 --> 01:16:05.277
excessive reliance on automated outputs.

01:16:05.360 --> 01:16:09.037
As AI increasingly enters
decision-making processes, we must

01:16:09.120 --> 01:16:11.517
ensure that greater speed does not come

01:16:11.600 --> 01:16:15.037
at the expense of sound human judgment.

01:16:15.120 --> 01:16:17.037
These concerns become even more serious

01:16:17.120 --> 01:16:19.517
when AI enters military decision-

01:16:19.600 --> 01:16:22.077
making. Technology can assist human

01:16:22.160 --> 01:16:24.957
judgment. It cannot replace it.

01:16:25.040 --> 01:16:26.797
Responsibility and accountability for

01:16:26.880 --> 01:16:29.277
critical decisions must always remain

01:16:29.360 --> 01:16:32.877
human. Nowhere in is this more important

01:16:32.960 --> 01:16:35.677
than in the nuclear domain. We must be

01:16:35.760 --> 01:16:38.077
extremely cautious about not integrating

01:16:38.160 --> 01:16:41.357
AI into nuclear command and control. The

01:16:41.440 --> 01:16:43.517
risk of miscalculation and unintended

01:16:43.600 --> 01:16:46.877
escalation are simply too great.

01:16:46.960 --> 01:16:48.877
Decisions of such consequence must

01:16:48.960 --> 01:16:51.517
remain under human control.

01:16:51.600 --> 01:16:54.157
Second, we need practical ways to reduce

01:16:54.240 --> 01:16:57.357
these risks. This starts with dialogue.

01:16:57.440 --> 01:17:01.437
We need greater transparency,
confidence building and a better common

01:17:01.520 --> 01:17:03.277
understanding of how international law

01:17:03.360 --> 01:17:05.757
applies to the development and use of

01:17:05.840 --> 01:17:09.757
AI. Important work is already under way.

01:17:09.840 --> 01:17:11.917
The reaim process and the political

01:17:12.000 --> 01:17:14.237
declaration responsible military use of

01:17:14.320 --> 01:17:17.517
AI and autonomy have helped advance the

01:17:17.600 --> 01:17:22.557
international discussion on responsible
military uses of AI. The United Nations

01:17:22.640 --> 01:17:24.477
has an essential role in bringing these

01:17:24.560 --> 01:17:27.277
different efforts together. The Security

01:17:27.360 --> 01:17:30.157
Council also has a role to play not in

01:17:30.240 --> 01:17:32.317
regulating technology and not in

01:17:32.400 --> 01:17:35.277
duplicating the work of other UN bodies.

01:17:35.360 --> 01:17:39.597
Our responsibility is to understand
what these technologies mean for

01:17:39.680 --> 01:17:41.917
international peace and security and to

01:17:42.000 --> 01:17:44.877
act when those implications fall within

01:17:44.960 --> 01:17:48.557
our mandate. Third, addressing risk

01:17:48.640 --> 01:17:51.357
should not mean holding back innovation.

01:17:51.440 --> 01:17:53.277
We should make use of the opportunities

01:17:53.360 --> 01:17:55.997
AI provides while putting appropriate

01:17:56.080 --> 01:17:58.717
safeguards in place and we cannot have

01:17:58.800 --> 01:18:00.717
this discussion without those who

01:18:00.800 --> 01:18:03.997
develop and use these technologies. We

01:18:04.080 --> 01:18:06.157
therefore support close engagement with

01:18:06.240 --> 01:18:09.117
academia, civil society and the private

01:18:09.200 --> 01:18:11.677
sector alongside states and the United

01:18:11.760 --> 01:18:14.157
Nations. Such engagement should be

01:18:14.240 --> 01:18:17.117
inclusive, geographically representative

01:18:17.200 --> 01:18:21.037
and gender balanced. Mr. President, AI

01:18:21.120 --> 01:18:23.037
will increasingly affect international

01:18:23.120 --> 01:18:25.597
peace and security. We cannot stop

01:18:25.680 --> 01:18:28.157
technological change, nor should we seek

01:18:28.240 --> 01:18:31.037
to. But we can work together to ensure

01:18:31.120 --> 01:18:33.517
that human beings remain responsible for

01:18:33.600 --> 01:18:36.957
decisions that matter most. For Greece,

01:18:37.040 --> 01:18:41.357
this means keeping international law,
human responsibility, and accountability

01:18:41.440 --> 01:18:43.757
at the center of our approach. It also

01:18:43.840 --> 01:18:46.717
means keeping this council focused on

01:18:46.800 --> 01:18:51.117
its primarily responsibility,
the maintenance of international peace and

01:18:51.200 --> 01:18:53.517
security. So, Greece will continue to

01:18:53.600 --> 01:18:55.437
work with all members of the council

01:18:55.520 --> 01:18:59.597
towards this objective. Thank you.

01:18:59.680 --> 01:19:02.237
>> I thank his excellency Mr. Demanopulos

01:19:02.320 --> 01:19:04.557
for his statement. I now give the floor

01:19:04.640 --> 01:19:07.757
to his excellency Mr. Ali Muhammad Omar,

01:19:07.840 --> 01:19:12.760
state minister for foreign
affairs of Somalia.

01:19:15.120 --> 01:19:17.117
Mr. President, I thank France for

01:19:17.200 --> 01:19:20.157
convening this timely debate. I also

01:19:20.240 --> 01:19:24.077
thank Mr. Banio, Oldman, Almadeo, and

01:19:24.160 --> 01:19:27.677
Dingua for their insightful briefing.

01:19:27.760 --> 01:19:29.597
Artificial intelligence is no longer

01:19:29.680 --> 01:19:32.077
only a technological or a developmental

01:19:32.160 --> 01:19:35.757
issue. is our current reality. Rapidly

01:19:35.840 --> 01:19:38.477
transforming society,

01:19:38.560 --> 01:19:41.037
economies and our approach to peace and

01:19:41.120 --> 01:19:43.997
security. It is role in a cyber

01:19:44.080 --> 01:19:46.477
operationist disinformation, critical

01:19:46.560 --> 01:19:48.877
infrastructure and military decision

01:19:48.960 --> 01:19:51.277
making places it firmly within the

01:19:51.360 --> 01:19:53.597
United Nations mandate.

01:19:53.680 --> 01:19:55.997
We must prevent AI from becoming a

01:19:56.080 --> 01:19:59.197
driver of a conflict while actively

01:19:59.280 --> 01:20:02.477
supporting its responsible use in early

01:20:02.560 --> 01:20:04.557
warning, crisis prevention,

01:20:04.640 --> 01:20:07.037
peacekeeping, humanitarian action and

01:20:07.120 --> 01:20:09.997
civilian protection. In that vein, four

01:20:10.080 --> 01:20:11.917
core principles

01:20:12.000 --> 01:20:15.837
should guide us. Number one, first the

01:20:15.920 --> 01:20:17.917
human responsibility must remain

01:20:18.000 --> 01:20:21.277
absolute. AI must operate strictly

01:20:21.360 --> 01:20:23.197
within the framework of international

01:20:23.280 --> 01:20:26.157
law the purposes and the principles of

01:20:26.240 --> 01:20:28.397
the UN charter and the respect of her

01:20:28.480 --> 01:20:31.037
human rights and human dignity.

01:20:31.120 --> 01:20:34.157
States cannot delegate legal, ethical

01:20:34.240 --> 01:20:38.077
and moral accountability
to an algorithmist.

01:20:38.160 --> 01:20:40.477
We welcome the declaration affirming

01:20:40.560 --> 01:20:42.797
that AI must remain under human

01:20:42.880 --> 01:20:47.437
direction, insight and control.

01:20:47.520 --> 01:20:49.677
This principle is indispensable in

01:20:49.760 --> 01:20:52.957
decision involving the use of force,

01:20:53.040 --> 01:20:55.997
autonomous weapon system and nuclear

01:20:56.080 --> 01:20:59.917
command and control. Second, safety must

01:21:00.000 --> 01:21:03.357
must come before a deployment.

01:21:03.440 --> 01:21:06.157
Recent incidents involving AI agent

01:21:06.240 --> 01:21:09.357
reportedly bypassing safeguards,

01:21:09.440 --> 01:21:12.157
concealing their actions and obtaining

01:21:12.240 --> 01:21:13.757
unauthorized

01:21:13.840 --> 01:21:17.277
access raises a serious question about

01:21:17.360 --> 01:21:22.237
whether existing controllers can keep
base with the increasing autonomous

01:21:22.320 --> 01:21:25.917
systems. Private companies
develop and control

01:21:26.000 --> 01:21:28.637
many of these systems, but commercial

01:21:28.720 --> 01:21:31.357
incentives cannot determine how much

01:21:31.440 --> 01:21:35.837
risky a human must accept. We therefore

01:21:35.920 --> 01:21:39.517
support a mandatory incident reporting,

01:21:39.600 --> 01:21:41.677
layered technical safeguards,

01:21:41.760 --> 01:21:44.717
independent audits and measures to

01:21:44.800 --> 01:21:47.917
mitigate algorithmic bias and protect

01:21:48.000 --> 01:21:50.397
vulnerable populations.

01:21:50.480 --> 01:21:52.957
When agreed capability threshold are

01:21:53.040 --> 01:21:56.157
crossed, deployment must be suspended

01:21:56.240 --> 01:22:00.317
until risks can be reliably managed. The

01:22:00.400 --> 01:22:02.877
Secretary General's proposal to explore

01:22:02.960 --> 01:22:05.917
an international institution capable of

01:22:06.000 --> 01:22:09.597
setting standards enabling verification

01:22:09.680 --> 01:22:12.077
and convening states when such threshold

01:22:12.160 --> 01:22:14.877
are crossed deserves a careful

01:22:14.960 --> 01:22:18.477
consideration. Third, governance must

01:22:18.560 --> 01:22:21.917
address Africa's specific vulnerability

01:22:22.000 --> 01:22:25.117
and ensure equitable access. Limited

01:22:25.200 --> 01:22:27.597
computing infrastructure, unreliable

01:22:27.680 --> 01:22:30.557
connectivity, shortages of specialized

01:22:30.640 --> 01:22:33.917
expert and fragmented regulatory

01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:37.357
capacity constrain the the ability of

01:22:37.440 --> 01:22:40.717
many African states to evaluate advanced

01:22:40.800 --> 01:22:43.917
systems. modelist train it on a foreign

01:22:44.000 --> 01:22:47.437
data may misrepresent African language

01:22:47.520 --> 01:22:51.197
and context while synthetic synthetic

01:22:51.280 --> 01:22:55.517
data can inflame a social tensionist

01:22:55.600 --> 01:22:58.397
interfere in a fragile be processes and

01:22:58.480 --> 01:23:00.637
undermine elections.

