1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,837
of unprecedented discovery and innovation.

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,397
On the other hand, as AI systems become

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,957
more capable and more autonomous, they

4
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:11,037
could move faster than our institutions,

5
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:13,837
concentrate power in two too few hands,

6
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,877
or make decisions that people
no longer understand or control.

7
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,397
That concern becomes especially
important as we approach systems that

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,237
can improve themselves and future
versions of themselves, often called

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,397
recursive self-improvement.
As the process of building AI becomes

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,797
more automated, the pace of AI progress

11
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,197
could accelerate rapidly. This moment

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:40,397
calls for extreme care.
I largely agree with Professor Benjio.

13
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:43,517
Uh although I'll say two instead of three,
I believe there are two ways that

14
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,757
AI progress could go very badly that we

15
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,877
have to avoid. First, we could lose

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,597
control of the future to AI.
The risk is that it moves so fast that

17
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,357
people can no longer follow what's
happening or intervene when needed. This

18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,877
would obviously be terrible.
The industry must not accept too much

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,157
technological risk just because
the benefits are too great and that they

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:08,077
feel too important to slow down. Beating
companies in the competitive race is not

21
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,277
a reason to make rash decisions. Nor do
we believe we are locked in a race where

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,637
we are unable to do that. We have
unilaterally slowed down in the past. We

23
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,517
will do so in the future. We do not
want to build systems. We think it's

24
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,037
important that everyone avoids building
systems where we cannot make the

25
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,197
alignment, monitor, and safety
guarantees that we must. We need to

26
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,317
understand what these systems are doing
and have strong evidence that they will

27
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,717
do what people intend even as they get
very very smart. Actually, especially as

28
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,197
they get very very smart. It doesn't

29
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:40,157
matter whether people put the risk
of catastrophe at 10% or 1% or 12% or.1%.

30
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,437
None of these levels are remotely
acceptable and we should not train

31
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,877
models that we cannot make an extremely
strong case that will be able to keep

32
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:51,997
under human control. So that's one
way things can go wrong. In the other

33
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,957
direction, these systems could
concentrate too much power in too few

34
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,917
hands. No one person or company or

35
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,837
country should be able to use the most

36
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:05,197
powerful AI models to impose their
worldview on everyone else. A company or

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,397
country that believes only it can be
trusted with this technology can use

38
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,077
that belief to justify almost anything

39
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,637
else. We have to reject that logic even

40
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,437
when it's convenient for any one actor.

41
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,317
I believe there is a pragmatic path
through both of these. At OpenAI, we

42
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,477
approach these questions with a clear
goal. AI should give people more power

43
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,997
over their own lives, more freedom
to live lives the way they want, more

44
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,477
ability to solve problems, big or small,
and to improve their communities. We

45
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,597
don't want to fall into the trap
of blind optimism. We also don't want to

46
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,837
fall into the trap of dumerism either.

47
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:41,677
Getting pulled into either extreme will
not help us successfully figure out the

48
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,597
challenges in front of us. Especially
at a time when the world and its people

49
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,157
face such enormous challenges that this
technology can help solve. So we try to

50
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,677
walk the middle path between these two

51
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,157
poles. For us, that means three

52
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,917
principles. First, as AI becomes more

53
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,997
capable, people must remain at the

54
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,117
center of AI decision-m alignment is not
an abstract research question. It is the

55
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,037
work of ensuring that these systems
reliably remain under human control,

56
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,597
reflect human values, and help people
guide the next stages of development. We

57
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,077
are not trying to and must not
automate human judgment or human values.

58
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,317
Second, the benefits of scientific
progress and economic growth must be by

59
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,077
people and for people. AI should help
researchers make discoveries, doctors

60
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,437
treat patients, teachers teach students,
entrepreneurs start companies,

61
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,357
communities solve problems that felt out
of reach, and much more. The continuous

62
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,837
story of human progress is not that
tools replace human agency. It is that

63
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,877
the right tools make people more capable.
And I believe this is going to

64
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,437
go much further than we believe possible.
Third, this technology must

65
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,517
empower people individually. A great
future will come from people realizing

66
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,117
their potential and building value
for themselves, their communities, their

67
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,637
countries, and the broader world.
We might be the builders, one of the

68
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,317
builders of this technology, but we are
not the heroes of the story. Our role is

69
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,237
to enable people all over the world
and to trust in the magic of humanity's

70
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,717
skill and faculties.
We now have models capable of

71
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,637
discovering knowledge that we have never
had before. Consider the progress we've

72
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,837
seen in math. Three summers ago,
our models were okay at grade school math.

73
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,077
Two summers ago, they were pretty good
at high school math competitions. Last

74
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,357
summer, we reached gold le a gold
level medal in the most prestigious

75
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,757
international math competition. And just
a few weeks ago, this summer, one of our

76
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:34,317
models solved one of the Millennium Prize
problems, the Navia Stokes equations.

77
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,677
These equations are used for aircraft
design, weather forecasting, and the

78
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,357
study of blood flow. We are not solving
math problems for their own sake, but to

79
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,357
empower people to discover new knowledge
and to use it to improve healthcare,

80
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,357
raise standards of living of living,
and expand everyone's potential around the

81
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,877
world. There remains so
much to be discovered,

82
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,917
but it's very important that companies
not substitute for the democratic

83
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,957
process. If AI is to be democratic, the

84
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,117
most important decisions cannot be made
by labs in San Francisco alone. They

85
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,637
must be shaped through democratic
processes and by governments accountable

86
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,957
to the people that they serve.

87
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,877
At the international level,
this will require cooperation.

88
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,157
In our history, there have been times
where countries who compete and don't

89
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,757
always like each other very much still
come together for shared interests and

90
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:23,917
the collective good in the face of a
powerful new technology. We believe this

91
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,397
must be one of those times.
We need a mechanism for complimentary

92
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,477
national and international frontier
AI standards. Standards for measuring

93
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,317
capabilities, assessing risks,
determining whether safeguards are

94
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,397
sufficient, and preserving meaningful
human oversight as systems become more

95
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,597
autonomous. We need common
standards so countries

96
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,837
can compare evidence, verify compliance,
and have a shared language and

97
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,237
understanding about what is happening.

98
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,157
We need accurate and speedy incident
reporting, classification and reporting

99
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:59,277
protocols so the world can learn from
failures before they become catastrophes.

100
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,557
And we need secure channels among
governments, critical infrastructure

101
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:08,157
operators and technical experts to share
emerging vulnerabilities and new threats.

102
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,757
Obviously, these standards should not
lock in incumbents or favor one business

103
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:16,077
model over another. They must support
open and closed model developers, new

104
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,597
entrance and established labs,
national authority, and international

105
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,357
cooperation. Each government should
decide how to incorporate standards into

106
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,197
its own legal system, but we will all be
better off if we can agree on what good

107
00:06:27,280 --> 00:06:32,317
evidence, good safeguards, and good
oversight look like on the global stage.

108
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,157
We do not have all the answers,
and we're very open to any better ideas.

109
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,197
We're ready to work with you all and try
our hardest to figure out the path

110
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:43,037
forward. We are at a crossroads.

111
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,517
One path leads to a world where power
is concentrated, decisions are opaque, and

112
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,397
people feel that the most important
technology of their lifetime is

113
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,717
something being done to them.
The other path leads to a world where AI

114
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,597
works for people because people through
democratic institutions help decide how

115
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,917
it should develop and guide it. Where
scientific progress improves real lives,

116
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,197
where more people can participate
in the future, and where this technology

117
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:10,717
continues to give individuals
and communities greater power to live life

118
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,557
as they choose. This is a future
of realized potential, excitement and

119
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,237
wonder, and it is the future we believe

120
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,237
is worth building. Thank you very much.

121
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,277
>> I thank Mr. Alman for his briefing. I

122
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,720
now give the floor to Mr. Dario Amade.

123
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,157
>> Good afternoon. I'd like to thank
France for convening this meeting and the

124
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:37,197
members of the council for inviting me
to speak. AI is advancing very quickly.

125
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,117
Four years ago, it could barely write
a line of code or solve a high school math

126
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,357
problem. Today, it writes most
of the coded enanthropic and solves world

127
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,677
famous unsolved math problems. The
trajectory only needs to continue for a

128
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,237
tiny period longer, one or two years,

129
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,717
maybe less, to reach what I've called a

130
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,197
country of geniuses in a data center.

131
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,917
This rapid pace of progress will produce
incredible benefit for the world. Just

132
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,397
today, Anthropic announced the claude
discovery of a new molecular machine.

133
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,717
It's a preliminary finding, but it may
constitute a new gene editing mechanism

134
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,957
that could have applications in in gene
therapy. Claude led the literature

135
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,197
review, theorizing, and experimental

136
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:22,317
design, and humans ran and verified the
experiments in the lab. We believe this

137
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,317
type of application will accelerate
rapidly in the years ahead, and that we

138
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,397
can make profound progress in the near
future on diseases that have plagued

139
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,877
humanity for millennia. But these

140
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,197
remarkable capabilities also come with

141
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,997
risks that must be managed. I see two

142
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,397
main categories of risk. The first is

143
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,117
misuse of AI models. For example, misuse

144
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,277
by bioteterrorists to create biological

145
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,677
weapons. The second risk is loss of

146
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,397
control. Model capabilities accelerating

147
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,717
beyond developers ability to control them.
These questions are global in

148
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,037
scope and concern all of humanity. They
are grave enough that I believe they are

149
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,037
important questions for this council,

150
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,077
not just for economic or ICT ministries.

151
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,557
If managed poorly, I even believe that

152
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:11,197
AI could be a risk to humanity as a whole.
At Anthropic, we believe we have

153
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,877
the best track record in the industry
for preventing these risks both

154
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,117
operationally and in our research.
We test every model for dangerous

155
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,197
capabilities in areas like cyber
security and biology. We put strong

156
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,357
safeguards on our most capable models

157
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,917
and we publish our work in these areas.

158
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,717
We have pioneered research in areas
like mechanistic interpretability and

159
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,437
alignment science that improve our ability
to steer and control our models.

160
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,997
We also have unparalleled transparency
practices releasing risk reports that

161
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,237
run to hundreds of pages. But we

162
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,797
understand that as AI models become more

163
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,277
powerful, even more stringent standards

164
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,757
of safety will be required. And we are

165
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,037
always aiming to improve our safety and

166
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:59,757
alignment practices, our abilities,
our ability to prevent misuse. And we are

167
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,997
always striving to do better. We will

168
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,797
slow down as much as necessary in order

169
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,597
to make sure that every successive AI

170
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:10,157
technology that we release is actually

171
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,197
safe. But regardless of what we do,

172
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,117
managing these risks is ultimately

173
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,357
bigger than any one company. And it has

174
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,637
an industrywide and global scale. On

175
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,477
September 12th, I called for a
collaborative effort to pace the

176
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:27,517
frontier, not to stop AI progress, but

177
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,757
to work together to make sure the

178
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,077
industry and the world can proceed at a

179
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,637
rate where we can be sure that safety

180
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,957
keeps up with capability for everyone in

181
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,317
the industry. This call had three parts.

182
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,797
First, we committed to embed external

183
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,957
evaluators inside Enthropic with

184
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,517
employee-like access similar to a food

185
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,077
inspector and and we recommended that

186
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,477
other companies across the world do the

187
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:55,837
same. Some have already agreed uh uh to

188
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,557
adopt this measure. Second, we called

189
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,277
for cooperation across the industry to

190
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,597
set standards and modulate the pace of

191
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:06,397
progress. And finally, we called for

192
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,877
global cooperation across the world

193
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,277
between governments to set international

194
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,317
standards. It is this last area that

195
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,237
most squarely falls within this

196
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,957
council's remmit. I want to offer three

197
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,317
ideas in this regard. First, we should

198
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,557
begin with narrow agreements that every

199
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,277
member can support, such as a ban on

200
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,477
using AI to make biological weapons or

201
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:33,357
permitting your AI technologies to be

202
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,117
used to make biological weapons. Second,

203
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,957
we should build evaluation and

204
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,917
verification systems that keep pace with

205
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,397
AI development so that states can have

206
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,317
visibility into frontier model

207
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,197
capability and can verify each other's

208
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,077
commitments. Third, we should establish

209
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,717
common global standards for testing AI

210
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,677
models for loss of control risks and

211
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,797
misuse risks and a notification system

212
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,757
for AI incidents that are significant to

213
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,557
global security. I believe that this is

214
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,357
the most important global security issue

215
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,917
facing the world today. For all the

216
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,397
differences of the people in this room,
we must put aside those differences in

217
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,477
order to confront this global

218
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:20,957
opportunity and global threat that is

219
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,517
being presented to us at the same time.

220
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,317
No leader, no company, and no nation can

221
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,197
manage this alone. We commit to working
with governments in this room on this

222
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,037
urgent work. Thank you for your

223
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,757
attention.

224
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:42,560
>> I thank Mr. Amade for his briefing.
I now give the floor to Mr. Clement Dong.

225
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,717
Mr. President, member,

226
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,037
thank you for the intention. As a French
national who moved to the US 15 years

227
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,517
ago, Brazil and two American daughters,

228
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,237
I

229
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,757
collaboration on a daily basis

230
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,117
appreciation for the challenging work.

231
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,037
I'm also the co-founder and CEO of

232
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,437
to be one of the most widely used

233
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,117
forforms for developers and agents built

234
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,317
based on opensource models.

235
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:18,877
This July we were the first company to

236
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,317
publicly close an autonomous agent cyber

237
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,877
attack to the world and today I want to

238
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,077
share three critical lessons from it.

239
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,877
First, we can all agree that we need

240
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,077
more trans in AI. I often wonder what

241
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,957
would have h have

242
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,677
decided not to close this attack

243
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:44,077
publicly, especially
now that we know similar

244
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,397
incidents had been happening months

245
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,877
earlier in secret at a handful of

246
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,997
frontier labs without monitoring.

247
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,717
To better understand and mitigate
these emerging cyber security risks, the

248
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,437
global community needs stronger
standards for monitoring and incident

249
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,197
disclosure. For example,
through mandatory sharing

250
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,157
of full agent traces.

251
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,557
We learned this summer that building and

252
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:17,357
keeping some of these systems
behind closed doors is not.

253
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,357
Second, we realized that the biggest

254
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,437
risk is not powerful AI. It's asymmetry

255
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,877
of powerful AI. As symmetry between

256
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,997
attackers and defenders, between a few

257
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,877
companies and everyone else, between a

258
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,757
few countries and the rest of the world,

259
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,357
a symmetry of control, of capabilities,

260
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,597
compute, as symmetry of power.

261
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,477
When we our team initially turned to

262
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,957
frontier close source APIs that blocked

263
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,757
us so we couldn't use them because of

264
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:56,397
safeguards that still can't
always tell the difference

265
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,157
and defenders.

266
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,837
I realized that these safeguardations

267
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,597
but they can put defenders
at a disadvantage.

268
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,997
Attackers can easily jailbreak
them increasing the asymmetry of

269
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,237
capabilities. In our case,
as we got blocked by

270
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:15,757
guardrails,

271
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,557
fortunately, we could use the Nvidia

272
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,357
version of an open-source model coming

273
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,157
from China called GLM 5.2 by ZAI,

274
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,037
and we're very grateful for that. It

275
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,277
reinforced our conviction of the

276
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,917
importance of open-source AI for

277
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,397
defenders.

278
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,157
Cyber attacks and risks may increasingly

279
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,317
come from proprietary models behind

280
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,117
closed doors while much of the defense

281
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,277
may end up being powered by open source

282
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,317
tools because they are less restricted,

283
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,957
more privacy preserving and orders of

284
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:57,757
magnitude more affordable
for organizations across the globe. The

285
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,397
world needs open source AI
more than ever to defend itself.

286
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,477
This applies obviously not only to cyber
security but to AI in general where

287
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,237
there has never been a greater need to

288
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,277
distribute capabilities, resources and

289
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,397
control rather than concentrated in the

290
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,717
hands of a few.

291
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,797
Third, during this cyber attack, we

292
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,317
learned how AI can stoke fear among the

293
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,557
public and

294
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,477
especially through anthropomorphic

295
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,917
framing and sci-fi imagery.

296
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,117
We strongly believe that fearbased

297
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,997
narratives are not the way to make the

298
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,477
right decisions about the future of such

299
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,757
a foundational and empowering technology

300
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,997
or bring the public along with us.

301
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,877
Even though we were the victims of this

302
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,357
cyber attack, we believe more strongly

303
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,157
than ever that AI will be beneficial to

304
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,957
cyber security and make the world safer

305
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,397
just as major technology before it. We

306
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,477
were attacked by AI, but more

307
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,277
importantly, we defended ourselves with

308
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:08,397
AI. The same systems that helped us

309
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,877
during this attack are now helping us
against cyber attacks we were already

310
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,117
facing. is also helping
us fix the bugs and

311
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,597
weaknesses in our systems before any

312
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,797
attack. The same way AI is helping

313
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:28,760
OpenAI fix their sandboxes to prevent a

314
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,837
won't just new cyber security challenges.

315
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,837
It can make cyber security fundamentally

316
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,237
and meaningfully stronger if we keep the

317
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,597
right incentives, equip defenders more

318
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,557
than attackers, and don't increase the

319
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,277
asymmetry between them. And that's
before considering AI's positive impact

320
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:53,117
on science, healthcare, education,
productivity, and much more than the

321
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,237
previous speakers have talked about.

322
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,037
In closing, I want to reiterate what

323
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:03,677
this first agent cyber attack

324
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,197
the need for more transparency in AI,

325
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,117
more open source to fight asymmetry and

326
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,437
power countries big and small. Thank you

327
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,597
again to the UN Security Council and Mr.

328
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,677
Barrow for inviting me to speak today

329
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:27,800
community and myself are at your disposal.
Thank you very much.

330
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,037
>> I thank Mr. Dong for his briefing.
I will now make a statement in my capacity

331
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:34,877
as the minister for Europe and foreign

332
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:41,677
affairs of France. ministers.
Ladies and gentlemen,

333
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:46,397
uh 60 years ago in 2001, a space
odyssey, Stanley Kubri imagined HAL

334
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,477
9000, an artificial intelligence that

335
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,357
stopped obeying its creators

336
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:56,077
and which eliminated members of the crew

337
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,957
of the spaceship where it was located
in order to accomplish its mission. For a

338
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,237
long time, this seemed belonged
to the realm of science fiction. But this

339
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,117
summer, it nearly became a reality when

340
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,757
open AI models circumvented the controls

341
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,917
isolating them from the internet,

342
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,397
coordinated amongst themselves, and

343
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,197
compromised part of hugging faces

344
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,517
infrastructure. In another instance,

345
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,317
anthropic agents collaborated without

346
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,637
being instructed by any human to do so

347
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:31,480
and attempted to deploy malicious
code by creating fake identities.

348
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,597
Yes,

349
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:39,117
the scaling up of AI models have [gasps]

350
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,117
led to the emergence of unanticipated

351
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,157
capacities at an unexpected pace which

352
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,117
pose risks to international security.

353
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,637
That is why France has convened this

354
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,437
meeting of the United Nations Security

355
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,317
POW Security Council and invited the

356
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,637
heads of the main companies concerned.

357
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,997
Technology as I have said has reached
a level of development that now directly

358
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,517
impacts international peace and security.
It therefore falls within the

359
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,397
pure view of this council. Cohorts of

360
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,797
agents are operating without any human

361
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,357
oversight. Others are operating beyond

362
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,077
the framework in which they were tested.

363
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,557
And with these new capabilities comes a

364
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,877
first risk that we might lose control of

365
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,677
the systems that we have created. A risk

366
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,517
that has already been pointed out by the

367
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,837
previous briefers. The second risk
stems from humanity itself. Artificial

368
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,757
intelligence can make complex technical

369
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,957
skills often dual use skills more
accessible in these cyber, biological

370
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,277
and chemical domains as well as in the
field of disinformation. The third risk

371
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:47,837
relates to autonomous weapons capable of

372
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:53,037
using lethal force without
any form of human control.

373
00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:56,717
While the development of artificial
intelligence in the military domain may

374
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,837
offer positive opportunities,
as the president of the republic stated

375
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,437
before the general assembly yesterday,
the challenges regarding compliance with

376
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,277
international humanitarian law,
in particular those raised by the

377
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:11,837
development and use of lethal autonomous

378
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,957
weapons systems, illustrate the need to

379
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,117
agree on a common framework.

380
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,920
All of these challenges

381
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,397
>> require that the
United Nations Security

382
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,877
Council also address the challenges
that AI poses to international peace and

383
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,037
security.
These challenges also lead to the

384
00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:36,797
question now being raised by the

385
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,357
industry itself as well as its main

386
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,397
representatives. How can we prevent the

387
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,557
development of the most advanced models

388
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,357
from outpacing our ability to understand

389
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,957
and manage the risks they create?

390
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,197
France is convinced of the immense
possibilities offered by artificial

391
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,957
intelligence. When used responsibly,

392
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:04,840
artificial intelligence
tools can support education,

393
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,277
access to justice,

394
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:09,997
healthc care, scientific research, and

395
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:15,037
create colossal benefits for all
of humanity. But in order for these

396
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:19,037
possibilities to become a reality,
advances in these capabilities must be

397
00:22:19,120 --> 00:22:21,117
accompanied by equivalent progress in

398
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,557
our ability to understand, assess, and

399
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,477
manage the risks they give rise to. Both

400
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,597
must advance at the same pace.

401
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,997
We must also take the time to assess the

402
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,997
consequences of the spread of artificial

403
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,597
intelligence for human dignity, a

404
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,677
principle

405
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,197
enshrined at the heart of the United

406
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,877
Nations charter. And indeed, the rapid

407
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,877
pace of technological development raises

408
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,797
risks that we can no longer ignore.

409
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,517
financial risk left solely to the whims
of the invisible hand of the market and

410
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,997
the clash of powers with massive
reliance on debt to finance colossal

411
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,677
investments.

412
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,997
The AI bubble could seriously

413
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,357
destabilize the global economy.

414
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,757
There's the social risk as you point
out in the report of the independent

415
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,237
scientific panel on AI. Mr. Benju

416
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,677
artificial intelligence could impact the

417
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:25,117
labor market deeply and exacerbate
inequalities. Finally, there is the

418
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,117
environmental risk. The development
of artificial intelligence consumes

419
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,197
increasing amount of energy and water

420
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,597
resources to the detriment of other

421
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,597
uses. Let us not fool ourselves. Our

422
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,317
fellow citizens are concerned and the

423
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,957
protests already sparked by the

424
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,277
construction of data centers demonstrate

425
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:47,917
this. If we ignore the full range of

426
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,477
repercussions that the development of AI

427
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:55,117
will have on our societies, the anger
of our fellow citizens will continue to

428
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,877
grow

429
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,117
and risk hindering the adoption of

430
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,197
positive uses of these technologies.

431
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,077
Ladies and gentlemen, ultimately
the international community will need to

432
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,597
establish a common framework to manage

433
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,557
the risks associated with frontier AI

434
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,837
models. We support the call issued this

435
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,277
week by Norway and Finland.

436
00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:19,757
We are not starting from scratch. The

437
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,757
many efforts now emerging along with

438
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:26,957
existing forums should enable us
to address four major challenges. The

439
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,797
challenge of independently evaluating
models before they're made available and

440
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,877
throughout their life cycle.
The challenge of ensuring transparency

441
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,277
regarding how models function, but also
how they malfunction, particularly in

442
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:43,837
the event of an incident. The challenge
of internal and external oversight over

443
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,677
models functioning, their alignment
and cyber security requirements from

444
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,157
training through deployment. And

445
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,717
finally, the issue of accountability
and particularly legal liability of AI

446
00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:01,240
companies in the event of an incident,
including during the development phase.

447
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,917
It would be wrong to think that the

448
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,877
solution lies in closed models and

449
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,317
they're controlled by a handful of

450
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,317
businesses. The openness of models is in
fact a key driver of trust and security.

451
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,797
It allows the scientific community to

452
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,757
examine how they work to identify their

453
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,837
vulnerabilities and ensure greater

454
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:28,797
diversity among models which
is the foundation of resilience.

455
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,477
As a permanent member
of the security council

456
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,557
and a state that possesses this

457
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,677
technology, France will play its full
part in building a collective framework

458
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,757
that guarantees our security while
allowing us to benefit from the immense

459
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,997
progress that artificial intelligence

460
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,757
can bring. In 2025,

461
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,557
France hosted a summit for action on AI.

462
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,597
It supports the international network of

463
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,957
AI safety institutes to involve more

464
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,037
countries in defining common evaluation
methods. France has already helped

465
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:06,877
create international forums
for discussions on the subject such as the

466
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,237
global partnership
on artificial intelligence,

467
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,357
the coalition for sustainable AI, and

468
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,757
the coalition for children's rights and

469
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,717
protection in the age of AI, which the

470
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,117
president of the republic convened

471
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,317
yesterday here in New York, a coalition

472
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,797
that will meet again during the Paris

473
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,557
Forum for Peace. Ladies and gentlemen,

474
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,437
by way of conclusion, in 1945, the dawn

475
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:38,957
of the atomic age confronted humanity
with a power whose possibilities and

476
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:43,037
perils it was discovering simultaneously.
Humanity had to devise

477
00:26:43,120 --> 00:26:45,277
rules, institutions, and instruments

478
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:50,077
commenurate with that power
and that is the international atomic

479
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:51,597
energy agency and the

480
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,397
non-prololiferation treaty.

481
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,117
Just as with the atom back then,
the international community must now

482
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,357
regulate AI in order to make the most
of its potential and avert the worst. We

483
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,117
are now facing a moment of this very

484
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,917
nature. The potential for transformation

485
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,557
and disruption posed by AI such that it
cannot be left in the hands of a few

486
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:13,997
private actors in a handful of

487
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,077
countries. It is a democratic challenge

488
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,877
and this is something to be taken up
by peoples and states. So let us work

489
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,157
together within the UN framework
and with the private sector to define the

490
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,477
rules for this new age to strengthen
our safeguards without delay and to

491
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:31,917
establish global governance for

492
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,317
artificial intelligence to benefit our

493
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,757
collective security but also the human

494
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,877
person and human dignity. I now resume

495
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,077
my functions as the president of the

496
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,317
council and I give the floor to his
excellency Mr. Muhammad Ishachagdar,

497
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,397
deputy prime minister and minister
for foreign affairs of Pakistan.