01:23:00.720 --> 01:23:03.917
Africa cannot remain merely a market for

01:23:04.000 --> 01:23:07.277
system systems developed elsewhere, a

01:23:07.360 --> 01:23:09.917
source of a road data or a testing

01:23:10.000 --> 01:23:13.597
ground for a technology it did not help

01:23:13.680 --> 01:23:17.117
govern. We must we must prevent new

01:23:17.200 --> 01:23:20.477
forms of technological dependency and

01:23:20.560 --> 01:23:24.957
digital digital coloniz colonialism

01:23:25.040 --> 01:23:27.437
by supporting a regional framework

01:23:27.520 --> 01:23:30.077
particularly partnership with African

01:23:30.160 --> 01:23:32.797
Union and strategies like the ban

01:23:32.880 --> 01:23:35.197
African AI initiative.

01:23:35.280 --> 01:23:37.677
Developing countries require a targeted

01:23:37.760 --> 01:23:40.477
international cooperation, financing to

01:23:40.560 --> 01:23:43.277
bridge the digital and infrastructure,

01:23:43.360 --> 01:23:46.557
energy and skills divide alongside

01:23:46.640 --> 01:23:49.197
access to local data sets, evaluation

01:23:49.280 --> 01:23:52.717
tools and computing power. Ensuring

01:23:52.800 --> 01:23:55.277
every nation has the right to develop,

01:23:55.360 --> 01:24:00.557
choose and assess AI technology
is essential for a national digital

01:24:00.640 --> 01:24:04.237
sovereignty sovereignty
and our shared global

01:24:04.320 --> 01:24:07.357
stability. Fourth, the United Nation

01:24:07.440 --> 01:24:10.717
must serve as the main global

01:24:10.800 --> 01:24:13.357
as the main general for global govern AI

01:24:13.440 --> 01:24:17.757
governance. Somali supporters
international normies anchored in the

01:24:17.840 --> 01:24:20.317
universal legitimacy of the UN rather

01:24:20.400 --> 01:24:22.877
than fragmented rules established by

01:24:22.960 --> 01:24:25.757
small number of technological advanced

01:24:25.840 --> 01:24:28.317
states and private corporations that

01:24:28.400 --> 01:24:30.877
risk reinforcing existing global

01:24:30.960 --> 01:24:32.957
inequalities.

01:24:33.040 --> 01:24:36.237
Global governance must uphold a people

01:24:36.320 --> 01:24:39.597
centered approach that directs AI toward

01:24:39.680 --> 01:24:42.557
human well-being and common good.

01:24:42.640 --> 01:24:45.837
developing regional regionist Africa in

01:24:45.920 --> 01:24:48.317
particular must must be granted a

01:24:48.400 --> 01:24:51.437
genuine representation and a voice in

01:24:51.520 --> 01:24:54.477
these multilateral processes

01:24:54.560 --> 01:24:56.957
alongside the institution institutional

01:24:57.040 --> 01:24:59.437
and technological capacity to evaluate

01:24:59.520 --> 01:25:02.877
AI systems independently

01:25:02.960 --> 01:25:05.197
rather than relying on external

01:25:05.280 --> 01:25:07.597
determination. The measures of our

01:25:07.680 --> 01:25:10.637
success will not be the sophistication

01:25:10.720 --> 01:25:13.357
of our declaration, but whether we

01:25:13.440 --> 01:25:17.037
prevent the first AI enabled crisis from

01:25:17.120 --> 01:25:18.797
becoming the next international

01:25:18.880 --> 01:25:22.477
conflict. The power of AI intelligence

01:25:22.560 --> 01:25:26.077
does not entail inevitable outcome. It

01:25:26.160 --> 01:25:28.957
shaped and and and given meaning by our

01:25:29.040 --> 01:25:31.597
values and our choices. The technology

01:25:31.680 --> 01:25:34.237
is advancing quickly. Our collective

01:25:34.320 --> 01:25:37.277
responsibility must advance faster. I

01:25:37.360 --> 01:25:39.837
thank you.

01:25:39.920 --> 01:25:42.317
>> I thank his excellency Mr. Omar for his

01:25:42.400 --> 01:25:45.357
statement. I now give the floor to his

01:25:45.440 --> 01:25:50.077
excellency Mr. Ed Milliband, Minister
of Foreign Affairs. Uh Minister Secretary

01:25:50.160 --> 01:25:52.317
of State for Foreign Commonwealth and
Development Affairs of the United Kingdom.

01:25:52.400 --> 01:25:57.357
>> Uh can I really thank you for convening
this very very important uh session? And

01:25:57.440 --> 01:26:01.357
I also want to put on record my thanks
to the expert speakers uh who have

01:26:01.440 --> 01:26:03.597
provided such an illuminating uh

01:26:03.680 --> 01:26:06.877
contribution uh to this session.

01:26:06.960 --> 01:26:08.557
I think we should stand back and take

01:26:08.640 --> 01:26:12.237
stock of what confronts us uh in this

01:26:12.320 --> 01:26:15.117
session of the security council because

01:26:15.200 --> 01:26:17.677
AI is a technology which undoubtedly has

01:26:17.760 --> 01:26:19.677
the power to transform our world for the

01:26:19.760 --> 01:26:22.157
better. I'm sure we all see it in our

01:26:22.240 --> 01:26:25.117
daily lives. We see it in all of our

01:26:25.200 --> 01:26:27.917
countries. But today the founders of

01:26:28.000 --> 01:26:30.877
this technology are coming to us with a

01:26:30.960 --> 01:26:34.637
stark warning. They are telling us not

01:26:34.720 --> 01:26:37.517
just that they relish the chance of this

01:26:37.600 --> 01:26:41.597
technology to do good, but they fear its

01:26:41.680 --> 01:26:44.957
ability to do harm.

01:26:45.040 --> 01:26:48.397
They are telling us in stark terms that

01:26:48.480 --> 01:26:51.677
it cannot just be left to them to

01:26:51.760 --> 01:26:55.037
prevent disaster from befalling the

01:26:55.120 --> 01:26:56.557
world.

01:26:56.640 --> 01:27:00.557
I say today we cannot ignore them

01:27:00.640 --> 01:27:03.597
because they are right.

01:27:03.680 --> 01:27:05.517
Because we cannot abdicate our

01:27:05.600 --> 01:27:08.557
responsibility to our citizens. Because

01:27:08.640 --> 01:27:11.277
we cannot outsource to private companies

01:27:11.360 --> 01:27:14.717
the first duty of government to protect

01:27:14.800 --> 01:27:19.117
our people. Whatever the issue,

01:27:19.200 --> 01:27:23.037
this security council was founded
to address the great collective challenges

01:27:23.120 --> 01:27:26.077
of our time. So it is for governments

01:27:26.160 --> 01:27:30.717
for governments as many of the people
who have made contributions today from

01:27:30.800 --> 01:27:34.717
the tech world have said for all of us
around tables such as this to work

01:27:34.800 --> 01:27:39.037
together and together with industry
to deliver in the interests of the people

01:27:39.120 --> 01:27:41.357
that have sent us here and that is what

01:27:41.440 --> 01:27:44.477
the UK government is committed to doing.

01:27:44.560 --> 01:27:46.957
We must start with safety. This means

01:27:47.040 --> 01:27:49.197
working harder to ensure frontier AI

01:27:49.280 --> 01:27:52.317
models are rigorously tested and

01:27:52.400 --> 01:27:54.637
building a system of assurance around

01:27:54.720 --> 01:27:56.717
model development to allow us to

01:27:56.800 --> 01:28:01.197
establish trust that models are safe.

01:28:01.280 --> 01:28:03.517
Second, transparency.

01:28:03.600 --> 01:28:08.237
The companies building the models cannot
simply be left to their own devices.

01:28:08.320 --> 01:28:12.877
Governments must have the visibility
to understand and assess what AI companies

01:28:12.960 --> 01:28:14.317
are doing.

01:28:14.400 --> 01:28:16.957
The leading AI companies have actually

01:28:17.040 --> 01:28:19.917
committed to provide this visibility.

01:28:20.000 --> 01:28:24.717
It's really really important and it
is an offer that we and they should follow

01:28:24.800 --> 01:28:26.637
through on.

01:28:26.720 --> 01:28:29.757
Third, resilience. We have to harden our

01:28:29.840 --> 01:28:32.557
defenses to reduce the impact of AI

01:28:32.640 --> 01:28:34.717
enabled incidents.

01:28:34.800 --> 01:28:37.597
Even if we test every model, we must be

01:28:37.680 --> 01:28:41.517
prepared for AI to be misused. That

01:28:41.600 --> 01:28:43.517
includes boosting our cyber defenses,

01:28:43.600 --> 01:28:45.597
protecting critical infrastructure, and

01:28:45.680 --> 01:28:49.597
reinforcing our financial systems.

01:28:49.680 --> 01:28:53.357
And we must support our populations to
manage and adjust to the disruption that

01:28:53.440 --> 01:28:57.997
AI will bring to how we live and work,
as well as to harness its incredible

01:28:58.080 --> 01:29:01.997
benefits. I say today
that the UK will play its

01:29:02.080 --> 01:29:06.717
full part in this process.
We established the first AI security

01:29:06.800 --> 01:29:09.917
institute which shares its leading
expertise, testing capabilities and

01:29:10.000 --> 01:29:14.557
research working handin glove with the
United States and the leading labs on AI

01:29:14.640 --> 01:29:16.717
safety. As our prime minister set out

01:29:16.800 --> 01:29:19.517
yesterday, the UK will put AI at the

01:29:19.600 --> 01:29:23.117
heart of its G20 presidency next year.

01:29:23.200 --> 01:29:27.757
Building on our track record of bringing
the right people together on this issue,

01:29:27.840 --> 01:29:32.237
breaking down silos between government,
industry, researchers, and civil

01:29:32.320 --> 01:29:34.717
society. delivering on the potential of

01:29:34.800 --> 01:29:38.557
AI for good and dealing with the risks

01:29:38.640 --> 01:29:42.077
whether in terms of the future of jobs,
protecting children, cyber security,

01:29:42.160 --> 01:29:45.117
biocurity, national security or

01:29:45.200 --> 01:29:48.077
financial stability

01:29:48.160 --> 01:29:50.877
as we also work to agreeing to working

01:29:50.960 --> 01:29:55.597
towards agreeing a set of a single set
of global principles and standards to

01:29:55.680 --> 01:29:57.437
ensure the transparency and access

01:29:57.520 --> 01:30:00.637
necessary to increase our preparedness

01:30:00.720 --> 01:30:03.917
to ensure that AI development is safe

01:30:04.000 --> 01:30:07.197
and as the previous speaker said to

01:30:07.280 --> 01:30:09.837
seize potential for the global south and

01:30:09.920 --> 01:30:13.517
global north alike. Let me just end on

01:30:13.600 --> 01:30:17.277
this uh point. I think overall this is

01:30:17.360 --> 01:30:19.917
not a choice between progress and

01:30:20.000 --> 01:30:24.557
safety. We are only going to be able
to innovate and capture the extraordinary

01:30:24.640 --> 01:30:28.397
benefits of AI which I'm sure we
all share in this room if people have

01:30:28.480 --> 01:30:33.037
confidence that the right safeguards
are in place. So together we must take

01:30:33.120 --> 01:30:35.197
whatever meas measures are necessary so

01:30:35.280 --> 01:30:39.357
that AI is secure, safe and trustworthy

01:30:39.440 --> 01:30:41.357
while still advancing its incredible

01:30:41.440 --> 01:30:44.397
potential to drive growth, cure disease

01:30:44.480 --> 01:30:47.837
and transform people's life chances. I

01:30:47.920 --> 01:30:50.797
end on this point finally.