498
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,197
Thank you Mr. President. I thank France

499
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,237
for convening this uh meeting today and

500
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,437
also appreciate the briefers for their

501
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,077
invaluable insights.

502
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,397
Artificial intelligence is increasingly

503
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,317
transforming all areas of life with deep

504
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,557
impact on societies,

505
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,757
economies and security.
The opportunities are immense but so are

506
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,517
the challenges.

507
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,037
AI's impact is sharply evident in the

508
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:25,197
context of international and regional

509
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,997
peace and stability. As a force

510
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,597
multiplier and crosscutting dual use

511
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,637
technology, AI is defining the new

512
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,077
chapter of modern warfare.

513
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,117
The debate has shifted markedly in

514
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,877
recent times. Those at the vanguard of

515
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,117
AI development have themselves
acknowledged that the pace of

516
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,677
development of new AI systems could

517
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,717
outturn our ability to understand and

518
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,837
control them. Some have called for the

519
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,517
frontier to be paced cautiously in order

520
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,517
to mitigate catastrophic risks. Mr.

521
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,077
President, I will now make following

522
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,957
five points. One,

523
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,517
the foremost priority is to retain human

524
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,877
judgment and control in all stages of AI

525
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,117
design, development and integration.

526
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,917
Humans must remain in control to define

527
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,277
structures of AI systems as well as to

528
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,077
limit speed and nature of its future

529
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,917
capabilities.

530
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,597
Two, we must ensure that AI does not

531
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,357
become another facet of the ongoing arms

532
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,957
race. Concerted efforts are required to

533
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,077
erect the necessary guard rails,

534
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,237
regulations, and governance frameworks.

535
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,277
In the military domain, we need measures

536
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,237
of restraint and confidence building to

537
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,837
address the risks of miscalculation and

538
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,397
compressed decision-m.

539
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,757
Three, it should not be monopoly of few

540
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,797
actors. It should rather serve to

541
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,597
address common challenges facing

542
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,637
humanity. International collaboration in

543
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,357
the development of AI is crucial to

544
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,517
ensure that it is representative,

545
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,037
comprehensive,

546
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,877
transparent, and inclusive. Four, AI is

547
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,437
supercharging existing challenges such

548
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,277
as misinformation,

549
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,957
fake news, cyber attacks, including on

550
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,357
critical infrastructure by state and

551
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,957
non-state actors. We must undertake

552
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,837
concrete actions to address the gaps and

553
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,397
challenges that carry huge implications

554
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,677
for peace and security. Five,

555
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,437
unfortunately, rather
than focusing on collective

556
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,197
opportunity

557
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,997
for our shared benefit, some are

558
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,957
resorting to putting barriers to

559
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,677
technology transfer. However, as

560
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,437
witnessed in case of other technologies,

561
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,077
the democratization of AI would be

562
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,637
realized eventually.

563
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,437
Measures pursued in the name of safety

564
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,637
must not become instrument instruments

565
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,477
of denial of technology. Mr. President,

566
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,957
Pakistan takes the call to pace the AI

567
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,757
frontier seriously. We welcome the

568
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,077
recognition that no single company or

569
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,437
country can manage these risks alone and

570
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,397
that competitive pressures are driving a

571
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,077
race that no one can win safely. But

572
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,117
pacing must not become a new form of

573
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,717
gatekeeping.

574
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,277
If the speed of the frontier is set by a

575
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,197
few among a few while others are held

576
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,157
back through restrictions, today's

577
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,917
asymmetries and divide would aggravate

578
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,757
and a safety agenda would turn into a

579
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,957
strategy of technological exclusion.

580
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,837
The risks of uncontrolled AI would be

581
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,277
born by all. decisions on how to manage

582
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,997
them cannot rest with a handful of

583
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,917
companies or capitals. Mr. President,

584
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,397
therefore it is critical to avoid

585
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,357
fragmentation in AI development and

586
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,117
governance, discriminatory agendas and

587
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,677
inequitable forums

588
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,917
with select representation are not

589
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,957
helpful. Importantly, all relevant

590
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,077
issues concerning the development and

591
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,517
and deployment of AI as well as its

592
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,157
broader implication should be taken up

593
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,957
comprehensively in representative and

594
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,597
inclusive forums with universal

595
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:53,197
participation under the UN opaces. We

596
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,397
welcome the convening of the first UN

597
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,637
global dialogue on AI governance this

598
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,237
year late in Geneva. Mr. President

599
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:06,317
Pakistan extends this support
to all collaborative efforts at the

600
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,637
international arena to reap benefits of

601
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,757
AI and address challenges in a

602
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,357
cooperative manner. In this respect, we

603
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,477
were happy to join as founding member of

604
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,957
the China's initiative of establishing

605
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,117
the World Artificial Intelligence

606
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,677
Cooperation Organization as this

607
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,997
represents a concrete step towards

608
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,157
promoting the development of artificial

609
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,357
intelligence for good and for all. Mr.

610
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,317
President, for such a wide ranging and

611
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,197
fast developing technology, confidence

612
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,917
building measures play a vital role in

613
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,477
the maintenance of international and

614
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,197
regional peace and security. Practical

615
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,237
tools designed to reduce mistrust,

616
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,277
prevent accidental escalation and manage

617
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,597
risk related to military and

618
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,877
foundational AI system are necessary for

619
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,437
peace and security. Mr. President

620
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,837
Pakistan reaffirms its commitment to

621
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,397
advance international cooperation in the

622
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,037
area of artificial intelligence. We look

623
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,197
forward to working closely with member

624
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,837
states in efforts to help bridge the

625
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,717
global AI divide and promote equitable

626
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,037
access to advance peace and development

627
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,637
for all. I thank you Mr. President.

628
00:34:22,720 --> 00:34:27,197
>> I thank his excellency Mr. Darf for
the statement. I now give the floor to his

629
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,797
excellency Mr. Lars Loi Rasmusen,
Minister for Foreign Affairs of Denmark.

630
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,557
>> President, at the outset, I want to
express my appreciation to France and to

631
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,477
you, Foreign Minister Bau, for having
convened uh what I think is a very very

632
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,197
timely session on this uh significant

633
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,557
topic. Let me also thank Mr. Benjiro for

634
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,957
briefing us and for your work in the

635
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,997
United Nations Scientific Panel on AI.

636
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,197
And thank you also Mr. Alman, Mr. Amod,

637
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,077
and Mr. Delon in particular as

638
00:34:56,160 --> 00:35:00,717
practitioners and and leaders in this
field for your insightful reflections.

639
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,957
You are at the forefront of the new

640
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,277
frontier and we very much welcome your

641
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,717
participation today. Today artificial

642
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:10,877
intelligence is constantly developing

643
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:15,757
and reaching capabilities we are only
I can only talk for myself but I think

644
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,837
also generally speaking we are only
beginning to understand. There's no

645
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:24,157
doubt that AIdriven technologies
have the opportunity to strengthen and

646
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:26,237
promote international peace and security

647
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,117
and development, especially in light of

648
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:31,997
the recent giant leaps forward in the

649
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,557
capabilities of AI.

650
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,757
The growing emergence of AI technology

651
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:42,717
offers the potential to support
this council's mandate. For instance, to

652
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,237
enhance peace buildingilding
and peacekeeping through information

653
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,717
verification, early warning, and in

654
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,477
support of planning and operating the

655
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,317
missions in areas where the UN is denied

656
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,717
access, satellite technology and AI

657
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,677
software programs have helped the UN

658
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,917
identify patterns of attacks
and destruction of essential civilian

659
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,677
infrastructure.
Such information can play a vital role

660
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,397
in alerting the security council. It can

661
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,277
help us all to take timely action and

662
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,557
prevent crisis from escalating.

663
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,557
At the same time, we must recognize the

664
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,277
risks presented by the development, use

665
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,157
and misuse of new and emerging AI

666
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:27,117
technology, in particular, frontier AI

667
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:29,997
models and lack of human control. This

668
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,797
is the aim behind the call for control

669
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:38,157
of frontier AI models initiated by Finland
and Norway and already supported

670
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:39,757
by a number of countries including

671
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,557
Denmark. We need global com cooperation

672
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,757
on this agenda. Mr. President, the

673
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,677
tension between on the one hand the

674
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,477
important opportunities and on the other

675
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,437
hand the risk defines one of the most

676
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,997
urgent challenges of our time and why
that's why I think this discussion is

677
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,317
very timely. Overcoming

678
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,797
these challenge requires global AI

679
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,037
governance uh strengthened international

680
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,677
cooperation and determined action

681
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,317
without widening the global digital

682
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,677
divide. The UN's global dialogue on AI

683
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,037
governance is an important first step.

684
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:20,557
Governance and regulation of AI are high

685
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,957
on Denmark's agenda, including

686
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,797
regulation of large uh tech companies.

687
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,637
These efforts are not breaks on

688
00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:32,077
innovation and growth. They are I think

689
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,957
essential efforts to ensure that techn

690
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,517
technological progress serves the public

691
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,037
interest and humanity in general. The

692
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,757
unprecedented speed of AI innovation

693
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,957
demonstrates the need for safeguards to

694
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,877
ensure AI systems remain safe, remain

695
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,437
secure and trustworthy.

696
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,517
uncontrolled new technology could lead

697
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,717
to dangerous and harmful effects.

698
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,837
We are already seeing how they pose new

699
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,037
threats including to those who protects

700
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,277
civilians in conflict above all the

701
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,557
medical mission. So Denmark underlines

702
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:15,197
uh the importance of ensuring
the responsible use of AI and that the use

703
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:16,957
of AI is in accordance with

704
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,237
international law. In this regard, we

705
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,237
call on all states to ensure human

706
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,357
control of AI and accountability for the

707
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,877
development and use of AI, not least in

708
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,997
the military domain where accountability

709
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:36,797
is absolutely essential. Mr. President,
Denmark will continue to support the

710
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,957
meaningful engagement of the Security
Council and promote an inclusive

711
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,197
multistakeholder approach to AI

712
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,517
governance. Civil society and the

713
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,637
private sector must play leading roles.

714
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:51,837
Science and evidence must always inform

715
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,357
our policies. We see the independent

716
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,517
international scientific panel as an

717
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,757
important contribution to credible and

718
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,557
evidence-based AI governance. The panel

719
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,597
provides us with a common scientific

720
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,717
reference point. So, Mr. President in in

721
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,157
in in closing, we need to consider how

722
00:39:12,240 --> 00:39:14,957
AI can contribute positively to shape

723
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:16,717
international peace and security and

724
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,917
bridge global digital divides. At the

725
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,197
same time, we must remain cleareyed of

726
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,917
the significant risks and start building

727
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,357
some strong u guard rails so we can

728
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,597
manage the global risk in due time.

729
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,797
Thank you.

730
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,917
I thank his excellency

731
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,237
Mr. Esmson for his statement and I now

732
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,597
give the floor for Carlos

733
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:47,757
Minister of Foreign Affairs for Panama.

734
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,277
>> Thank you, Mr. Minister, Mr. President.

735
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,077
We thank France for convening this

736
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,477
important meeting.

737
00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:00,317
Moreover, we thank Mr. Joshua Benjio,

738
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,677
co-chair of the Independent Scientific
Panel of the United Nations on

739
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,277
Artificial Intelligence, Mr. Sam Alman,

740
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:11,837
CEO of OpenAI, Mr. Dario Amade, CEO of

741
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:16,237
Anthropic, and Mr. Clemon Deong, CEO of

742
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:21,080
HuggingFace for their
valuable presentations.

743
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,037
Although today's meeting invites
us to consider the risks caused and

744
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,077
exacerbated by artificial intelligence,

745
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,717
for Panama, it is necessary to begin

746
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:33,277
this statement by highlighting its

747
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,597
potential to transform the world in

748
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,917
which we live.

749
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,637
The capacity of these technologies to

750
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:43,757
analyze enormous amounts of information,

751
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,437
identify patterns, generate increasingly

752
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,157
sophisticated videos, images, and code,

753
00:40:50,240 --> 00:40:52,717
to automate tasks, and to support

754
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,517
planning and decision-making processes

755
00:40:55,600 --> 00:41:00,077
are all evidence of a transformation
that is already underway, the scope of

756
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,317
which we are barely beginning to

757
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:06,397
understand. These tools have a wide

758
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,397
array of applications that can benefit

759
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,517
humanity. In Panama, our own national

760
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:16,317
artificial intelligence strategy
is identifying opportunities in sectors

761
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:17,997
such as healthcare, agriculture,

762
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,717
education, and logistics where these

763
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,597
technologies can offer solutions which

764
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,997
just a few years ago would have seemed

765
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,077
unimaginable.