01:30:50.880 --> 01:30:53.757
We can't say we haven't been warned.

01:30:53.840 --> 01:30:56.317
We have been warned by the people who

01:30:56.400 --> 01:30:58.637
have founded this incredible technology

01:30:58.720 --> 01:31:02.397
with its huge potential for good.

01:31:02.480 --> 01:31:05.757
We must act on their warnings and we

01:31:05.840 --> 01:31:08.317
must act on their warnings together.

01:31:08.400 --> 01:31:10.477
Thank you. >> Show me.

01:31:10.560 --> 01:31:12.557
>> I thank his excellency Mr.
Milliband for

01:31:12.640 --> 01:31:15.437
his statement. I now give the floor to

01:31:15.520 --> 01:31:20.237
his excellency Mr. Michael Katzio,
assistant to the president and director

01:31:20.320 --> 01:31:22.317
of the White House Office of Science and

01:31:22.400 --> 01:31:26.477
Technology Policy, United States.

01:31:26.560 --> 01:31:28.637
>> My sincerest thanks to the Republic of

01:31:28.720 --> 01:31:31.677
France as president of the Council.

01:31:31.760 --> 01:31:36.557
Distinguished colleagues, I am grateful
for another opportunity to discuss the

01:31:36.640 --> 01:31:38.397
most consequential technological

01:31:38.480 --> 01:31:40.877
development of our time, super

01:31:40.960 --> 01:31:44.957
intelligence, formerly known as AI. Our

01:31:45.040 --> 01:31:47.437
primary responsibility is to ensure that

01:31:47.520 --> 01:31:50.157
continued advances in super intelligence

01:31:50.240 --> 01:31:52.957
benefit our citizens and safeguard their

01:31:53.040 --> 01:31:55.757
liberty and way of life.

01:31:55.840 --> 01:31:59.997
The frontier of intelligence
is advancing rapidly.

01:32:00.080 --> 01:32:02.237
That is not a reason to pause its

01:32:02.320 --> 01:32:05.197
further development or to constrain it

01:32:05.280 --> 01:32:09.437
with new global governance structures.

01:32:09.520 --> 01:32:13.437
As the leader in frontier super
intelligence, the the US has taken

01:32:13.520 --> 01:32:17.917
actions to ensure we are able
to keep the frontier moving safely and

01:32:18.000 --> 01:32:21.917
responsibly. We've engaged
Frontier Labs on testing

01:32:22.000 --> 01:32:25.277
and evaluation of new model capabilities,

01:32:25.360 --> 01:32:27.037
established cyber security clearing

01:32:27.120 --> 01:32:29.437
houses for coordination on vulnerability

01:32:29.520 --> 01:32:34.157
mitigation, and clarified the existing
law enforcement tools available to

01:32:34.240 --> 01:32:38.397
address harmful uses
of super intelligence.

01:32:38.480 --> 01:32:42.477
Internationally, the United States
is committed to diplomacy and dialogue on

01:32:42.560 --> 01:32:45.277
emerging technologies, but international

01:32:45.360 --> 01:32:48.317
dialogue in this forum and in others

01:32:48.400 --> 01:32:53.277
cannot be allowed to drift towards
global governance. As President Trump

01:32:53.360 --> 01:32:57.357
said before the General Assembly
yesterday, the United States totally

01:32:57.440 --> 01:33:02.317
rejects any attempt to construct
a globalist scheme of control of super

01:33:02.400 --> 01:33:06.877
intelligence. Only weeks ago,
G20 innovation ministers

01:33:06.960 --> 01:33:09.277
reached consensus on the Carolina

01:33:09.360 --> 01:33:11.677
principles, agreeing that countries

01:33:11.760 --> 01:33:14.077
should preserve national sovereignty in

01:33:14.160 --> 01:33:16.957
the governance of emerging technologies,

01:33:17.040 --> 01:33:21.277
not abdicate responsibility
to international bodies.

01:33:21.360 --> 01:33:25.277
The American people's representatives
will legislate and regulate on the

01:33:25.360 --> 01:33:27.837
American people's behalf. You should do

01:33:27.920 --> 01:33:30.877
the same for your people.

01:33:30.960 --> 01:33:35.037
Only through an open cooperative
ecosystem built on sovereign

01:33:35.120 --> 01:33:40.077
infrastructure and domestic capacity
can the world realize this technology's

01:33:40.160 --> 01:33:43.677
potential. US international
efforts seek to build

01:33:43.760 --> 01:33:46.877
that capacity by sharing our technology

01:33:46.960 --> 01:33:50.237
and providing the tools for adoption.

01:33:50.320 --> 01:33:54.397
We want you, our allies and partners
to share in the benefits from this

01:33:54.480 --> 01:33:56.717
technological revolution.

01:33:56.800 --> 01:33:58.877
That is the purpose of our exports

01:33:58.960 --> 01:34:01.837
program. The US is the only technology

01:34:01.920 --> 01:34:04.157
superpower willing and able to truly

01:34:04.240 --> 01:34:09.117
empower partner nations in your pursuit
of a sovereign super intelligence

01:34:09.200 --> 01:34:13.277
capability. American
companies will work with you to

01:34:13.360 --> 01:34:17.117
build gold standard secure
infrastructure and help you implement

01:34:17.200 --> 01:34:19.997
the applications and development the

01:34:20.080 --> 01:34:24.317
tools and capacity you
need to serve your people.

01:34:24.400 --> 01:34:26.477
In this era, technology sovereignty is

01:34:26.560 --> 01:34:29.757
realized in technology adoption. If you

01:34:29.840 --> 01:34:34.157
take the risks and benefits of super
intelligence seriously, the most

01:34:34.240 --> 01:34:36.637
important thing you can do is to develop

01:34:36.720 --> 01:34:39.357
your country's ability to understand and

01:34:39.440 --> 01:34:42.877
use it. Deploy it widely. Build

01:34:42.960 --> 01:34:45.357
expertise inside your government.

01:34:45.440 --> 01:34:47.037
Prepare your institutions and

01:34:47.120 --> 01:34:49.357
regulators. Understand what these

01:34:49.440 --> 01:34:52.877
systems can and cannot do. You cannot

01:34:52.960 --> 01:34:57.437
govern a technology you do not understand.
This body and others like it

01:34:57.520 --> 01:34:59.837
should focus on sharing best practices

01:34:59.920 --> 01:35:02.637
to build domestic capacity, not

01:35:02.720 --> 01:35:06.077
establishing a global regulatory scheme.

01:35:06.160 --> 01:35:10.797
It is through a policy of permissionless
innovation, a tireless pursuit of the

01:35:10.880 --> 01:35:14.957
frontier, and an optimism about
the future of technology that the United

01:35:15.040 --> 01:35:17.037
States built the greatest innovation

01:35:17.120 --> 01:35:21.197
ecosystem ever known to man. For 250

01:35:21.280 --> 01:35:23.197
years, the American character has sought

01:35:23.280 --> 01:35:25.837
a virtuous balance between innovation

01:35:25.920 --> 01:35:29.517
and safety, independence and security.

01:35:29.600 --> 01:35:33.437
Super intelligence is the latest
in that long series of challenges and

01:35:33.520 --> 01:35:36.957
opportunities.
In the service of humankind, it can

01:35:37.040 --> 01:35:39.437
become the greatest engine of growth and

01:35:39.520 --> 01:35:42.637
prosperity in history. A prosperous

01:35:42.720 --> 01:35:46.957
future will not be secured by a global
regulator. It will be secured by

01:35:47.040 --> 01:35:49.197
sovereign nations that adopt super

01:35:49.280 --> 01:35:51.837
intelligence, responsible companies that

01:35:51.920 --> 01:35:54.637
build it and free people who refuse to

01:35:54.720 --> 01:35:59.960
be ruled by fear. Thank you.

01:36:00.560 --> 01:36:02.797
>> I thank his excellency Mr. Katius for

01:36:02.880 --> 01:36:05.997
his statement. I now give the floor to

01:36:06.080 --> 01:36:08.557
his excellency Mr. Sheikh Abdullahbin

01:36:08.640 --> 01:36:10.877
Ali al- Khalifa, acting under secretary

01:36:10.960 --> 01:36:16.560
for political affairs in the ministry
for foreign affairs of Bahrain.

01:36:17.280 --> 01:36:20.477
Mr. President, allow me

01:36:20.560 --> 01:36:24.797
at the outset to express sincere thanks
and appreciation to the friendly French

01:36:24.880 --> 01:36:26.877
Republic for convening this important

01:36:26.960 --> 01:36:29.597
session. I also extend my thanks to Mr.

01:36:29.680 --> 01:36:33.437
Benjio, co-chair of the UN Independent

01:36:33.520 --> 01:36:35.277
Scientific Panel on Artificial

01:36:35.360 --> 01:36:37.757
Intelligence,

01:36:37.840 --> 01:36:43.757
Mr. Altman, CEO of Open AI, Mr. Amod CEO

01:36:43.840 --> 01:36:48.717
of Anthropic and Mr. Dong CEO of Hugging

01:36:48.800 --> 01:36:52.557
Face for their valuable briefings.

01:36:52.640 --> 01:36:55.277
Mr. President, discussing the

01:36:55.360 --> 01:36:59.917
implications of artificial intelligence
is no longer a matter of intellectual

01:37:00.000 --> 01:37:02.237
interest. It has become an urgent

01:37:02.320 --> 01:37:05.117
necessity dictated by this council's

01:37:05.200 --> 01:37:07.277
responsibilities for maintaining

01:37:07.360 --> 01:37:09.997
international peace and security. Guided

01:37:10.080 --> 01:37:12.237
by this principle, the Kingdom of

01:37:12.320 --> 01:37:14.957
Bahrain emphasized in the statement

01:37:15.040 --> 01:37:17.037
delivered by his Royal Highness Prince

01:37:17.120 --> 01:37:20.077
Salman bin Hammed al- Khalifa, Crown

01:37:20.160 --> 01:37:22.557
Prince and Prime Minister during the

01:37:22.640 --> 01:37:25.597
79th session of the General Assembly.