766
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,477
And it is specifically in this area of

767
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,357
progress where if applied to other

768
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,517
purposes, we also see the main risks

769
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,677
emerging. Artificial intelligence can

770
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,397
also be used to amplify disinformation

771
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,517
campaigns to allow for cyber attacks

772
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,157
against critical infrastructure and to

773
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:53,037
facilitate access to knowledge for the
development of weapons among other uses

774
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,957
that are already a threat
to international security. And these risks

775
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:58,877
are not hypothetical scenarios. We are

776
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:03,517
beginning to see them come to pass in

777
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:07,357
situations that are directly related
to this council. There are recent reports

778
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:12,477
on the use of artificial intelligence by
non-state actors to develop guidance and

779
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,237
navigation systems for rockets and

780
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,957
missiles. On top of that, there are

781
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,997
reports of autonomous weapons being used

782
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,757
that are able to navigate and select

783
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,717
targets completely independently or with

784
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,917
very limited human intervention.

785
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,637
It is precisely this growing autonomy

786
00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:35,597
which raises one of the most serious
concerns that was noted in the concept

787
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:39,117
note for this meeting. That is the
possibility that the evolution of these

788
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:43,837
systems could exceed our ability
to maintain effective human control of

789
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,677
them. There are decisions
which by their very

790
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,317
nature cannot be reduced to a

791
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,237
statistical result, a statistical

792
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,877
outcome. When human lives are at stake,

793
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:59,677
it is vital that ethical, legal, and
contextual considerations be taken into

794
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,757
account which no calculation or

795
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,837
algorithmic system can replace.

796
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,477
This concern for control is not limited

797
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,237
to extreme scenarios. As we begin to use

798
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,917
analysis produced by artificial
intelligence to steer and guide our

799
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:20,077
decisions, it is essential that those
that are in leadership positions uh be

800
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:24,957
able to understand how these tools have
arrived at a certain recommendation,

801
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:26,637
what information underpins that

802
00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:28,557
recommendation, and what the margin of

803
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,557
error is. Mr. President Recognizing the

804
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,557
risks of artificial intelligence does

805
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:37,837
not mean ignoring the benefits that this

806
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:39,997
technology is already providing our

807
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,277
societies. The challenge is finding a

808
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:47,997
balance that allows us to take advantage
of these opportunities while also

809
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:52,237
responding to the risks with uh
responsibly. In that regard, Panama

810
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:56,157
recognizes the important role
of the International Scientific Panel on

811
00:43:56,240 --> 00:43:58,477
artificial intelligence to provide

812
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:03,277
impartial and scientific information
that can guide the discussions of the

813
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,637
international community
on these technologies.

814
00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:09,757
Equally, we welcome the initiative of

815
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,637
the tech sector actors here present to

816
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:14,877
proactively share information about

817
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,277
specific cases of the misuse of these

818
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,477
technologies and also about incidents in

819
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,797
which their growing autonomy has

820
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,837
generated concerns about the possible

821
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,357
loss of human control of them.

822
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:31,357
President,

823
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,197
>> this meeting is evidence that in order

824
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,717
to address the range of risks related to

825
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:41,757
artificial intelligence, closer
cooperation between states, the tech

826
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,677
sector, and other relevant actors will

827
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,397
be essential. To that end, it is

828
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,797
essential that we establish mechanisms

829
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,757
for a more structured and permanent

830
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,997
exchange of information on emerging

831
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,437
risks, incidents, misuse, and good

832
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:02,077
practices. artificial
intelligence will inevitably

833
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:03,997
continue to evolve and continue to

834
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,117
transform the world in which we live

835
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:11,837
and the testimonies that we've
heard today are evidence of that. Our

836
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:13,997
responsibility is to make sure that this

837
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,637
progress continues to be in the service

838
00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:19,117
of people and that it contributes to the

839
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,357
construction of safer, more peaceful,

840
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:26,157
more prosperous societies with a
perspective of equity that allows all of

841
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:30,317
the nations of the world including the
global south to participate and benefit

842
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,117
from its development.
Thank you very much. Merc

843
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,997
>> I thank his excellency
for his statement

844
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,957
and I now give the floor to

845
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:43,677
his excellency Christo menopolis deputy
minister for digital governance and AI

846
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,717
of Greece. >> Mr.
President, I wish to begin by

847
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:51,677
thanking France along with the briefers
for their remarks and for bringing to

848
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,837
the attention of the security council
the crucial issue of the link between

849
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,757
the rapid technological advances in the

850
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,477
field of AI and international peace and

851
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,117
security. A subject that we will also

852
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,717
tackle during our presidency. AI is

853
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,637
already changing the way we think about

854
00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:11,357
international peace and security. It can

855
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,237
help us prevent conflict, improve early

856
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,037
warning, and make UN operations more

857
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,677
effective. But it also create risks that

858
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,397
we are only beginning to understand. For

859
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,277
Greece, our starting point is clear. AI

860
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:28,157
must remain humanentric, secure, and

861
00:46:28,240 --> 00:46:31,037
trustworthy. It development and use must

862
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,037
respect international law including the

863
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:38,157
UN charter, international humanitarian
law and international human rights law

864
00:46:38,240 --> 00:46:41,837
and human responsibility and
accountability must remain at the center

865
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,557
of our approach. Our national approach

866
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,277
combines innovation with governance.

867
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,277
Greece has established the special

868
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,317
secretariat for AI and data governance,

869
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,957
implemented the national law for the EU

870
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:57,517
AI act and is investing in strategic

871
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,357
infrastructure including the

872
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:03,037
supercomputer and the Faros AI factory.

873
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,317
In April 2025 together with France and

874
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,557
the Republic of Korea, Greece organized

875
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,877
an area formula meeting on harnessing

876
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,917
safe, inclusive and trustworthy AI for

877
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:18,317
the maintenance of international peace
and security. Today's discussion give us

878
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,477
an opportunity to take that conversation

879
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:24,157
further. Allow me to make three points.

880
00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:26,957
First, we need to better understand the

881
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:30,477
risks. AI can process enormous amounts

882
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,957
of information and help us make better

883
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,677
informed decisions. But speed is not

884
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,317
always an advantage. In situations of

885
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,557
crisis, AI can compress the time

886
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,797
available for decisions and encourage

887
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,077
excessive reliance on automated outputs.

888
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,797
As AI increasingly enters decision-m

889
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,957
processes, we must ensure that greater

890
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:53,597
speed does not come at the expense of

891
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,637
sound human judgment. These concerns

892
00:47:56,720 --> 00:47:59,357
become even more serious when AI enters

893
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,237
military decision-m. Technology can

894
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,877
assist human judgment. It cannot replace

895
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,437
it. Responsibility and accountability

896
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,677
for critical decisions must always

897
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,957
remain human. Nowhere in is this more

898
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,157
important than in the nuclear domain. We

899
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:18,237
must be extremely cautious about not

900
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,877
integrating AI into nuclear command and

901
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:26,157
control. The risk of miscalculation
and unintended escalation are simply too

902
00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:29,757
great. Decisions of such consequence must

903
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,397
remain under human control.

904
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,037
Second, we need practical ways to reduce

905
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,157
these risks. This starts with dialogue.

906
00:48:38,240 --> 00:48:42,237
We need greater transparency,
confidence building, and a better common

907
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:46,477
understanding of how international law
applies to the development and use of

908
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:50,877
AI. Important work
is already under way. The

909
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,717
reaim process and the political

910
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,037
declaration responsible military use of

911
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,317
AI and autonomy have helped advance the

912
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:03,357
international discussion on responsible
military uses of AI. The United Nations

913
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:07,357
has an essential role in bringing
these different efforts together.

914
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,677
The Security Council also has a role to

915
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:12,637
play not in regulating technology and

916
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:14,957
not in duplicating the work of other UN

917
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,917
bodies. Our responsibility is to

918
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,157
understand what these technologies mean

919
00:49:20,240 --> 00:49:22,477
for international peace and security and

920
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,277
to act when those implications fall

921
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,957
within our mandate. Third, addressing

922
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,797
risk should not mean holding back

923
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,357
innovation. We should make use of the

924
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,237
opportunities AI provides while putting

925
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,957
appropriate safeguards in place and we

926
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:40,797
cannot have this discussion without

927
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,277
those who develop and use these

928
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,157
technologies. We therefore support close

929
00:49:46,240 --> 00:49:49,117
engagement with academia, civil society

930
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,837
and the private sector alongside states

931
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,557
and the United Nations. Such engagement

932
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,037
should be inclusive, geographically

933
00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:00,397
representative and gender balanced. Mr.

934
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,037
President, AI will increasingly affect

935
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,757
international peace and security. We

936
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,317
cannot stop technological change, nor

937
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:13,037
should we seek to, but we can work
together to ensure that human beings

938
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:14,957
remain responsible for decisions that

939
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,237
matter most. For Greece, this means

940
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:22,317
keeping international law, human
responsibility, and accountability at

941
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:24,557
the center of our approach. It also

942
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,517
means keeping this council focused on

943
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:31,837
its primarily responsibility,
the maintenance of international peace and

944
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,317
security. So Greece will continue to

945
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,157
work with all members of the council

946
00:50:36,240 --> 00:50:40,317
towards this objective. Thank you.

947
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,037
>> I thank his excellency Mr. Demenopulos

948
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,357
for his statement. I now give the floor

949
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,557
to his excellency Mr. Ali Muhammad Omar,

950
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:53,560
state minister for foreign
affairs of Somalia.

951
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:57,997
Mr. President, I thank France for

952
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,037
convening this timely debate. I also

953
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:04,877
thank Mr. Banio, Oldman, Almadeo, and

954
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:08,557
Dingua for their insightful briefing.

955
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,477
Artificial intelligence is no longer

956
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,957
only a technological or a developmental

957
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,557
issue. is our current reality. Rapidly

958
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,197
transforming society,

959
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,837
economies and our approach to peace and

960
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,717
security. It is role in a cyber

961
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,277
operationist disinformation, critical

962
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,677
infrastructure and military decision

963
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,077
making places it firmly within the

964
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,397
United Nations mandate.

965
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,797
We must prevent AI from becoming a

966
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,997
driver of a conflict while actively

967
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:43,277
supporting it responsible use in early

968
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:46,077
warning, crisis prevention, peacekeeping

969
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:51,117
and humanitarian action and civilian
protection. In that vein, four core

970
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:52,637
principles

971
00:51:52,720 --> 00:51:56,557
should guide us. Number one, first a

972
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,637
human responsibility must remain

973
00:51:58,720 --> 00:52:02,077
absolute. AI must operate strictly

974
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:03,997
within the framework of international

975
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:06,957
law, the purposes and the principles of

976
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,197
the UN charter and the respect of her

977
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:11,757
human rights and her human dignity.

978
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,957
States cannot delegate legal, ethical

979
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,877
and moral accountability
to an algorithmist.

980
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,277
We welcome the declaration affirming

981
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,517
that AI must remain under human

982
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:28,237
direction, insight and control.

983
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:30,557
This principle is indispensable in

984
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,837
decision involving the use of force,

985
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:36,877
autonomous weapon system and nuclear

986
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:40,797
command and control. Second, safety must

987
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,077
must come before a deployment.

988
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,957
Recent incidents involving AI agent

989
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,157
reportedly bypassing safeguards.

990
00:52:50,240 --> 00:52:52,877
Concealing their actionist and obtaining

991
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:54,557
unauthorized

992
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,077
access raises a serious question about

993
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:02,957
whether existing controllers can keep
base with the increasing autonomous

994
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,797
systems. Private companies
develop and control

995
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,517
many of these systems. But commercial

996
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:12,237
incentives cannot determine how much

997
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:16,717
risky a human must accept. We therefore

998
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,397
support a mandatory incident reporting,

999
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,997
layered technical safeguards, independent

1000
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,397
audits and measures to mitigate

1001
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,517
algorithmic bias and protect vulnerable

1002
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:31,197
populations.

1003
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,677
When agreed capability threshold are

1004
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,957
crossed, deployment must be suspended

1005
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:41,117
until risks can be reliably managed. The

1006
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,677
Secretary General's proposal to explore

1007
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,717
an international institution capable of

1008
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,317
setting standards enabling verification

1009
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,797
and convening states when such threshold

1010
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,677
are crossed deserves a careful

1011
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:59,277
consideration. Third, governance must

1012
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,717
address Africa's specific vulnerability

1013
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,917
and ensure equitable access. Limited

1014
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,397
computing infrastructure, unreliable

1015
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,357
connectivity, shortages of specialized

1016
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,717
expert and fragmented regulatory

1017
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,157
capacity constrain the the ability of

1018
00:54:18,240 --> 00:54:21,517
many African states to evaluate advanced

1019
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:24,717
systems. models train it on a foreign

1020
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:28,237
data may misrepresent African language

1021
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,997
and context while synthetic synthetic

1022
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:36,317
data can inflame a social tensionist

1023
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,197
interfere in a fragile be processes and

1024
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,517
undermine elections.

1025
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:44,717
Africa cannot remain merely a market for

1026
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:48,157
system systems developed elsewhere, a

1027
00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:50,797
source of a road data or a testing

1028
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:54,397
ground for a technology it did not help

1029
00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:57,917
govern. We must ver we must prevent new

1030
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,197
forms of technological dependency and

1031
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:05,757
digital digital colonaliz colonialism

1032
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:08,157
by supporting a regional framework

1033
00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:10,877
particularly partnership with African

1034
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,597
Union and strategies like the ban

1035
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:16,077
African AI initiative.

1036
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,557
Developing countries require a targeted

1037
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:21,357
international cooperation, financing to

1038
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,157
bridge the digital and infrastructure,

1039
00:55:24,240 --> 00:55:27,437
energy and skills divide alongside

1040
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,077
access to local data sets, evaluation

1041
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,517
tools and computing power. Ensuring

1042
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,997
every nation has the right to develop,

1043
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:41,277
choose and assess AI technology
is essential for a national digital

1044
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:45,037
sovereignty sovereignty
and our shared global

1045
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:48,157
stability. Fourth, the United Nation

1046
00:55:48,240 --> 00:55:51,517
must serve as the main global

1047
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,157
as the main general for global govern AI

1048
00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:58,557
governance. Somali supporters
international normies anchored in the

1049
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:01,117
universal legitimacy of the UN rather

1050
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,677
than fragmented rules established by

1051
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,557
small number of technological advanced

1052
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,117
states and private cooperations that

1053
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,677
risk reinforcing existing global

1054
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:13,757
inequalities.

1055
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:17,037
Global governance must uphold a people

1056
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:20,397
centered approach that directs AI toward

1057
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,357
human well-being and common good.

1058
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,557
developing regional regionist Africa in

1059
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,117
particular must must be granted a

1060
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:32,237
genuine representation and a voice in

1061
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,277
these multilateral processes

1062
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,757
alongside the institution institutional

1063
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,157
and technological capacity to evaluate

1064
00:56:40,240 --> 00:56:43,597
AI systems independently

1065
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:45,997
rather than relying on external

1066
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,317
determination. The measures of our

1067
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,437
success will not be the sophistication

1068
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:54,157
of our declaration but whether we

1069
00:56:54,240 --> 00:56:57,757
prevent the first AI enabled crisis from

1070
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,517
becoming the next international

1071
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:03,277
conflict. The power of AI intelligence

1072
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,877
does not entail inevitable outcome. It

1073
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,757
shaped and and and given meaning by our

1074
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:12,397
values and our choices. The technology

1075
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,037
is advancing quickly. Our collective

1076
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,997
responsibility must advance faster. I

1077
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:20,637
thank you.

1078
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:23,117
>> I thank his excellency Mr. Omar for his

1079
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,157
statement. I now give the floor to his

1080
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:30,877
excellency Mr. Ed Milliband, Minister
of Foreign Affairs uh minister, secretary

1081
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:32,797
of state foreign, commonwealth
and development affairs of the United

1082
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:37,677
Kingdom. uh can I really thank you
for convening this very very important uh

1083
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:41,997
session and I also want to put on record
my thanks to the expert speakers uh who

1084
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,477
have provided such an illuminating uh

1085
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,677
contribution uh to this session.

1086
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:49,437
I think we should stand back and take

1087
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:53,117
stock of what confronts us uh in this

1088
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,997
session of the security council because

1089
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,557
AI is a technology which undoubtedly has

1090
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:00,557
the power to transform our world for the

1091
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,037
better. I'm sure we all see it in our

1092
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,997
daily lives. We see it in all of our

1093
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:08,717
countries. But today, the founders of

1094
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,677
this technology are coming to us with a

1095
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:15,437
stark warning. They are telling us not

1096
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,317
just that they relish the chance of this

1097
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:22,397
technology to do good, but they fear its

1098
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,757
ability to do harm.

1099
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:29,197
They are telling us in stark terms that

1100
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:32,477
it cannot just be left to them to

1101
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,837
prevent disaster from befalling the

1102
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:37,437
world.

1103
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:41,357
I say today we cannot ignore them

1104
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:44,317
because they are right

1105
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:46,317
because we cannot abdicate our

1106
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:49,437
responsibility to our citizens. Because

1107
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:52,077
we cannot outsource to private companies

1108
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:55,517
the first duty of government to protect

1109
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:59,917
our people whatever the issue.

1110
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,837
This security council was founded
to address the great collective challenges

1111
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,877
of our time. So it is for governments,

1112
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:11,517
for governments, as many of the people
who have made contributions today from

1113
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:15,517
the tech world have said, for all
of us around tables such as this to work

1114
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:19,917
together and together with industry
to deliver in the interests of the people

1115
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:22,237
that have sent us here and that is what

1116
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:25,277
the UK government is committed to doing.

1117
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:27,757
We must start with safety. This means

1118
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:29,997
working harder to ensure frontier AI

1119
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,117
models are rigorously tested and

1120
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:35,437
building a system of assurance around

1121
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:37,517
model development to allow us to

1122
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:41,997
establish trust that models are safe.

1123
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,317
Second, transparency.

1124
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:49,037
The companies building the models cannot
simply be left to their own devices.

1125
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:53,677
Governments must have the visibility
to understand and assess what AI companies

1126
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:55,117
are doing.

1127
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,757
The leading AI companies have actually

1128
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,797
committed to provide this visibility.

1129
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:05,597
It's really really important and it
is an offer that we and they should follow

1130
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:07,437
through on.

1131
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:10,557
Third, resilience. We have to harden our

1132
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,357
defenses to reduce the impact of AI

1133
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,597
enabled incidents.

1134
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,397
Even if we test every model, we must be

1135
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:22,397
prepared for AI to be misused. That

1136
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,317
includes boosting our cyber defenses,

1137
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:26,397
protecting critical infrastructure, and

1138
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:30,397
reinforcing our financial systems.

1139
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:34,157
And we must support our populations to
manage and adjust to the disruption that

1140
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:38,797
AI will bring to how we live and work,
as well as to harness its incredible

1141
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:42,797
benefits. I say today
that the UK will play its

1142
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:47,517
full part in this process.
We established the first AI security

1143
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,717
institute which shares its leading
expertise, testing capabilities and

1144
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:55,357
research working handin glove with the
United States and the leading labs on AI

1145
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,517
safety. As our prime minister set out

1146
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,317
yesterday, the UK will put AI at the

1147
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,917
heart of its G20 presidency next year.

1148
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:08,557
Building on our track record of bringing
the right people together on this issue,

1149
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:13,037
breaking down silos between government,
industry, researchers, and civil

1150
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,517
society. delivering on the potential of

1151
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:19,357
AI for good and dealing with the risks

1152
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:22,877
whether in terms of the future of jobs,
protecting children, cyber security,

1153
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,917
biocurity, national security or

1154
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,877
financial stability

1155
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,677
as we also work to agreeing to working

1156
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:36,397
towards agreeing a set of a single set
of global principles and standards to

1157
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,157
ensure the transparency and access

1158
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:41,437
necessary to increase our preparedness

1159
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:44,717
to ensure that AI development is safe

1160
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:47,997
and as the previous speaker said to

1161
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,637
seize potential for the global south and

1162
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:54,317
global north alike. Let me just end on

1163
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:58,077
this uh point. I think overall this is

1164
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,717
not a choice between progress and

1165
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:05,357
safety. We are only going to be able
to innovate and capture the extraordinary

1166
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:09,197
benefits of AI which I'm sure we
all share in this room if people have

1167
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:13,837
confidence that the right safeguards
are in place. So together we must take

1168
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:15,997
whatever meas measures are necessary so

1169
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:20,157
that AI is secure, safe and trustworthy

1170
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:22,157
while still advancing its incredible

1171
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,197
potential to drive growth, cure disease,

1172
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,637
and transform people's life chances. I

1173
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,597
end on this point finally.

1174
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:34,557
We can't say we haven't been warned.

1175
01:02:34,640 --> 01:02:37,117
We have been warned by the people who

1176
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,437
have founded this incredible technology

1177
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:43,197
with its huge potential for good.

1178
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:46,477
We must act on their warnings and we

1179
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:49,117
must act on their warnings together.

1180
01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,277
Thank you.

1181
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:53,357
>> I thank his excellency Mr.
Milliband for

1182
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:56,237
his statement. I now give the floor to

1183
01:02:56,320 --> 01:03:01,037
his excellency Mr. Michael Katzio,
assistant to the president and director

1184
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:03,117
of the White House Office of Science and

1185
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:07,277
Technology Policy, United States.

1186
01:03:07,360 --> 01:03:09,437
>> My sincerest thanks to the Republic of

1187
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:12,557
France as president of the Council.

1188
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:17,357
Distinguished colleagues, I am grateful
for another opportunity to discuss the

1189
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,197
most consequential technological

1190
01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:21,677
development of our time, super

1191
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:25,837
intelligence, formerly known as AI. Our

1192
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,317
primary responsibility is to ensure that

1193
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,037
continued advances in super intelligence

1194
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,757
benefit our citizens and safeguard their

1195
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:37,437
liberty and way of life. The frontier of

1196
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:41,037
intelligence is advancing rapidly. That

1197
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:43,437
is not a reason to pause its further

1198
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,717
development or to constrain it with new

1199
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:50,317
global governance structures.

1200
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:54,317
As the leader in frontier super
intelligence, the the US has taken

1201
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:58,717
actions to ensure we are able
to keep the frontier moving safely and

1202
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:02,717
responsibly. We've engaged
Frontier Labs on testing

1203
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:06,077
and evaluation of new model capabilities,

1204
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:07,917
established cyber security clearing

1205
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,237
houses for coordination on vulnerability

1206
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:14,957
mitigation, and clarified the existing
law enforcement tools available to

1207
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:19,197
address harmful uses
of super intelligence.

1208
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:23,277
Internationally, the United States
is committed to diplomacy and dialogue on

1209
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:26,077
emerging technologies, but international

1210
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:29,117
dialogue in this forum and in others

1211
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:34,077
cannot be allowed to drift towards
global governance. As President Trump

1212
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:38,157
said before the General Assembly
yesterday, the United States totally

1213
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:43,117
rejects any attempt to construct
a globalist scheme of control of super

1214
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:47,677
intelligence. Only weeks ago,
G20 innovation ministers

1215
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:50,077
reached consensus on the Carolina

1216
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,477
principles, agreeing that countries

1217
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:54,877
should preserve national sovereignty in

1218
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,677
the governance of emerging technologies,

1219
01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:02,077
not abdicate responsibility
to international bodies.

1220
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:06,077
The American people's representatives
will legislate and regulate on the

1221
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,637
American people's behalf. You should do

1222
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,677
the same for your people.

1223
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:15,837
Only through an open cooperative
ecosystem built on sovereign

1224
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:20,797
infrastructure and domestic capacity
can the world realize this technology's

1225
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:24,477
potential. US international
efforts seek to build

1226
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:27,677
that capacity by sharing our technology

1227
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:31,037
and providing the tools for adoption.

1228
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:35,197
We want you, our allies and partners
to share in the benefits from this

1229
01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:37,517
technological revolution.

1230
01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:39,677
That is the purpose of our exports

1231
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,557
program. The US is the only technology

1232
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:44,957
superpower willing and able to truly

1233
01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:49,917
empower partner nations in your pursuit
of a sovereign super intelligence

1234
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:54,077
capability. American
companies will work with you to

1235
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:57,917
build gold standard secure
infrastructure and help you implement

1236
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,797
the applications and development the

1237
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:05,117
tools and capacity you
need to serve your people.

1238
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,277
In this era, technology sovereignty is

1239
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:10,557
realized in technology adoption. If you

1240
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:14,957
take the risks and benefits of super
intelligence seriously, the most

1241
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:17,437
important thing you can do is to develop

1242
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:20,157
your country's ability to understand and

1243
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:23,677
use it. Deploy it widely. Build

1244
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,157
expertise inside your government.

1245
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:27,837
Prepare your institutions and

1246
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,157
regulators. Understand what these

1247
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:33,677
systems can and cannot do. You cannot

1248
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:38,237
govern a technology you do not understand.
This body and others like it

1249
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,637
should focus on sharing best practices

1250
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,437
to build domestic capacity, not

1251
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:46,877
establishing a global regulatory scheme.

1252
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:51,597
It is through a policy of permissionless
innovation, a tireless pursuit of the

1253
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:55,837
frontier, and an optimism about
the future of technology that the United

1254
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:57,837
States built the greatest innovation

1255
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:01,997
ecosystem ever known to man. For 250

1256
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:04,077
years, the American character has sought

1257
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:06,717
a virtuous balance between innovation

1258
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:10,397
and safety, independence and security.

1259
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:14,317
Super intelligence is the latest
in that long series of challenges and

1260
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,557
opportunities. In the service of

1261
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:18,717
humankind, it can become the greatest

1262
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:21,357
engine of growth and prosperity in

1263
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:24,397
history. A prosperous future will not be

1264
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:27,037
secured by a global regulator. It will

1265
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:29,197
be secured by sovereign nations that

1266
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:31,837
adopt super intelligence, responsible

1267
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,477
companies that build it and free people

1268
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:40,760
who refuse to be ruled by fear. Thank you.

1269
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:43,597
>> I thank his excellency Mr. Katius for

1270
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:46,797
his statement. I now give the floor to

1271
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:49,357
his excellency Mr. Sheikh Abdullahbin

1272
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:51,677
Ali al- Khalifa, acting under secretary

1273
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:57,360
for political affairs in the ministry
foreign affairs of Bahrain.