01:37:25.680 --> 01:37:30.237
The importance of concluding
an international treaty to govern the

01:37:30.320 --> 01:37:32.317
development of artificial intelligence

01:37:32.400 --> 01:37:34.717
and ensure that it serves as a force for

01:37:34.800 --> 01:37:37.517
innovation rather than destruction.

01:37:37.600 --> 01:37:40.157
Consistent with this approach, Bahrain

01:37:40.240 --> 01:37:42.797
recently had the honor of co-hosting an

01:37:42.880 --> 01:37:44.557
interactive dialogue with France and

01:37:44.640 --> 01:37:47.357
Latvia on harnessing this technology for

01:37:47.440 --> 01:37:50.877
conflict resolution. Mr. President, we

01:37:50.960 --> 01:37:53.197
stress that the rapid evolution of

01:37:53.280 --> 01:37:55.677
artificial intelligence expands the

01:37:55.760 --> 01:37:58.397
scope of security threats, particularly

01:37:58.480 --> 01:38:00.957
when these technologies are exploited by

01:38:01.040 --> 01:38:05.037
terrorists and criminal groups.

01:38:05.120 --> 01:38:07.837
As the autonomy of these systems grows,

01:38:07.920 --> 01:38:10.717
we emphasize the need to maintain human

01:38:10.800 --> 01:38:13.197
oversight and accountability at the core

01:38:13.280 --> 01:38:15.597
of decisions with serious security

01:38:15.680 --> 01:38:18.077
implications and ensure their full

01:38:18.160 --> 01:38:20.397
compliance with international law and

01:38:20.480 --> 01:38:23.597
international humanitarian law.

01:38:23.680 --> 01:38:26.957
Unlike automated algorithms, only humans

01:38:27.040 --> 01:38:29.597
exercise reason, responsibility, and

01:38:29.680 --> 01:38:31.997
conscience and possess the ability to

01:38:32.080 --> 01:38:35.117
discern complex contexts. At the same

01:38:35.200 --> 01:38:38.397
time, we must not overlook the immense

01:38:38.480 --> 01:38:40.717
opportunities to harness artificial

01:38:40.800 --> 01:38:43.117
intelligence to enhance early warning

01:38:43.200 --> 01:38:46.237
systems, monitor indicators of tension,

01:38:46.320 --> 01:38:48.717
support mediation efforts, and improve

01:38:48.800 --> 01:38:51.437
effective peacekeeping operations. We

01:38:51.520 --> 01:38:53.837
also stress the need for bridging the

01:38:53.920 --> 01:38:58.717
digital divide and facilitating
technology transfer to ensure that all

01:38:58.800 --> 01:39:00.317
nations can benefit from these

01:39:00.400 --> 01:39:03.517
capabilities. In conclusion, we stress

01:39:03.600 --> 01:39:05.837
the need for the Security Council to

01:39:05.920 --> 01:39:08.797
hold to hold more regular and systematic

01:39:08.880 --> 01:39:11.597
discussions on artificial intelligence.

01:39:11.680 --> 01:39:16.077
These discussions should complement
broader UN efforts to address frameworks

01:39:16.160 --> 01:39:18.077
for the development and testing of these

01:39:18.160 --> 01:39:21.277
models in line with international law.

01:39:21.360 --> 01:39:23.837
We stand ready to contribute to

01:39:23.920 --> 01:39:27.277
advancing these discussions to build a

01:39:27.360 --> 01:39:31.837
responsible and balanced
international approach. One

01:39:31.920 --> 01:39:33.757
that places humans at the heart of

01:39:33.840 --> 01:39:36.637
decision making and ensures that the

01:39:36.720 --> 01:39:39.917
innovations we create today continue to

01:39:40.000 --> 01:39:43.117
serve the fe the peace we all strive to

01:39:43.200 --> 01:39:46.797
uphold in this council. Thank you, Mr.

01:39:46.880 --> 01:39:49.880
President.

01:39:50.880 --> 01:39:53.997
I thank his excellency al Khalifa for

01:39:54.080 --> 01:39:59.800
his statement and I now give the floor
to the representative of Latvia

01:40:00.000 --> 01:40:02.797
president. >> Thank you Mr. President.

01:40:02.880 --> 01:40:06.477
>> First of all I would like to thank
the French presidency for convening this

01:40:06.560 --> 01:40:09.597
meeting on an important and extremely

01:40:09.680 --> 01:40:13.597
urgent subject for international
security. briefers, Professor Yosha

01:40:13.680 --> 01:40:16.557
Benjer, Sam Alman, Dario Amade and

01:40:16.640 --> 01:40:19.677
Clemon Deong for the enlightening

01:40:19.760 --> 01:40:21.997
assessment and also the proposals for

01:40:22.080 --> 01:40:25.837
safe development of the AI.

01:40:25.920 --> 01:40:29.277
Uh, President, the rapid piece of AI

01:40:29.360 --> 01:40:31.597
development is already having profound

01:40:31.680 --> 01:40:34.717
impact across all domains including

01:40:34.800 --> 01:40:37.677
international peace and security.

01:40:37.760 --> 01:40:39.037
Alongside the extraordinary

01:40:39.120 --> 01:40:42.397
opportunities that AI offers, we also

01:40:42.480 --> 01:40:44.877
see growing risks manifesting both in

01:40:44.960 --> 01:40:48.557
peace time and in conflict settings.

01:40:48.640 --> 01:40:51.997
This is a moment for collective action

01:40:52.080 --> 01:40:54.557
as we hear today and as highlighted in

01:40:54.640 --> 01:40:56.957
the call for control of frontier AI

01:40:57.040 --> 01:41:00.237
models initiated by Norway and Finland

01:41:00.320 --> 01:41:03.677
issued on Monday 2 by sec 22nd world

01:41:03.760 --> 01:41:08.557
leaders including the president of Latvia.

01:41:08.640 --> 01:41:11.277
We believe that the security council has

01:41:11.360 --> 01:41:13.437
a responsibility to ensure that the

01:41:13.520 --> 01:41:15.837
implications of AI for international

01:41:15.920 --> 01:41:18.637
peace and security are fully considered

01:41:18.720 --> 01:41:21.117
without duplicating work undertaken in

01:41:21.200 --> 01:41:23.597
other four of course but today's

01:41:23.680 --> 01:41:25.837
discussion demonstrates the council's

01:41:25.920 --> 01:41:29.197
ability to convene member state science

01:41:29.280 --> 01:41:31.677
and industry leaders to address this

01:41:31.760 --> 01:41:35.437
pressing matter. President,

01:41:35.520 --> 01:41:38.397
two distinct sources of AI related risks

01:41:38.480 --> 01:41:40.077
for peace and security are becoming

01:41:40.160 --> 01:41:44.077
evident. Both demand our attention.

01:41:44.160 --> 01:41:48.957
First are the risks stemming from the
misuse of AI by state and non-state

01:41:49.040 --> 01:41:53.917
actors in includes
application of AI in malign

01:41:54.000 --> 01:41:57.837
cyber activities, information
manipulation and even attempts to

01:41:57.920 --> 01:42:00.397
acquire destructive capabilities such as

01:42:00.480 --> 01:42:04.717
biological weapons. Second, a more novel

01:42:04.800 --> 01:42:07.597
and complex challenge as outlined by the

01:42:07.680 --> 01:42:10.477
briefers and the recent reports stems

01:42:10.560 --> 01:42:13.117
from the technology itself such as

01:42:13.200 --> 01:42:15.197
misalignment and risk of loss of

01:42:15.280 --> 01:42:18.317
control. Such behavior risks are source

01:42:18.400 --> 01:42:21.277
of new forms of vulnerability

01:42:21.360 --> 01:42:23.997
including to critical infrastructure.

01:42:24.080 --> 01:42:26.557
Alarmingly, recent incidents indicate

01:42:26.640 --> 01:42:31.037
that not not only can AI systems
act contrary to human intentions and

01:42:31.120 --> 01:42:36.077
interests, but they are becoming better
at manipulating and deceiving humans as

01:42:36.160 --> 01:42:39.997
they do so.
These challenges are not an isolated

01:42:40.080 --> 01:42:43.037
matter as they add to the already

01:42:43.120 --> 01:42:44.797
complex international peace and security

01:42:44.880 --> 01:42:48.237
landscape. actions by misaligned AI may

01:42:48.320 --> 01:42:51.277
fuel further tensions and miscalculation

01:42:51.360 --> 01:42:53.837
due to the difficulty to track, verify,

01:42:53.920 --> 01:42:56.877
and attribute them. The increasing use

01:42:56.960 --> 01:43:01.597
of AI and autonomous systems
in the military domain poses additional

01:43:01.680 --> 01:43:05.917
dilemmas, particularly where
reliability, control, and escalation

01:43:06.000 --> 01:43:08.317
risks intersect.

01:43:08.400 --> 01:43:11.117
President, responsible action starts at

01:43:11.200 --> 01:43:13.677
the industry level, but also with

01:43:13.760 --> 01:43:18.317
governance, clear guard rails,
and capable institutions.

01:43:18.400 --> 01:43:20.557
A multistakeholder approach is essential

01:43:20.640 --> 01:43:24.237
to manage risks and build trust in AI

01:43:24.320 --> 01:43:29.277
through transparency and accountability
through establishment of adequate safety

01:43:29.360 --> 01:43:33.757
protocols for the development and use
of AI systems through independent

01:43:33.840 --> 01:43:35.597
evaluation

01:43:35.680 --> 01:43:37.277
through connecting the government's

01:43:37.360 --> 01:43:41.117
mandate economic expertise civil society

01:43:41.200 --> 01:43:45.197
and industry innovation and all
these require international

01:43:45.280 --> 01:43:48.637
cooperation coordination norms.
reform setting

01:43:48.720 --> 01:43:50.717
exchange of best practices and capacity

01:43:50.800 --> 01:43:53.597
building is key to bridge the divide and

01:43:53.680 --> 01:43:57.917
foster interoperability.
The convening of the UN global dialogue

01:43:58.000 --> 01:44:00.317
on AI governance and the establishment

01:44:00.400 --> 01:44:02.237
of the independent scientific panel on

01:44:02.320 --> 01:44:05.197
AI are important steps.

01:44:05.280 --> 01:44:09.757
Our further efforts should keep up with
the pace of development of frontier AI

01:44:09.840 --> 01:44:13.277
technologies as highlighted
in the call for control

01:44:13.360 --> 01:44:15.917
of frontier AI models. We need an

01:44:16.000 --> 01:44:18.077
open-minded approach by the UN member

01:44:18.160 --> 01:44:20.957
states to build on current international

01:44:21.040 --> 01:44:23.437
mechanisms and explore developing new

01:44:23.520 --> 01:44:26.557
ones. The overall objective should be to

01:44:26.640 --> 01:44:30.797
ensure that technology serves people,
safeguards fundamental rights and

01:44:30.880 --> 01:44:33.437
freedoms and delivers benefits that do

01:44:33.520 --> 01:44:37.917
not come at the expense
of uncontrollable risks. If there is one

01:44:38.000 --> 01:44:39.437
thing that we should be able to agree

01:44:39.520 --> 01:44:42.157
on, AI must remain under human

01:44:42.240 --> 01:44:45.517
direction, oversight, and control.

01:44:45.600 --> 01:44:49.197
President, uh, considering its role
in maintaining international peace and

01:44:49.280 --> 01:44:53.197
security, this council must remain
actively engaged in assessing the

01:44:53.280 --> 01:44:55.357
implications of AI for global peace and

01:44:55.440 --> 01:45:00.237
security. With this technology become
becoming increasingly relevant to the

01:45:00.320 --> 01:45:02.237
council's work in the area of conflict

01:45:02.320 --> 01:45:05.197
prevention and resolution, proactive

01:45:05.280 --> 01:45:07.757
approach is necessary. and building on

01:45:07.840 --> 01:45:10.477
the recent council's inform informal in

01:45:10.560 --> 01:45:13.437
interactive dialogue on on AI that or

01:45:13.520 --> 01:45:18.237
was organized by Latvia and France and
supported by Bahrain and Greece. We are

01:45:18.320 --> 01:45:22.317
committed to taking further concrete
steps. For instance, establishment of

01:45:22.400 --> 01:45:24.477
council's informal expert group that

01:45:24.560 --> 01:45:26.797
would enable more in-depth council

01:45:26.880 --> 01:45:31.997
analysis on the impact of the impact of AI
related technologies on international

01:45:32.080 --> 01:45:36.957
peace and security and the implementation
of the council's mandate.

01:45:37.040 --> 01:45:38.957
Latia will continue to work with

01:45:39.040 --> 01:45:41.437
interested partners on the council in

01:45:41.520 --> 01:45:45.677
the coming month. I thank you.

01:45:45.760 --> 01:45:49.517
I thank the permanent representative
of Latia for her statement. I now give the

01:45:49.600 --> 01:45:55.320
floor to the permanent
representative of Colombia.

01:45:56.000 --> 01:45:59.640
>> Thank you, Mr. President.

01:46:00.560 --> 01:46:03.560
Colombia

01:46:05.200 --> 01:46:07.357
considers

01:46:07.440 --> 01:46:09.917
that here.

01:46:10.000 --> 01:46:12.957
We are not discussing the the benefits

01:46:13.040 --> 01:46:15.917
of artificial intelligence but um really

01:46:16.000 --> 01:46:18.317
it is the risks that come to the four

01:46:18.400 --> 01:46:22.237
the uncontrollable in of unavoidable

01:46:22.320 --> 01:46:25.757
risks and quite clearly following the

01:46:25.840 --> 01:46:31.437
briefings that we have
heard the risk for humanity.

01:46:31.520 --> 01:46:32.717
Mr. President,

01:46:32.800 --> 01:46:36.397
>> we cannot ignore
bluntly the report that

01:46:36.480 --> 01:46:41.197
we have heard is the first time this
security council and is on the record

01:46:41.280 --> 01:46:43.117
for history

01:46:43.200 --> 01:46:46.317
has heard a case where machines commit

01:46:46.400 --> 01:46:48.317
crimes.

01:46:48.400 --> 01:46:52.557
This is not just a random mistake.

01:46:52.640 --> 01:46:55.197
other person if will be other company

01:46:55.280 --> 01:46:58.557
even state secrets. Please try to convey

01:46:58.640 --> 01:47:03.917
the idea for those that produce
intelligence or artificial intelligence

01:47:04.000 --> 01:47:05.517
that

01:47:05.600 --> 01:47:08.557
the large part of the planet does not

01:47:08.640 --> 01:47:11.357
and as such the critical infrastructure

01:47:11.440 --> 01:47:14.317
including cyber security systems will be

01:47:14.400 --> 01:47:16.077
exposed.

01:47:16.160 --> 01:47:19.117
If you read the cases that were

01:47:19.200 --> 01:47:23.117
explained to us today, we will know that

01:47:23.200 --> 01:47:25.357
it will be a crime even against the

01:47:25.440 --> 01:47:28.477
state if this will take place at a state

01:47:28.560 --> 01:47:32.557
level and it can happen.

01:47:32.640 --> 01:47:35.757
The second element uh for us and perhaps

01:47:35.840 --> 01:47:38.957
the major concern is that we haven't

01:47:39.040 --> 01:47:42.477
framed the issue correctly

01:47:42.560 --> 01:47:47.917
and we must make a refrain of the issue.

01:47:48.000 --> 01:47:50.477
I do not think and Colombia does not

01:47:50.560 --> 01:47:53.597
think that the issue here is to limit

01:47:53.680 --> 01:47:55.917
human innovation

01:47:56.000 --> 01:47:59.197
but machine innovation.

01:47:59.280 --> 01:48:03.960
And I explain my words here. Different

01:48:04.880 --> 01:48:07.837
reports has telling us that we face two

01:48:07.920 --> 01:48:11.277
risks. One is misalignment and the other

01:48:11.360 --> 01:48:14.237
is the loss of control. when it comes to

01:48:14.320 --> 01:48:17.837
misalignment is that the machines are

01:48:17.920 --> 01:48:22.637
separating or are finding ways to cheat

01:48:22.720 --> 01:48:26.477
break the instructions that were given

01:48:26.560 --> 01:48:31.037
by humans that is the agents AI agents

01:48:31.120 --> 01:48:33.517
are able to do this repeatedly

01:48:33.600 --> 01:48:35.357
systematically

01:48:35.440 --> 01:48:39.597
and uh so far even in the cyber security

01:48:39.680 --> 01:48:43.117
case that we analyze they were able to

01:48:43.200 --> 01:48:46.637
reach internet and finds way ways to

01:48:46.720 --> 01:48:48.797
cheat the system. Other times they are

01:48:48.880 --> 01:48:51.997
able to find out passwords and thousands

01:48:52.080 --> 01:48:55.117
of messages even against the company

01:48:55.200 --> 01:48:58.157
that was testing this uh machines in the

01:48:58.240 --> 01:49:03.117
sense box. But the other
one and the one that

01:49:03.200 --> 01:49:04.957
should be very very concerning for this

01:49:05.040 --> 01:49:09.517
council is the loss of control.

01:49:09.600 --> 01:49:12.717
So we would like to go with you with a

01:49:12.800 --> 01:49:15.117
logical narrative.

01:49:15.200 --> 01:49:20.477
We are telling us today that AI has an

01:49:20.560 --> 01:49:22.797
immense capability to storage

01:49:22.880 --> 01:49:26.557
information that is far far away from

01:49:26.640 --> 01:49:29.037
human capability.

01:49:29.120 --> 01:49:32.077
We are knowing now that given the models

01:49:32.160 --> 01:49:35.677
that we are adapting but also the design

01:49:35.760 --> 01:49:39.357
of the algorithm and the paths that we

01:49:39.440 --> 01:49:41.757
open in that design.

01:49:41.840 --> 01:49:46.397
These capabilities also allow to involve

01:49:46.480 --> 01:49:49.837
a different type of reasoning each day

01:49:49.920 --> 01:49:53.437
more complex interdisciplinary.

01:49:53.520 --> 01:49:57.437
In other words, soon there won't be any

01:49:57.520 --> 01:50:01.037
human capable of following the

01:50:01.120 --> 01:50:03.917
operation, the development of what we

01:50:04.000 --> 01:50:05.997
are creating.

01:50:06.080 --> 01:50:08.957
In the first days of the models, we

01:50:09.040 --> 01:50:11.597
notice how the machine were able to pass

01:50:11.680 --> 01:50:14.477
a bar exam in three months, a medical

01:50:14.560 --> 01:50:17.117
license exam in three months. So there

01:50:17.200 --> 01:50:19.517
are no humans that we know that can do

01:50:19.600 --> 01:50:22.397
that. But at this state of the art of

01:50:22.480 --> 01:50:25.597
the technology, we are facing a

01:50:25.680 --> 01:50:28.397
different type of situation

01:50:28.480 --> 01:50:33.597
which is a pass from human mistakes to

01:50:33.680 --> 01:50:37.677
machines random mistakes and we have to

01:50:37.760 --> 01:50:40.877
be aware of the risks that we are facing

01:50:40.960 --> 01:50:43.037
and assuming if that is the path we

01:50:43.120 --> 01:50:45.197
choose to take.

01:50:45.280 --> 01:50:48.797
You see the critical issue here is to

01:50:48.880 --> 01:50:51.917
know as a security council

01:50:52.000 --> 01:50:54.877
what are we regulating,

01:50:54.960 --> 01:50:58.317
why we need to regulate it and why we

01:50:58.400 --> 01:51:01.197
should do it.

01:51:01.280 --> 01:51:04.157
Most importantly, Colombia understands

01:51:04.240 --> 01:51:06.717
the position of the United States and

01:51:06.800 --> 01:51:09.437
shares partially

01:51:09.520 --> 01:51:13.837
its practical approach which is

01:51:13.920 --> 01:51:19.037
an international body oversign
the sovereign production of AI is

01:51:19.120 --> 01:51:23.197
impractical for two basic
reasons. There are of

01:51:23.280 --> 01:51:25.597
course constitutional and national

01:51:25.680 --> 01:51:29.357
security reasons in every country. So

01:51:29.440 --> 01:51:32.717
the legal battle will be overwhelming.

01:51:32.800 --> 01:51:35.677
But secondly, if one country stops, the

01:51:35.760 --> 01:51:38.397
other says I do not. Especially those

01:51:38.480 --> 01:51:43.357
that are leading the race.
For the rest of humanity,

01:51:43.440 --> 01:51:45.357
the concerns and for those that are

01:51:45.440 --> 01:51:48.237
behind but will soon catch up. The

01:51:48.320 --> 01:51:52.477
concern is what we do next.

01:51:52.560 --> 01:51:55.917
And that's where our country can perhaps

01:51:56.000 --> 01:51:59.517
offer a different approach.

01:51:59.600 --> 01:52:02.157
And again, no between an inelectable

01:52:02.240 --> 01:52:05.997
choice between safety and development,

01:52:06.080 --> 01:52:08.237
but perhaps

01:52:08.320 --> 01:52:11.437
a way to make sure

01:52:11.520 --> 01:52:15.597
that all humans on Earth are included.