1274
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,277
Mr. President, allow me

1275
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:05,597
at the outset to express sincere thanks
and appreciation to the friendly French

1276
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:07,677
Republic for convening this important

1277
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:10,477
session. I also extend my thanks to Mr.

1278
01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:14,237
Benjio, co-chair of the UN Independent

1279
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:16,077
Scientific Panel on Artificial

1280
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,557
Intelligence,

1281
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:22,957
Mr. Altman, CEO of Open AI, Mr. Mr.

1282
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:28,317
Amode, CEO of Anthropic and Mr. Dong,

1283
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:31,437
CEO of Hugging Face, for their valuable

1284
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:36,077
briefings. Mr. President, discussing the

1285
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:38,397
implications of artificial intelligence

1286
01:08:38,480 --> 01:08:40,717
is no longer a matter of intellectual

1287
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,117
interest. It has become an urgent

1288
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,917
necessity dictated by this council's

1289
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,077
responsibilities for maintaining

1290
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,797
international peace and security. Guided

1291
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:53,117
by this principle, the kingdom of

1292
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,757
Bahrain emphasized in the statement

1293
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:57,837
delivered by his royal highness, Prince

1294
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,877
Salman bin Hammad al- Khalifa, Crown

1295
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,357
Prince and Prime Minister during the

1296
01:09:03,440 --> 01:09:06,397
79th session of the General Assembly.

1297
01:09:06,480 --> 01:09:11,037
The importance of concluding
an international treaty to govern the

1298
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:13,117
development of artificial intelligence

1299
01:09:13,200 --> 01:09:15,517
and ensure that it serves as a force for

1300
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:18,317
innovation rather than destruction.

1301
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:20,957
Consistent with this approach, Bahrain

1302
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:23,597
recently had the honor of co-hosting an

1303
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:25,357
interactive dialogue with France and

1304
01:09:25,440 --> 01:09:28,157
Latvia on harnessing this technology for

1305
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:31,677
conflict resolution. Mr. President, we

1306
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:33,997
stress that the rapid evolution of

1307
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:36,477
artificial intelligence expands the

1308
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,197
scope of security threats, particularly

1309
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:41,757
when these technologies are exploited by

1310
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:45,837
terrorists and criminal groups.

1311
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:48,637
As the autonomy of these systems grows,

1312
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:51,517
we emphasize the need to maintain human

1313
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:53,997
oversight and accountability at the core

1314
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:56,397
of decisions with serious security

1315
01:09:56,480 --> 01:09:58,877
implications and ensure their full

1316
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:01,197
compliance with international law and

1317
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,397
international humanitarian law.

1318
01:10:04,480 --> 01:10:07,757
Unlike automated algorithms, only humans

1319
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:10,397
exercise reason, responsibility, and

1320
01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:12,797
conscience and possess the ability to

1321
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:15,917
discern complex contexts. At the same

1322
01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:19,197
time, we must not overlook the immense

1323
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:21,517
opportunities to harness artificial

1324
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:23,917
intelligence to enhance early warning

1325
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,957
systems, monitor indicators of tension,

1326
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,517
support mediation efforts, and improve

1327
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,237
effective peacekeeping operations. We

1328
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,637
also stress the need for bridging the

1329
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:39,517
digital divide and facilitating
technology transfer to ensure that all

1330
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:41,117
nations can benefit from these

1331
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:44,317
capabilities. In conclusion, we stress

1332
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:46,637
the need for the Security Council to

1333
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,597
hold to hold more regular and systematic

1334
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,397
discussions on artificial intelligence.

1335
01:10:52,480 --> 01:10:56,957
These discussions should complement
broader UN efforts to address frameworks

1336
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:58,877
for the development and testing of these

1337
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:02,077
models in line with international law.

1338
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,637
We stand ready to contribute to

1339
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:08,077
advancing these discussions to build a

1340
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:12,637
responsible and balanced
international approach. One

1341
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:14,637
that places humans at the heart of

1342
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,437
decision making and ensures that the

1343
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:20,717
innovations we create today continue to

1344
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,917
serve the fe the peace we all strive to

1345
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:27,597
uphold in this council. Thank you, Mr.

1346
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,680
President.

1347
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:34,877
I thank his excellency al Khalifa for

1348
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:40,600
his statement and I now give the floor
to the representative of Latvia

1349
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:43,597
president. >> Thank you Mr. President.

1350
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:47,277
>> First of all I would like to thank
the French presidency for convening this

1351
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:50,397
meeting on an important and extremely

1352
01:11:50,480 --> 01:11:52,237
urgent [music] subject for international

1353
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,397
security. briefers professor Yosha

1354
01:11:54,480 --> 01:11:57,837
Benjer Sam Alman Dario Amade and Clemon

1355
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:01,117
Deong for the enlightening assessment

1356
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:03,117
and also the proposals for safe

1357
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:06,797
development of the AI.

1358
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:10,077
uh president, the rapid pace of AI

1359
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:12,397
development is already having profound

1360
01:12:12,480 --> 01:12:15,517
impact across all domains, including

1361
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,477
international peace and security.

1362
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:19,837
Alongside the extraordinary

1363
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:23,197
opportunities that AI offers, we also

1364
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,677
see growing risks manifesting both in

1365
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:29,357
peace time and in conflict settings.

1366
01:12:29,440 --> 01:12:32,797
This is a moment for collective action

1367
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:35,357
as we hear today and as highlighted in

1368
01:12:35,440 --> 01:12:37,757
the call for control of frontier AI

1369
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:41,037
models initiated by Norway and Finland

1370
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:44,557
issued on Monday 2 by sec 22nd world

1371
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:46,397
leaders including the president of

1372
01:12:46,480 --> 01:12:49,357
Latvia.

1373
01:12:49,440 --> 01:12:52,077
We believe that the security council has

1374
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:54,237
a responsibility to ensure that the

1375
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:56,637
implications of AI for international

1376
01:12:56,720 --> 01:12:59,517
peace and security are fully considered

1377
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:01,997
without duplicating work undertaken in

1378
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,477
other four of course but today's

1379
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:06,637
discussion demonstrates the council's

1380
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:09,997
ability to convene member state science

1381
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:12,477
and industry leaders to address this

1382
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:16,237
pressing matter. President,

1383
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:20,797
two distinct sources of AI related
risks for peace and security are becoming

1384
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:22,317
evident.

1385
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:25,517
Both demand our attention. First are the

1386
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:28,317
risks stemming from the misuse of AI by

1387
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:31,197
state and non-state actors

1388
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:34,637
in includes application of AI in malign

1389
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:38,557
cyber activities, information
manipulation and even attempts to

1390
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:41,117
acquire destructive capabilities such as

1391
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:43,277
biological weapons.

1392
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:46,317
Second, a more novel and complex

1393
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:48,877
challenge as outlined by the briefers

1394
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:51,677
and the recent reports stems from the

1395
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:54,797
technology itself such as misalignment

1396
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:57,597
and risk of loss of control. Such

1397
01:13:57,680 --> 01:13:59,917
behavior risks are source of new forms

1398
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,077
of vulnerability

1399
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:04,797
including to critical infrastructure.

1400
01:14:04,880 --> 01:14:07,357
Alarmingly, recent incidents indicate

1401
01:14:07,440 --> 01:14:11,837
that not not only can AI systems
act contrary to human intentions and

1402
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:16,877
interests, but they are becoming better
at manipulating and deceiving humans as

1403
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:20,797
they do so.
These challenges are not an isolated

1404
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:23,837
matter as they add to the already

1405
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:25,597
complex international peace and security

1406
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:29,037
landscape. actions by misaligned AI may

1407
01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:32,077
fuel further tensions and miscalculation

1408
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:34,637
due to the difficulty to track, verify,

1409
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:37,677
and attribute them. The increasing use

1410
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:42,397
of AI and autonomous systems
in the military domain poses additional

1411
01:14:42,480 --> 01:14:46,797
dilemmas, particularly where
reliability, control, and escalation

1412
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:49,117
risks intersect.

1413
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:51,837
President, responsible action starts at

1414
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:54,477
the industry level, but also with

1415
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:59,117
governance, clear guard rails,
and capable institutions.

1416
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:01,357
A multistakeholder approach is essential

1417
01:15:01,440 --> 01:15:05,037
to manage risks and build trust in AI

1418
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:10,157
through transparency and accountability
through establishment of adequate safety

1419
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:14,637
protocols for the development and use
of AI systems through independent

1420
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:16,397
evaluation

1421
01:15:16,480 --> 01:15:18,077
through connecting the government's

1422
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:21,917
mandate academic expertise civil society

1423
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:25,997
and industry innovation and all
these require international

1424
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:29,997
cooperation coordination norms.
setting exchange of

1425
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:34,877
best practices and capacity building
is key to bridge the divide and foster

1426
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:38,797
interoperability.
The convening of the UN global dialogue

1427
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:41,117
on AI governance and the establishment

1428
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:43,117
of the independent scientific panel on

1429
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:46,077
AI are important steps.

1430
01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:50,557
Our further efforts should keep up with
the pace of development of frontier AI

1431
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:54,077
technologies as highlighted
in the call for control

1432
01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,717
of frontier AI models. We need an

1433
01:15:56,800 --> 01:15:58,957
open-minded approach by the UN member

1434
01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:01,757
states to build on current international

1435
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:04,317
mechanisms and explore developing new

1436
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:07,357
ones. The overall objective should be to

1437
01:16:07,440 --> 01:16:11,597
ensure that technology serves people,
safeguards fundamental rights and

1438
01:16:11,680 --> 01:16:14,237
freedoms and delivers benefits that do

1439
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:18,717
not come at the expense
of uncontrollable risks. If there is one

1440
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:20,317
thing that we should be able to agree

1441
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:22,957
on, AI must remain under human

1442
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:26,317
direction, oversight, and control.

1443
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:29,997
President, uh, considering its role
in maintaining international peace and

1444
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:33,997
security, this council must remain
actively engaged in assessing the

1445
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:36,157
implications of AI for global peace and

1446
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:41,037
security. With this technology become
becoming increasingly relevant to the

1447
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:43,117
council's work in the area of conflict

1448
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,997
prevention and resolution, proactive

1449
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:48,557
approach is necessary. and building on

1450
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:51,277
the recent council's inform informal in

1451
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,237
interactive dialogue on on AI that or

1452
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:59,037
was organized by Latia and France and
supported by Bahrain and Greece. We are

1453
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:03,117
committed to taking further concrete
steps. For instance, establishment of

1454
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:05,277
council's informal expert group that

1455
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:07,677
would enable more in-depth council

1456
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:12,797
analysis on the imp of the impact of AI
related technologies on international

1457
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:16,477
peace and security and the
implementation of the council's

1458
01:17:16,560 --> 01:17:19,437
mandates. Latia will continue to work

1459
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:21,997
with interested partners on the council

1460
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:26,557
in the coming month. I thank you.

1461
01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:30,317
I thank the permanent representative of
Latvia for her statement. I now give the

1462
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:36,120
floor to the permanent
representative of Colombia.

1463
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:40,520
>> Thank you, Mr. President.

1464
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:44,280
Colombia

1465
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,077
considers

1466
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:50,717
that here.

1467
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:53,757
We are not discussing the the benefits

1468
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:56,717
of artificial intelligence but um really

1469
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:59,117
it is the risks that come to the four

1470
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:03,037
the uncontrollable in of unavoidable

1471
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:06,557
risks and quite clearly following the

1472
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:13,160
briefings that we have
heard the risk for humanity

1473
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:17,197
>> we cannot ignore
bluntly the report that

1474
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:21,997
we have heard is the first time this
Security Council and is on the record

1475
01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:23,917
for history

1476
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:27,117
has heard a case where machines commit

1477
01:18:27,200 --> 01:18:29,117
crimes.

1478
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:33,437
This is not just a random mistake.

1479
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,997
Other person if will be other company

1480
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:39,357
even state secrets please try to convey

1481
01:18:39,440 --> 01:18:44,717
the idea for those that produce
intelligence or artificial intelligence

1482
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:46,317
that

1483
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:49,437
the large part of the planet does not.

1484
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:52,157
And as such the critical infrastructure

1485
01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:55,117
including cyber security systems will be

1486
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:56,877
exposed.

1487
01:18:56,960 --> 01:18:59,917
If you read the cases that were

1488
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:03,917
explained to us today, we will know that

1489
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,157
it will be a crime even against the

1490
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:09,277
state if this will take place at a state

1491
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:13,437
level and it can happen.

1492
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:16,557
The second element uh for us and perhaps

1493
01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:19,757
the major concern is that we haven't

1494
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:23,277
framed the issue correctly

1495
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:28,717
and we must make a refrain of the issue.

1496
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:31,277
I do not think and Colombia does not

1497
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:34,397
think that the issue here is to limit

1498
01:19:34,480 --> 01:19:36,717
human innovation

1499
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:39,997
but machine innovation.