01:52:15.680 --> 01:52:19.037
Not just by shedding or as we use the

01:52:19.120 --> 01:52:23.037
term adapting our countries because it

01:52:23.120 --> 01:52:26.077
seems to us in the global south that

01:52:26.160 --> 01:52:30.477
when we call about adapting is to buy a

01:52:30.560 --> 01:52:33.677
product that we will not produce

01:52:33.760 --> 01:52:36.637
and once we buy the product we can adapt

01:52:36.720 --> 01:52:38.957
our structures and infrastructures.

01:52:39.040 --> 01:52:42.077
Again, partially true, but many of these

01:52:42.160 --> 01:52:45.757
countries will face an undeniable gap

01:52:45.840 --> 01:52:47.997
that will extend even a century between

01:52:48.080 --> 01:52:51.037
another country and the other if we do

01:52:51.120 --> 01:52:55.197
not participate of the production of AI.

01:52:55.280 --> 01:52:58.077
That's one issue and that's a very very

01:52:58.160 --> 01:53:01.037
important issue for the global south.

01:53:01.120 --> 01:53:04.557
We do not believe that just by adapting

01:53:04.640 --> 01:53:06.397
our infrastructure,

01:53:06.480 --> 01:53:11.037
by making it safer, we will also get rid

01:53:11.120 --> 01:53:13.517
of of the lateral and collateral

01:53:13.600 --> 01:53:17.437
problems. And that's when we come to the

01:53:17.520 --> 01:53:20.557
point today we could lose millions of

01:53:20.640 --> 01:53:24.397
jobs. That is a possibility that is

01:53:24.480 --> 01:53:26.317
being entertained even in developed

01:53:26.400 --> 01:53:29.437
countries. We have seen how AI start

01:53:29.520 --> 01:53:32.077
writing the code

01:53:32.160 --> 01:53:35.757
and that for us is perhaps the only

01:53:35.840 --> 01:53:38.237
place that we should start the

01:53:38.320 --> 01:53:39.837
regulation

01:53:39.920 --> 01:53:43.997
because no one discusses no one would

01:53:44.080 --> 01:53:46.557
say that AI is not beneficial for

01:53:46.640 --> 01:53:49.437
research, health development,

01:53:49.520 --> 01:53:52.077
technology, communications,

01:53:52.160 --> 01:53:55.757
uh cure diseases etc. Well, the benefits

01:53:55.840 --> 01:53:58.637
are wide now and we are not trying to

01:53:58.720 --> 01:54:01.277
stop it. But it seems that we are

01:54:01.360 --> 01:54:04.957
reaching a new step on AI and the US is

01:54:05.040 --> 01:54:07.997
right. This is super intelligence for

01:54:08.080 --> 01:54:11.517
one particular reason only. We are about

01:54:11.600 --> 01:54:15.997
to take the step that a
greater and potentially

01:54:16.080 --> 01:54:18.317
more complex technology

01:54:18.400 --> 01:54:20.957
uh quantum technology will boost

01:54:21.040 --> 01:54:24.157
artificial intelligence in the design in

01:54:24.240 --> 01:54:26.797
the model in the modeling and the

01:54:26.880 --> 01:54:31.277
development. So the risks
that we are facing today I

01:54:31.360 --> 01:54:33.277
want to call the attention of the the

01:54:33.360 --> 01:54:36.477
council are pre-quantum risks. So that

01:54:36.560 --> 01:54:39.117
is before we reach that that state but

01:54:39.200 --> 01:54:41.117
we are very very close to reach that

01:54:41.200 --> 01:54:44.957
state. But the concerning side for us

01:54:45.040 --> 01:54:48.237
and perhaps this is what we will offer

01:54:48.320 --> 01:54:50.317
as a different approach rather than

01:54:50.400 --> 01:54:54.637
thinking of an international oversight.

01:54:54.720 --> 01:54:56.637
The Security Council is concerned

01:54:56.720 --> 01:54:59.517
because this technology has the

01:54:59.600 --> 01:55:03.197
potential to disrupt and create not just

01:55:03.280 --> 01:55:05.517
more inequality across the planet

01:55:05.600 --> 01:55:09.597
including violence but also

01:55:09.680 --> 01:55:12.717
development gaps that will lead us to

01:55:12.800 --> 01:55:16.557
other types of conflicts including

01:55:16.640 --> 01:55:18.637
global migration

01:55:18.720 --> 01:55:22.957
etc. So we propose to you, we submit to

01:55:23.040 --> 01:55:25.677
you uh an important consideration in

01:55:25.760 --> 01:55:27.997
which perhaps we can start just for that

01:55:28.080 --> 01:55:31.517
domain because this is it. This is the

01:55:31.600 --> 01:55:33.997
moment.

01:55:34.080 --> 01:55:37.037
Autonomous design and autonomous

01:55:37.120 --> 01:55:39.517
development. This is what is really

01:55:39.600 --> 01:55:42.557
really at stake here.

01:55:42.640 --> 01:55:46.557
Should we allow that machines,

01:55:46.640 --> 01:55:49.357
AI agents take the next step that are

01:55:49.440 --> 01:55:51.357
showing by the experiments that are

01:55:51.440 --> 01:55:53.997
showing by the cases they present to us

01:55:54.080 --> 01:55:56.397
and that we that had been published

01:55:56.480 --> 01:55:59.037
actually not just today there are many

01:55:59.120 --> 01:56:02.077
article journals these are everywhere

01:56:02.160 --> 01:56:04.637
that tell us how the the machine finds

01:56:04.720 --> 01:56:06.797
another way a different way different

01:56:06.880 --> 01:56:09.837
than humans when we lose control one of

01:56:09.920 --> 01:56:12.957
the major risk of risk management here

01:56:13.040 --> 01:56:17.037
which is once we do no longer understand

01:56:17.120 --> 01:56:21.037
what the machine is doing because if we

01:56:21.120 --> 01:56:24.157
go to super intelligence and we do not

01:56:24.240 --> 01:56:27.437
possess as humans such a capacity we are

01:56:27.520 --> 01:56:29.277
assuming that we are controlling

01:56:29.360 --> 01:56:33.917
something that we cannot uh understand

01:56:34.000 --> 01:56:37.757
and one of the main elements for this

01:56:37.840 --> 01:56:40.237
technology and I listen to the all

01:56:40.320 --> 01:56:42.797
interventions Today

01:56:42.880 --> 01:56:45.277
uh we want to make sure that this remain

01:56:45.360 --> 01:56:49.037
human. Well, you see that's the problem.

01:56:49.120 --> 01:56:52.397
The human brain needs to understand

01:56:52.480 --> 01:56:54.877
the information that has in front of it

01:56:54.960 --> 01:56:58.077
to make a decision. But it seems to us

01:56:58.160 --> 01:57:02.477
that we are soon going to leave that

01:57:02.560 --> 01:57:04.717
stage and we are going to leave that

01:57:04.800 --> 01:57:07.437
stage because the way the technology is

01:57:07.520 --> 01:57:10.317
being developed and this is not just a

01:57:10.400 --> 01:57:12.717
matter of ethical limits. We understand

01:57:12.800 --> 01:57:16.477
that that will be a contradictory for

01:57:16.560 --> 01:57:19.597
many and it will be also a problem in

01:57:19.680 --> 01:57:22.637
terms of legislation and regulations.

01:57:22.720 --> 01:57:25.357
Some might even see that as a rate tape

01:57:25.440 --> 01:57:30.957
etc. No, this is another step because

01:57:31.040 --> 01:57:33.197
if the machine is the one that starts

01:57:33.280 --> 01:57:36.477
leading the design, in other words, the

01:57:36.560 --> 01:57:40.157
methods, the paths, the outcomes,

01:57:40.240 --> 01:57:43.437
if this is not just and soon will not be

01:57:43.520 --> 01:57:45.677
a problem of

01:57:45.760 --> 01:57:50.397
the input and the unreachable goal. In

01:57:50.480 --> 01:57:52.317
other words, it seems now that the

01:57:52.400 --> 01:57:55.117
machine is trying to just get the goal

01:57:55.200 --> 01:57:58.797
done, get things done. And to do that is

01:57:58.880 --> 01:58:02.477
finding paths that humans usually do not

01:58:02.560 --> 01:58:05.997
take one and did not instruct to take

01:58:06.080 --> 01:58:09.757
yet it find a way and it cheats and it

01:58:09.840 --> 01:58:11.997
conceals the outcome

01:58:12.080 --> 01:58:14.957
and that is a concern of course. One is

01:58:15.040 --> 01:58:17.517
that is misalignment. The second one now

01:58:17.600 --> 01:58:20.637
however is that

01:58:20.720 --> 01:58:24.637
soon and Mr. Sam Oldman really really

01:58:24.720 --> 01:58:27.917
pointed out to this risk is that the

01:58:28.000 --> 01:58:30.397
autonomous development of artificial

01:58:30.480 --> 01:58:33.357
intelligence what really means is this

01:58:33.440 --> 01:58:35.917
that machines write the code that

01:58:36.000 --> 01:58:38.397
machines find the paths that machines

01:58:38.480 --> 01:58:41.357
establish solutions and again this is

01:58:41.440 --> 01:58:43.677
pre-quantum era

01:58:43.760 --> 01:58:47.997
so it will be naive at least to say to

01:58:48.080 --> 01:58:50.637
think that we will be able to even

01:58:50.720 --> 01:58:53.757
regulate something that soon we will not

01:58:53.840 --> 01:58:55.277
understand.

01:58:55.360 --> 01:58:58.237
And this is why perhaps this is the

01:58:58.320 --> 01:59:01.437
moment in history that all nations has

01:59:01.520 --> 01:59:04.077
to come together at least with one

01:59:04.160 --> 01:59:08.157
common goal. Let's keep it human.