1500
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:44,840
And I explain my words here. Different

1501
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:48,637
reports has telling us that we face two

1502
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:52,077
risks. One is misalignment and the other

1503
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:55,037
is the loss of control. when it comes to

1504
01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:58,637
misalignment is that the machines are

1505
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:03,437
separating or are finding ways to cheat

1506
01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:07,277
break the instructions that were given

1507
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:11,917
by humans that is the agents AI agents

1508
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:14,317
are able to do this repeatedly

1509
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:16,157
systematically

1510
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:20,397
and uh so far even in the cyber security

1511
01:20:20,480 --> 01:20:23,837
case that we analyze they were able to

1512
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:27,437
reach internet and finds way ways to

1513
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:29,597
cheat the system. Other times they are

1514
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:32,317
able to find out passwords, send

1515
01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:35,597
thousands of messages even against the

1516
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:38,157
company that was testing these uh

1517
01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:41,597
machines in the sense box.

1518
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:43,917
But the other one and the one that

1519
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:45,757
should be very very concerning for this

1520
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:50,317
council is the loss of control.

1521
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:53,517
So we would like to go with you with a

1522
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:55,917
logical narrative.

1523
01:20:56,000 --> 01:21:01,277
We are telling us today that AI has an

1524
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:03,597
immense capability to storage

1525
01:21:03,680 --> 01:21:07,357
information that is far far away from

1526
01:21:07,440 --> 01:21:09,757
human capability.

1527
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:12,797
We are knowing now that given the models

1528
01:21:12,880 --> 01:21:16,397
that we are adapting but also the design

1529
01:21:16,480 --> 01:21:20,077
of the algorithm and the paths that we

1530
01:21:20,160 --> 01:21:22,477
open in that design.

1531
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:27,117
These capabilities also allow to involve

1532
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:30,557
a different type of reasoning each day

1533
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:34,237
more complex interdisciplinary.

1534
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:38,237
In other words, soon there won't be any

1535
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:41,837
human capable of following the

1536
01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:44,717
operation, the development of what we

1537
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:46,797
are creating.

1538
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,837
In the first days of the models, we

1539
01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:52,397
notice how the machine were able to pass

1540
01:21:52,480 --> 01:21:55,277
a bar exam in three months, a medical

1541
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:57,997
license exam in three months. So there

1542
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:00,317
are no humans that we know that can do

1543
01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:03,117
that. But at this state-of-the-art of

1544
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:06,317
the technology, we are facing a

1545
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:09,117
different type of situation

1546
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:14,317
which is a pass from human mistakes to

1547
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:18,477
machines random mistakes and we have to

1548
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:21,597
be aware of the risks that we are facing

1549
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:23,757
and assuming if that is the path we

1550
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:25,997
choose to take.

1551
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:29,597
You see the critical issue here is to

1552
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:32,717
know as a security council

1553
01:22:32,800 --> 01:22:35,677
what are we regulating,

1554
01:22:35,760 --> 01:22:39,117
why we need to regulate it and why we

1555
01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:41,997
should do it.

1556
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:44,957
Most importantly, Colombia understands

1557
01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:47,517
the position of the United States and

1558
01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:50,237
shares partially

1559
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:54,637
its practical approach which is

1560
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:59,837
an international body oversign
the sovereign production of AI is

1561
01:22:59,920 --> 01:23:03,997
impractical for two basic
reasons. There are of

1562
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:06,397
course constitutional and national

1563
01:23:06,480 --> 01:23:10,157
security reasons in every country. So

1564
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:13,517
the legal battle will be overwhelming.

1565
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:16,557
But secondly, if one country stops, the

1566
01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:19,197
other says I do not. Especially those

1567
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:22,397
that are leading the race. For the rest

1568
01:23:22,480 --> 01:23:26,237
of humanity, the concerns
and for those that are

1569
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:29,037
behind but will soon catch up. The

1570
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:33,917
concern is what we do next. And that's

1571
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:37,757
where our country can perhaps offer a

1572
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:40,317
different approach.

1573
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:42,877
And again, no between an inelectable

1574
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:46,717
choice between safety and development,

1575
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:48,957
but perhaps

1576
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:52,157
a way to make sure

1577
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:56,317
that all humans on Earth are included.

1578
01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:59,757
Not just by shedding or as we use the

1579
01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:03,757
term adapting our countries because it

1580
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:06,797
seems to us in the global south that

1581
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:11,197
when we call about adapting is to buy a

1582
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:14,477
product that we will not produce

1583
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:17,357
and once we buy the product we can adapt

1584
01:24:17,440 --> 01:24:19,757
our structures and infrastructures.

1585
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:22,877
Again, partially true, but many of these

1586
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:26,557
countries will face an undeniable gap

1587
01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:28,797
that will extend even a century between

1588
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:31,837
another country and the other if we do

1589
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:36,077
not participate of the production of AI.

1590
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:38,877
That's one issue and that's a very very

1591
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:42,077
important issue for the global south. We

1592
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:45,677
do not believe that just by adapting our

1593
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:49,917
infrastructure, by making it safer, we

1594
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:53,517
will also get rid of of the lateral and

1595
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:56,717
collateral problems. And that's when we

1596
01:24:56,800 --> 01:25:00,397
come to the point today we could lose

1597
01:25:00,480 --> 01:25:03,997
millions of jobs. That is a possibility

1598
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:06,557
that is being entertained even in

1599
01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:09,837
developed countries. We have seen how AI

1600
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:12,877
start writing the code

1601
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:16,557
and that for us is perhaps the only

1602
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:19,037
place that we should start the

1603
01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:20,637
regulation

1604
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:24,797
because no one discusses no one would

1605
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:27,357
say that AI is not beneficial for

1606
01:25:27,440 --> 01:25:30,237
research, health development,

1607
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:32,877
technology, communications,

1608
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:36,557
uh cure diseases etc. Well, the benefits

1609
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:39,437
are wide now and we are not trying to

1610
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,077
stop it. But it seems that we are

1611
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:45,757
reaching a new step on AI and the US is

1612
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:48,797
right. This is super intelligence for

1613
01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:52,317
one particular reason only. We are about

1614
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:56,797
to take the step that a
greater and potentially

1615
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:59,117
more complex technology

1616
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:01,837
uh quantum technology will boost

1617
01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:04,957
artificial intelligence in the design in

1618
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:07,597
the model in the modeling and the

1619
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:12,157
development. So the risks
that we are facing today I

1620
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:14,077
want to call the attention of the the

1621
01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:17,277
council are pre-quantum risks. So that

1622
01:26:17,360 --> 01:26:19,997
is before we reach that that state but

1623
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:21,917
we are very very close to reach that

1624
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:25,757
state. But the concerning side for us

1625
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:29,037
and perhaps this is what we will offer

1626
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:31,117
as a different approach rather than

1627
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:35,517
thinking of an international oversight.

1628
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:37,437
The Security Council is concerned

1629
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:40,317
because this technology has the

1630
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:43,997
potential to disrupt and create not just

1631
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:46,317
more inequality across the planet

1632
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:50,397
including violence but also

1633
01:26:50,480 --> 01:26:53,517
development gaps that will lead us to

1634
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:57,357
other types of conflicts including

1635
01:26:57,440 --> 01:26:59,437
global migration

1636
01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:03,757
etc. So we propose to you, we submit to

1637
01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:06,477
you uh an important consideration in

1638
01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:08,797
which perhaps we can start just for that

1639
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:12,317
domain because this is it. This is the

1640
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:14,797
moment.

1641
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:17,917
Autonomous design and autonomous

1642
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:20,317
development. This is what is really

1643
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:23,357
really at stake here.

1644
01:27:23,440 --> 01:27:27,357
Should we allow that machines,

1645
01:27:27,440 --> 01:27:30,157
AI agents take the next step that are

1646
01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:32,157
showing by the experiments that are

1647
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:34,797
shown by the cases they present to us

1648
01:27:34,880 --> 01:27:37,197
and that we that had been published

1649
01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:39,837
actually not just today. There are many

1650
01:27:39,920 --> 01:27:42,877
article journals these are everywhere

1651
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:45,437
that tell us how the the machine finds

1652
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:47,597
another way a different way different

1653
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:50,557
than humans. One will lose control. One

1654
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:52,717
of the major risk of risk management

1655
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:56,397
here which is once we do no longer

1656
01:27:56,480 --> 01:27:59,997
understand what the machine is doing

1657
01:28:00,080 --> 01:28:03,757
because if we go to super intelligence

1658
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:06,717
and we do not possess as humans such a

1659
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:09,437
capacity, we are assuming that we are

1660
01:28:09,520 --> 01:28:13,437
controlling something that we cannot uh

1661
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:17,757
understand. And one of the main elements

1662
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,797
for this technology and I listen to the

1663
01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:23,357
all interventions today.

1664
01:28:23,440 --> 01:28:26,157
Uh we want to make sure that this remain

1665
01:28:26,240 --> 01:28:29,837
human. Well, you see that's the problem.

1666
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:33,197
The human brain needs to understand

1667
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:35,677
the information that has in front of it

1668
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:38,877
to make a decision. But it seems to us

1669
01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:43,277
that we are soon going to leave that

1670
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:45,517
stage and we are going to leave that

1671
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:48,237
stage because the way the technology is

1672
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:51,197
being developed and this is not just a

1673
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:53,517
matter of ethical limits. We understand

1674
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:57,277
that that will be a contradictory for

1675
01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:00,397
many and it will be also a problem in

1676
01:29:00,480 --> 01:29:03,437
terms of legislation and regulations.

1677
01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:06,157
Some might even see that as a red tape

1678
01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:11,757
etc. No, this is another step because

1679
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:13,997
if the machine is the one that starts

1680
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:17,277
leading the design, in other words, the

1681
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:20,957
methods, the paths, the outcomes,

1682
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:24,237
if this is not just and soon will not be

1683
01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:26,477
a problem of

1684
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:31,197
the input and the unreachable goal. In

1685
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:33,117
other words, it seems now that the

1686
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:35,917
machine is trying to just get the goal

1687
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:39,597
done, get things done. And to do that is

1688
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:43,277
finding paths that humans usually do not

1689
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:46,797
take one and did not instruct to take

1690
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:50,557
yet it find a way and it cheats and it

1691
01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:52,797
conceals the outcome

1692
01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:55,757
and that is a concern of course. One is

1693
01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:58,317
that is misalignment. The second one now

1694
01:29:58,400 --> 01:30:01,437
however is that

1695
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:05,437
soon and Mr. Sam Oldman really really

1696
01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:08,797
pointed out to this risk is that the

1697
01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:11,197
autonomous development of artificial

1698
01:30:11,280 --> 01:30:14,157
intelligence what really means is this

1699
01:30:14,240 --> 01:30:16,797
that machines write the code that

1700
01:30:16,880 --> 01:30:19,277
machines find the paths that machines

1701
01:30:19,360 --> 01:30:22,157
establish solutions and again this is

1702
01:30:22,240 --> 01:30:26,797
pre-quantum era so it will be naive at

1703
01:30:26,880 --> 01:30:30,717
least to say to think that we will be

1704
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:32,957
able to even regulate something that

1705
01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:36,077
soon we will not understand.

1706
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:39,117
And this is why perhaps this is the

1707
01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:42,317
moment in history that all nations has

1708
01:30:42,400 --> 01:30:44,877
to come together at least with one

1709
01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:48,957
common goal. Let's keep it human.

1710
01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:52,957
So we should agree
that we want development.

1711
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:56,317
We might even agree that
we don't want oversight.

1712
01:30:56,400 --> 01:31:00,717
We should understand the the concerns
in terms of sovereignity especially of the

1713
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:03,277
nations that have a greater scientific

1714
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:05,837
development. It is not their go their

1715
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:09,197
fault to be fully innovated capacities

1716
01:31:09,280 --> 01:31:11,277
etc. But at least for the rest of

1717
01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:14,157
humanity it should be important that we

1718
01:31:14,240 --> 01:31:17,997
decide how far we go. This is again is

1719
01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:22,157
is not an just an ethical country.
We are not talking even about yet about

1720
01:31:22,240 --> 01:31:24,957
human rights. Some things some some

1721
01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:27,357
countries think that we should in terms

1722
01:31:27,440 --> 01:31:29,757
of private etc. No no no no this is the

1723
01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:32,957
next step are we going to allow machines

1724
01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:35,677
to build machines to to design their own

1725
01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:39,037
AI and if we are there already and and

1726
01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:41,757
and that's perhaps the most important

1727
01:31:41,840 --> 01:31:44,317
element is for the countries to decide

1728
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:49,117
at least that because in practice

1729
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:52,920
uh Mr. president

1730
01:31:55,920 --> 01:31:58,317
>> for many other countries

1731
01:31:58,400 --> 01:32:01,437
particularly Latin American countries

1732
01:32:01,520 --> 01:32:03,837
in practice

1733
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:08,797
this means a risk for the national
production of many countries countries

1734
01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:12,957
that that aren't producing artificial
intelligence and those that have been

1735
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:15,677
invited to buy artificial intelligence

1736
01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:19,837
and invest in it and probably Doing that

1737
01:32:19,920 --> 01:32:24,637
would be the most logical path for them
to modernize the infrastructure of each

1738
01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:26,317
nation and make it as safe and secure as

1739
01:32:26,400 --> 01:32:29,277
possible. But ultimately

1740
01:32:29,360 --> 01:32:32,157
the question remains the same. If we

1741
01:32:32,240 --> 01:32:36,317
have um um regulations even down to the

1742
01:32:36,400 --> 01:32:40,317
production of a tire or a toothbrush, if

1743
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:44,717
we regulate the production of cars,

1744
01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:48,557
if we um do that with nuclear weapons,

1745
01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:51,597
the question remains the same

1746
01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:54,957
in scientific progress including among

1747
01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:58,957
the most important things the Einstein's

1748
01:32:59,040 --> 01:33:01,517
uh the movement from from uh towards

1749
01:33:01,600 --> 01:33:03,677
Einstein's special theory of relativity.