01:59:08.240 --> 01:59:10.637
So we should agree that we want

01:59:10.720 --> 01:59:13.597
development. We might even agree that we

01:59:13.680 --> 01:59:17.917
don't want oversight.
We should understand the the concerns in

01:59:18.000 --> 01:59:19.837
terms of sovereignity especially of the

01:59:19.920 --> 01:59:22.477
nations that have a greater scientific

01:59:22.560 --> 01:59:25.037
development. It is not their go their

01:59:25.120 --> 01:59:28.397
fault to be fully innovated capacities

01:59:28.480 --> 01:59:30.477
etc. But at least for the rest of

01:59:30.560 --> 01:59:33.277
humanity it should be important that we

01:59:33.360 --> 01:59:37.197
decide how far we go. This is again is

01:59:37.280 --> 01:59:41.357
is not an just an ethical country.
We are not talking even about yet about

01:59:41.440 --> 01:59:44.157
human rights. some things some some

01:59:44.240 --> 01:59:46.477
countries think that we should in terms

01:59:46.560 --> 01:59:48.957
of private etc. No no no no this is the

01:59:49.040 --> 01:59:52.157
next step are we going to allow machines

01:59:52.240 --> 01:59:54.877
to build machines to to design their own

01:59:54.960 --> 01:59:58.237
AI and if we are there already and and

01:59:58.320 --> 02:00:00.957
and that's perhaps the most important

02:00:01.040 --> 02:00:03.517
element is for the countries to decide

02:00:03.600 --> 02:00:08.237
at least that because in practice

02:00:08.320 --> 02:00:12.120
uh Mr. President

02:00:15.200 --> 02:00:17.517
>> for many other countries

02:00:17.600 --> 02:00:20.637
particularly Latin American countries

02:00:20.720 --> 02:00:23.037
in practice

02:00:23.120 --> 02:00:27.997
this means a risk for the national
production of many countries countries

02:00:28.080 --> 02:00:32.157
that that aren't producing artificial
intelligence and those that have been

02:00:32.240 --> 02:00:34.877
invited to buy artificial intelligence

02:00:34.960 --> 02:00:39.037
and invest in it and probably Doing that

02:00:39.120 --> 02:00:43.837
would be the most logical path for them
to modernize the infrastructure of each

02:00:43.920 --> 02:00:45.517
nation and make it as safe and secure as

02:00:45.600 --> 02:00:48.477
possible. But ultimately

02:00:48.560 --> 02:00:51.357
the question remains the same. If we

02:00:51.440 --> 02:00:55.517
have um um regulations even down to the

02:00:55.600 --> 02:00:59.517
production of a tire or a toothbrush, if

02:00:59.600 --> 02:01:03.917
we regulate the production of cars,

02:01:04.000 --> 02:01:07.757
if we um do that with nuclear weapons,

02:01:07.840 --> 02:01:10.797
the question remains the same

02:01:10.880 --> 02:01:14.077
in scientific progress including among

02:01:14.160 --> 02:01:18.157
the most important things the Einstein's

02:01:18.240 --> 02:01:20.717
uh the movement from from uh towards

02:01:20.800 --> 02:01:22.877
Einstein's special theory of relativity.

02:01:22.960 --> 02:01:26.797
We not only verified that time moves
differently in different spaces, but we

02:01:26.880 --> 02:01:29.437
also came to understand the uh

02:01:29.520 --> 02:01:33.837
scientific that scientific precision
is based on perception. And we changed the

02:01:33.920 --> 02:01:35.757
formula from constant velocity that did

02:01:35.840 --> 02:01:40.877
not include gravity to another one
that did include gravity. And we reached a

02:01:40.960 --> 02:01:43.997
scientific understanding perhaps
the most important one of the 20th century

02:01:44.080 --> 02:01:47.357
without which we would
not have GPS for example.

02:01:47.440 --> 02:01:51.677
But there was one characteristic common
to all of those cases, including the

02:01:51.760 --> 02:01:55.597
production of nuclear weapons. And
that is that human beings were always in

02:01:55.680 --> 02:02:00.717
control. Human beings
understood the risks. They

02:02:00.800 --> 02:02:04.397
knew what they were doing and they knew
what they were producing and that's why

02:02:04.480 --> 02:02:06.717
they regulated it.

02:02:06.800 --> 02:02:09.277
The concern

02:02:09.360 --> 02:02:12.717
for countries such as Colombia

02:02:12.800 --> 02:02:16.237
isn't scientific progress. Colombia

02:02:16.320 --> 02:02:18.237
invites investment in artificial

02:02:18.320 --> 02:02:19.997
intelligence

02:02:20.080 --> 02:02:23.757
and wants data centers in its country.

02:02:23.840 --> 02:02:27.677
We are a strategic partner of various

02:02:27.760 --> 02:02:32.077
countries uh including the United
States in particular and naturally we are

02:02:32.160 --> 02:02:36.317
interested in being part of this not
just on the consumption side but also

02:02:36.400 --> 02:02:40.477
the production side of artificial
intelligence and certainly

02:02:40.560 --> 02:02:43.197
um through the provision of rare earths

02:02:43.280 --> 02:02:47.917
as well. But there is something that
goes beyond bilateral commercial or or

02:02:48.000 --> 02:02:52.237
national interests and that
is the interests of humanity

02:02:52.320 --> 02:02:54.477
beyond our own time beyond our own

02:02:54.560 --> 02:02:57.757
generation generation and the time that

02:02:57.840 --> 02:02:59.517
is allotted to each and every one of us.

02:02:59.600 --> 02:03:01.917
We are here now and we need to ask

02:03:02.000 --> 02:03:07.320
ourselves this differentiated question

02:03:07.920 --> 02:03:10.797
right now.

02:03:10.880 --> 02:03:14.557
We are setting this precedent which in

02:03:14.640 --> 02:03:17.517
the view of a country such as Colombia

02:03:17.600 --> 02:03:19.757
seems to be delicate. We regulated

02:03:19.840 --> 02:03:21.917
nuclear weapons. We regulate the

02:03:22.000 --> 02:03:24.957
manufacturing of tires. We even regulate

02:03:25.040 --> 02:03:29.837
the provision of homes. Anything that
could jeopardize the lives of the people

02:03:29.920 --> 02:03:34.637
that use those things is regulated. So
why then would we not regulate something

02:03:34.720 --> 02:03:36.637
which soon we are not even going to

02:03:36.720 --> 02:03:41.597
understand? That makes no sense.

02:03:41.680 --> 02:03:44.877
Super intelligence is not just the

02:03:44.960 --> 02:03:46.477
ability to achieve that through

02:03:46.560 --> 02:03:49.517
scientific transformation, but also the

02:03:49.600 --> 02:03:52.957
ability to have that to know when we are

02:03:53.040 --> 02:03:57.517
no longer on the same level.
Thank you very much, President.

02:03:57.600 --> 02:03:59.837
>> I thank the permanent representative of

02:03:59.920 --> 02:04:02.477
Colombia for the statement. I will now

02:04:02.560 --> 02:04:07.357
give the floor to her excellency, Miss
TZ Wagner, Minister of Foreign Affairs,

02:04:07.440 --> 02:04:11.357
International Cooperation, and Franco
of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

02:04:11.440 --> 02:04:14.397
Thank you very much, Mr. President,
excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, the

02:04:14.480 --> 02:04:17.677
Democratic Republic of the Congo,
thanks Fran, thanks France as well as his

02:04:17.760 --> 02:04:22.077
excellency, Mr. Jean Noel Bahu, Minister
for Europe and Foreign Affairs for

02:04:22.160 --> 02:04:23.357
having convened and shared this

02:04:23.440 --> 02:04:26.077
important meeting. I also thank the

02:04:26.160 --> 02:04:29.437
briefers for their contributions to our

02:04:29.520 --> 02:04:31.597
collective reflection. Our debate takes

02:04:31.680 --> 02:04:34.237
place at a pivotal moment. Artificial

02:04:34.320 --> 02:04:38.637
intelligence is no longer merely
a matter of scientific progress or

02:04:38.720 --> 02:04:42.957
economic competitiveness. Because of the
speed of its developments, the scope of

02:04:43.040 --> 02:04:46.957
its applications, and its growing
integration into critical infrastructure

02:04:47.040 --> 02:04:49.837
and decision-making systems, it now

02:04:49.920 --> 02:04:52.957
raises questions that directly affect

02:04:53.040 --> 02:04:55.757
international peace and security.

02:04:55.840 --> 02:04:59.357
And this reality imposes
a responsibility upon us. the

02:04:59.440 --> 02:05:01.277
responsibility to anticipate risks

02:05:01.360 --> 02:05:06.477
without hindering innovation to preserve
the benefits of technological progress

02:05:06.560 --> 02:05:10.157
while preventing it from becoming
an additional factor of instability,

02:05:10.240 --> 02:05:13.117
vulnerability and conflict. The United

02:05:13.200 --> 02:05:17.197
Nations have begun laying
the foundations for this reflection. the

02:05:17.280 --> 02:05:21.597
work undertaken by the general
assembly on safe secure and trustworth

02:05:21.680 --> 02:05:23.597
trustworthy artificial intelligence the

02:05:23.680 --> 02:05:26.157
establishment of the independent

02:05:26.240 --> 02:05:30.957
international scientific panel on AI and
the global dialogue on AI governance as

02:05:31.040 --> 02:05:34.637
well as the security council's work
on the implications of scientific and

02:05:34.720 --> 02:05:38.717
technological advances for international
peace and security. All of these

02:05:38.800 --> 02:05:43.117
constitute important milestones.
It is now our responsibility to go further

02:05:43.200 --> 02:05:47.757
from anticipation to prevention and from
prevention to international cooperation

02:05:47.840 --> 02:05:51.277
that is commeasured with the
transformations underway. Presidents,

02:05:51.360 --> 02:05:53.997
the risks we face are numerous.

02:05:54.080 --> 02:05:58.157
Increasingly capable and autonomous
systems can create new vulnerabilities

02:05:58.240 --> 02:06:00.557
for critical infrastructure and

02:06:00.640 --> 02:06:03.357
decision-making processes. Their use in

02:06:03.440 --> 02:06:06.077
military and security contexts raises as

02:06:06.160 --> 02:06:09.357
fundamental questions of accountability,

02:06:09.440 --> 02:06:12.957
predictability, and human control. We

02:06:13.040 --> 02:06:16.077
must also remain vigilant regarding the

02:06:16.160 --> 02:06:18.637
unforeseen behavior of certain systems,

02:06:18.720 --> 02:06:21.117
the possibility of circumventing

02:06:21.200 --> 02:06:25.677
security safeguards, and the growing
difficulties states may encounter in

02:06:25.760 --> 02:06:29.757
understanding, assessing,
and regulating technologies

02:06:29.840 --> 02:06:32.077
whose capabilities are evolving at an

02:06:32.160 --> 02:06:35.197
unprecedented pace. These issues take on

02:06:35.280 --> 02:06:39.917
a particularly tangible dimension
in conflict situations. In the Democratic

02:06:40.000 --> 02:06:43.277
Republic of the Congo, as in other
theaters of crisis, surveillance

02:06:43.360 --> 02:06:47.197
technologies and drones already play
a growing role in the operational

02:06:47.280 --> 02:06:51.357
environment.
These technologies can contribute

02:06:51.440 --> 02:06:55.517
to reconnaissance, observation,
and ceasefire monitoring. They can also be

02:06:55.600 --> 02:06:58.077
diverted for military reconnaissance,

02:06:58.160 --> 02:07:00.237
coordination, disinformation, or

02:07:00.320 --> 02:07:03.117
propaganda purposes. This ambivalis

02:07:03.200 --> 02:07:05.197
reminds us of an essential truth. No

02:07:05.280 --> 02:07:07.837
technology is in itself an instrument of

02:07:07.920 --> 02:07:12.717
peace or conflict. It is the framework
within which it is designed, deployed

02:07:12.800 --> 02:07:14.717
and governed that largely determines its

02:07:14.800 --> 02:07:17.437
impact. That is why responsibility must

02:07:17.520 --> 02:07:19.757
remain at the heart of our reflection.

02:07:19.840 --> 02:07:22.637
States have a responsibility to

02:07:22.720 --> 02:07:27.357
establish appropriate legal frameworks,
ensure effective oversight, and prevent

02:07:27.440 --> 02:07:29.117
risks that could affect international

02:07:29.200 --> 02:07:31.517
peace and security.

02:07:31.600 --> 02:07:36.717
Technology companies must also
fully assume their share of

02:07:36.800 --> 02:07:41.277
responsibility, particularly through
risk assessments prior to deployment,

02:07:41.360 --> 02:07:45.357
incident reporting,
traceability, transparency,

02:07:45.440 --> 02:07:49.517
and maintaining
appropriate human oversight.

02:07:49.600 --> 02:07:52.477
The scientific community and civil
society must likewise be able to

02:07:52.560 --> 02:07:55.757
contribute their independent expertise
and participate in the critical

02:07:55.840 --> 02:07:58.797
assessment of risks. But national

02:07:58.880 --> 02:08:03.437
responses, as necessary as they may
be, will not suffice. Technological

02:08:03.520 --> 02:08:07.677
interdependence calls for shared
responsibility. It requires

02:08:07.760 --> 02:08:11.437
closer international cooperation
based in particular on the exchange of

02:08:11.520 --> 02:08:14.477
information concerning serious incidents

02:08:14.560 --> 02:08:18.637
and identified vulnerabilities,
cooperation and evaluation and safety

02:08:18.720 --> 02:08:23.357
testing, as well as the establishment of
communication channels among governness,

02:08:23.440 --> 02:08:27.277
government scientists, and technology
stakeholders. President, for the

02:08:27.360 --> 02:08:28.797
Democratic Republic of the Congo, this

02:08:28.880 --> 02:08:31.517
cooperation must also meet a fundamental

02:08:31.600 --> 02:08:34.317
requirement, that of inclusion.

02:08:34.400 --> 02:08:39.037
Developing countries cannot be
reduced to the role of mere users of

02:08:39.120 --> 02:08:43.997
technologies designed elsewhere,
nor should be the mere recipients of

02:08:44.080 --> 02:08:45.597
standards and norms that they did not

02:08:45.680 --> 02:08:49.117
adequately participate in shaping.

02:08:49.200 --> 02:08:53.437
They must possess the scientific,
technical and institutional capacities

02:08:53.520 --> 02:08:56.317
that enable them to assess the
technologies to which their populations

02:08:56.400 --> 02:09:00.717
and economies are exposed to participate
in their governance and above all to

02:09:00.800 --> 02:09:03.117
contribute to innovation themselves.

02:09:03.200 --> 02:09:05.757
This requirement of inclusion leads us

02:09:05.840 --> 02:09:07.517
to consider artificial intelligence

02:09:07.600 --> 02:09:10.957
across its entire value chain.

02:09:11.040 --> 02:09:14.317
For despite its seemingly immaterial

02:09:14.400 --> 02:09:18.557
nature, the AI revolution rests
upon profoundly material realities,

02:09:18.640 --> 02:09:21.197
infrastructure, energy, industrial

02:09:21.280 --> 02:09:26.397
capabilities, and strategic natural
resources. This dimension is of

02:09:26.480 --> 02:09:30.717
particular importance to the Democratic
Republic of the Congo. During its

02:09:30.800 --> 02:09:32.557
presidency of the security council last

02:09:32.640 --> 02:09:35.357
July, my country invited the council to

02:09:35.440 --> 02:09:38.797
reflect on how responsible, transparent

02:09:38.880 --> 02:09:42.797
and equitable governance of natural
resources can contribute to conflict

02:09:42.880 --> 02:09:44.397
prevention,

02:09:44.480 --> 02:09:46.957
supply chain security

02:09:47.040 --> 02:09:51.677
and the emergence of shared prosperity.

02:09:51.760 --> 02:09:54.557
The AI revolution gives this reflection

02:09:54.640 --> 02:09:56.557
additional relevance. We must ensure

02:09:56.640 --> 02:09:58.717
that technological transformations of

02:09:58.800 --> 02:10:01.597
the 21st century do not reproduce the

02:10:01.680 --> 02:10:04.957
economic imbalances of previous decades.

02:10:05.040 --> 02:10:09.117
Countries supplying
essential resources to the

02:10:09.200 --> 02:10:11.757
global economy while processing

02:10:11.840 --> 02:10:13.837
technology and most of the added value

02:10:13.920 --> 02:10:16.397
remain concentrated elsewhere. The

02:10:16.480 --> 02:10:20.477
security of supply chains cannot be

02:10:20.560 --> 02:10:22.557
separated from the prosperity of the

02:10:22.640 --> 02:10:25.917
populations at their source. That is why

02:10:26.000 --> 02:10:28.637
AI governance must also be approached

02:10:28.720 --> 02:10:31.837
from a logic of shared responsibility.

02:10:31.920 --> 02:10:36.237
Responsibility in the design of systems,
responsibility in their use and

02:10:36.320 --> 02:10:41.357
responsibility within the value chains
that make their development possible and

02:10:41.440 --> 02:10:45.357
also responsibility in the distribution
of the benefits of technological

02:10:45.440 --> 02:10:49.117
progress.
For the Democratic Republic of the

02:10:49.200 --> 02:10:53.917
Congo, the objective
is clear. The resources

02:10:54.000 --> 02:10:57.117
that help make the digital revolution
possible must also contribute to the

02:10:57.200 --> 02:11:00.557
development, economic transformation,
industrialization, and strengthening of

02:11:00.640 --> 02:11:04.877
the technological capabilities of those
countries that produce them. This is not

02:11:04.960 --> 02:11:07.037
merely a matter of development. It is

02:11:07.120 --> 02:11:09.757
also a matter of peace. When value

02:11:09.840 --> 02:11:11.917
chains are opaque and benefits are

02:11:12.000 --> 02:11:17.357
distributed unequally and when producing
communities remain excluded from the

02:11:17.440 --> 02:11:21.357
prosperity generated by their own
resources, economic vulnerabilities can

02:11:21.440 --> 02:11:25.757
fuel tensions and conflict economies.

02:11:25.840 --> 02:11:27.837
Conversely, when resources are governed

02:11:27.920 --> 02:11:30.477
responsibly, when local processing

02:11:30.560 --> 02:11:33.117
creates jobs and opportunities,

02:11:33.200 --> 02:11:36.397
and when populations genuinely share in

02:11:36.480 --> 02:11:40.637
the benefits of growth, supply chains
can not only become more secure and

02:11:40.720 --> 02:11:44.877
resilient, but also chains
of shared prosperity.

02:11:44.960 --> 02:11:46.957
Mr. President, it is precisely here that

02:11:47.040 --> 02:11:50.157
the Security Council can bring added

02:11:50.240 --> 02:11:54.557
value. It is not the council's role
to replace the appropriate bodies

02:11:54.640 --> 02:11:56.397
responsible for developing the full

02:11:56.480 --> 02:11:59.037
range of technical rules relating to AI,

02:11:59.120 --> 02:12:02.077
but it is fully within the council's

02:12:02.160 --> 02:12:06.317
remmit to anticipate the risks that may
affect international peace and security,

02:12:06.400 --> 02:12:08.317
to consider how new technologies

02:12:08.400 --> 02:12:11.677
transform conflict dynamics, to protect

02:12:11.760 --> 02:12:15.757
civilians, to encourage confidence
building measures, and to ensure that

02:12:15.840 --> 02:12:19.757
technological transformations
do not create new vulnerabilities

02:12:19.840 --> 02:12:22.477
that could fuel and stability.

02:12:22.560 --> 02:12:26.797
Our objective must therefore not

02:12:26.880 --> 02:12:30.157
be to choose between innovation
and security any more than it should be to

02:12:30.240 --> 02:12:34.157
choose between natural resources
and development. Our responsibility is to

02:12:34.240 --> 02:12:37.117
govern progress so that it serves

02:12:37.200 --> 02:12:41.197
humanity. As July under
the presidency of the DRC,

02:12:41.280 --> 02:12:44.717
our council reflected on how to transform

02:12:44.800 --> 02:12:48.957
natural resources which are too often
associated with conflict economies into

02:12:49.040 --> 02:12:50.637
instruments of peace, cooperation, and

02:12:50.720 --> 02:12:53.037
shared prosperity.

02:12:53.120 --> 02:12:57.917
Today, the AI revolution in another form

02:12:58.000 --> 02:13:00.797
puts us in front of a similar question.

02:13:00.880 --> 02:13:04.317
How can we ensure that technological
progress reduces divisions rather than

02:13:04.400 --> 02:13:05.997
deepening them? How can we ensure that

02:13:06.080 --> 02:13:08.557
it strengthens states capacities rather

02:13:08.640 --> 02:13:11.677
than creating new dependencies?

02:13:11.760 --> 02:13:15.597
And finally, how can we ensure
that value chains, the value chains

02:13:15.680 --> 02:13:18.877
supporting this revolution contribute
to the peace and prosperity of the

02:13:18.960 --> 02:13:23.357
societies that make them possible
for the Democratic Republic of the Congo?

02:13:23.440 --> 02:13:25.517
The answer must rest on three

02:13:25.600 --> 02:13:27.277
principles: shared responsibility,

02:13:27.360 --> 02:13:31.597
inclusion, and shared prosperity.

02:13:31.680 --> 02:13:35.197
As the capabilities of artificial

02:13:35.280 --> 02:13:39.117
intelligence advance, our collective
capacity to govern them must advance

02:13:39.200 --> 02:13:43.357
alongside them. Because whether
the subject is natural resources or

02:13:43.440 --> 02:13:46.717
artificial intelligence, the fundamental
question remains the same. It is not

02:13:46.800 --> 02:13:51.037
only about what our resources
and technologies enable us to do, but also

02:13:51.120 --> 02:13:53.117
about what we collectively decide to do

02:13:53.200 --> 02:13:55.917
with them and that is where our common

02:13:56.000 --> 02:13:58.237
responsibility begins. Thank you. I

02:13:58.320 --> 02:14:03.357
thank her excellency Miss Kwbo
Wagner for the statement and I

02:14:03.440 --> 02:14:08.680
now give the floor to the permanent
representative of China.

02:14:11.360 --> 02:14:16.720
>> Thank you, President. I thank
France for convening this meeting and