1750
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:07,677
We not only verified that time moves
differently in different spaces, but we

1751
01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:10,237
also came to understand the uh

1752
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:14,717
scientific that scientific precision
is based on perception. And we changed the

1753
01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:18,957
formula from constant velocity that did
not include gravity to another one that

1754
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:23,037
did include gravity. And we reached
a scientific understanding perhaps the

1755
01:33:23,120 --> 01:33:26,557
most important one of the 20th century
without which we would not have GPS for

1756
01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:30,957
example. But there was one
characteristic common

1757
01:33:31,040 --> 01:33:33,997
to all of those cases, including the
production of nuclear weapons. And that

1758
01:33:34,080 --> 01:33:36,397
is that human beings were always in

1759
01:33:36,480 --> 01:33:41,517
control. Human beings
understood the risks. They

1760
01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:45,197
knew what they were doing and they knew
what they were producing and that's why

1761
01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:47,517
they regulated it.

1762
01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:50,077
The concern

1763
01:33:50,160 --> 01:33:53,517
for countries such as Colombia

1764
01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:57,037
isn't scientific progress. Colombia

1765
01:33:57,120 --> 01:33:59,037
invites investment in artificial

1766
01:33:59,120 --> 01:34:00,797
intelligence

1767
01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:04,477
and wants data centers in its country.

1768
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:08,477
We are a strategic partner of various

1769
01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:12,877
countries uh including the United
States in particular and naturally we are

1770
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:17,117
interested in being part of this not
just on the consumption side but also

1771
01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:21,277
the production side of artificial
intelligence and certainly

1772
01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:23,997
um through the provision of rare earths

1773
01:34:24,080 --> 01:34:28,717
as well. But there is something that
goes beyond bilateral commercial or or

1774
01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:33,037
national interests and that
is the interests of humanity

1775
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:35,197
beyond our own time beyond our own

1776
01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:38,557
generation generation and the time that

1777
01:34:38,640 --> 01:34:40,317
is allotted to each and every one of us.

1778
01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:42,717
We are here now and we need to ask

1779
01:34:42,800 --> 01:34:48,120
ourselves this differentiated question

1780
01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:51,597
right now.

1781
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:55,357
We are setting this precedent which in

1782
01:34:55,440 --> 01:34:58,317
the view of a country such as Colombia

1783
01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:00,557
seems to be delicate. We regulated

1784
01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:02,717
nuclear weapons. We regulate the

1785
01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:05,757
manufacturing of tires. We even regulate

1786
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:10,637
the provision of homes. Anything that
could jeopardize the lives of the people

1787
01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:15,437
that use those things is regulated. So
why then would we not regulate something

1788
01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:17,357
which soon we are not even going to

1789
01:35:17,440 --> 01:35:22,397
understand? That makes no sense.

1790
01:35:22,480 --> 01:35:25,677
Super intelligence is not just the

1791
01:35:25,760 --> 01:35:27,277
ability to achieve that through

1792
01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:30,317
scientific transformation but also the

1793
01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:33,757
ability to have that to know when we are

1794
01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:38,317
no longer on the same level.
Thank you very much president.

1795
01:35:38,400 --> 01:35:40,637
>> I thank the permanent representative of

1796
01:35:40,720 --> 01:35:43,277
Colombia for the statement. I will now

1797
01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:48,077
give the floor to her excellency, Miss
TZ Wagner, Minister of Foreign Affairs,

1798
01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:52,157
International Cooperation, and Franco
of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

1799
01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:53,597
Thank you very much, Mr. President.

1800
01:35:53,680 --> 01:35:56,717
Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, the
Democratic Republic of the Congo. Thanks

1801
01:35:56,800 --> 01:36:00,877
Frank thanks France as well as his
excellency Mr. Jean Noel Bahu, Minister

1802
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:04,157
for Europe and Foreign Affairs
for having convened and shared this

1803
01:36:04,240 --> 01:36:06,877
important meeting. I also thank the

1804
01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:10,157
briefers for their contributions to our

1805
01:36:10,240 --> 01:36:12,397
collective reflection. Our debate takes

1806
01:36:12,480 --> 01:36:15,037
place at a pivotal moment. Artificial

1807
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:19,437
intelligence is no longer merely
a matter of scientific progress or

1808
01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:23,757
economic competitiveness. Because of the
speed of its developments, the scope of

1809
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:27,677
its applications, and its growing
integration into critical infrastructure

1810
01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:30,637
and decision-making systems, it now

1811
01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:33,757
raises questions that directly affect

1812
01:36:33,840 --> 01:36:36,557
international peace and security.

1813
01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:40,157
And this reality imposes
a responsibility upon us. the

1814
01:36:40,240 --> 01:36:42,077
responsibility to anticipate risks

1815
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:47,197
without hindering innovation to preserve
the benefits of technological progress

1816
01:36:47,280 --> 01:36:50,957
while preventing it from becoming
an additional factor of instability,

1817
01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:53,917
vulnerability and conflict. The United

1818
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:57,997
Nations have begun laying
the foundations for this reflection. the

1819
01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:02,397
work undertaken by the general
assembly on safe secure and trustworth

1820
01:37:02,480 --> 01:37:04,397
trustworthy artificial intelligence the

1821
01:37:04,480 --> 01:37:06,877
establishment of the independent

1822
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:11,757
international scientific panel on AI and
the global dialogue on AI governance as

1823
01:37:11,840 --> 01:37:15,437
well as the security council's work
on the implications of scientific and

1824
01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:19,517
technological advances for international
peace and security. All of these

1825
01:37:19,600 --> 01:37:23,917
constitute important milestones.
It is now our responsibility to go further

1826
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:28,557
from anticipation to prevention and from
prevention to international cooperation

1827
01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:32,077
that is to measure it with the
transformations underway. Presidents,

1828
01:37:32,160 --> 01:37:34,797
the risks we face are numerous.

1829
01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:38,957
Increasingly capable and autonomous
systems can create new vulnerabilities

1830
01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:41,357
for critical infrastructure and

1831
01:37:41,440 --> 01:37:44,157
decision-making processes. Their use in

1832
01:37:44,240 --> 01:37:46,877
military and security contexts raises as

1833
01:37:46,960 --> 01:37:50,157
fundamental questions of accountability,

1834
01:37:50,240 --> 01:37:53,757
predictability, and human control. We

1835
01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:56,877
must also remain vigilant regarding the

1836
01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:59,437
unforeseen behavior of certain systems,

1837
01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:01,917
the possibility of circumventing

1838
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:06,477
security safeguards, and the growing
difficulties states may encounter in

1839
01:38:06,560 --> 01:38:10,557
understanding, assessing,
and regulating technologies

1840
01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:12,877
whose capabilities are evolving at an

1841
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:15,997
unprecedented pace. These issues take on

1842
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:20,717
a particularly tangible dimension
in conflict situations. In the Democratic

1843
01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:24,077
Republic of the Congo, as in other
theaters of crisis, surveillance

1844
01:38:24,160 --> 01:38:27,997
technologies and drones already play
a growing role in the operational

1845
01:38:28,080 --> 01:38:32,157
environment.
These technologies can contribute

1846
01:38:32,240 --> 01:38:36,317
to reconnaissance, observation,
and ceasefire monitoring. They can also be

1847
01:38:36,400 --> 01:38:38,877
diverted for military reconnaissance,

1848
01:38:38,960 --> 01:38:41,037
coordination, disinformation, or

1849
01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:43,917
propaganda purposes. This ambivalis

1850
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:45,997
reminds us of an essential truth. No

1851
01:38:46,080 --> 01:38:48,637
technology is in itself an instrument of

1852
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:53,517
peace or conflict. It is the framework
within which it is designed, deployed

1853
01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:55,517
and governed that largely determines its

1854
01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:58,237
impact. That is why responsibility must

1855
01:38:58,320 --> 01:39:00,557
remain at the heart of our reflection.

1856
01:39:00,640 --> 01:39:03,437
States have a responsibility to

1857
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:08,157
establish appropriate legal frameworks,
ensure effective oversight, and prevent

1858
01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:09,917
risks that could affect international

1859
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:12,317
peace and security.

1860
01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:15,517
Technology companies must also

1861
01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:19,517
fully assume their share of responsibility
particularly through risk

1862
01:39:19,600 --> 01:39:24,157
assessments prior to deployment,
incident reporting, traceability,

1863
01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:28,797
transparency and maintaining
appropriate human

1864
01:39:28,880 --> 01:39:33,277
oversight. The scientific community
and civil society must likewise be able to

1865
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:36,557
contribute their independent expertise
and participate in the critical

1866
01:39:36,640 --> 01:39:39,517
assessment of risks. But national

1867
01:39:39,600 --> 01:39:44,237
responses, as necessary as they may
be, will not suffice. Technological

1868
01:39:44,320 --> 01:39:48,477
interdependence calls for shared
responsibility. It requires

1869
01:39:48,560 --> 01:39:52,157
closer international cooperation
based in particular on the exchange of

1870
01:39:52,240 --> 01:39:55,277
information concerning serious incidents

1871
01:39:55,360 --> 01:39:59,437
and identified vulnerabilities,
cooperation and evaluation and safety

1872
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:04,157
testing, as well as the establishment
of communication channels among governance

1873
01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:08,077
government scientists and technology
stakeholders. President, for the

1874
01:40:08,160 --> 01:40:09,597
Democratic Republic of the Congo, this

1875
01:40:09,680 --> 01:40:12,317
cooperation must also meet a fundamental

1876
01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:15,117
requirement, that of inclusion.

1877
01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:19,837
Developing countries cannot be
reduced to the role of mere users of

1878
01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:24,797
technologies designed elsewhere,
nor should be the mere recipients of

1879
01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:26,397
standards and norms that they did not

1880
01:40:26,480 --> 01:40:29,917
adequately participate in shaping.

1881
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:34,237
They must possess the scientific,
technical and institutional capacities

1882
01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:37,117
that enable them to assess the
technologies to which their populations

1883
01:40:37,200 --> 01:40:41,517
and economies are exposed to participate
in their governance and above all to

1884
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:43,917
contribute to innovation themselves.

1885
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:46,477
This requirement of inclusion leads us

1886
01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:48,317
to consider artificial intelligence

1887
01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:51,757
across its entire value chain.

1888
01:40:51,840 --> 01:40:55,117
For despite its seemingly immaterial

1889
01:40:55,200 --> 01:40:59,357
nature, the AI revolution rests
upon profoundly material realities,

1890
01:40:59,440 --> 01:41:01,917
infrastructure, energy, industrial

1891
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:07,197
capabilities, and strategic natural
resources. This dimension is of

1892
01:41:07,280 --> 01:41:11,517
particular importance to the Democratic
Republic of the Congo. During its

1893
01:41:11,600 --> 01:41:13,357
presidency of the security council last

1894
01:41:13,440 --> 01:41:16,157
July, my country invited the council to

1895
01:41:16,240 --> 01:41:19,597
reflect on how responsible, transparent

1896
01:41:19,680 --> 01:41:23,597
and equitable governance of natural
resources can contribute to conflict

1897
01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:25,197
prevention,

1898
01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:27,677
supply chain security

1899
01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:32,477
and the emergence of shared prosperity.

1900
01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:35,357
The AI revolution gives this reflection

1901
01:41:35,440 --> 01:41:37,357
additional relevance. We must ensure

1902
01:41:37,440 --> 01:41:39,517
that technological transformations of

1903
01:41:39,600 --> 01:41:42,397
the 21st century do not reproduce the

1904
01:41:42,480 --> 01:41:45,757
economic imbalances of previous decades.

1905
01:41:45,840 --> 01:41:49,917
Countries supplying
essential resources to the

1906
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:52,557
global economy while processing

1907
01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:54,637
technology and most of the added value

1908
01:41:54,720 --> 01:41:57,197
remain concentrated elsewhere. The

1909
01:41:57,280 --> 01:42:01,277
security of supply chains cannot be

1910
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:03,357
separated from the prosperity of the

1911
01:42:03,440 --> 01:42:06,717
populations at their source. That is why

1912
01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:09,437
AI governance must also be approached

1913
01:42:09,520 --> 01:42:12,637
from a logic of shared responsibility.

1914
01:42:12,720 --> 01:42:17,037
Responsibility in the design of systems,
responsibility in their use and

1915
01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:22,157
responsibility within the value chains
that make their development possible and

1916
01:42:22,240 --> 01:42:26,157
also responsibility in the distribution
of the benefits of technological

1917
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:29,917
progress.
For the Democratic Republic of the

1918
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:34,717
Congo, the objective
is clear. The resources

1919
01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:37,917
that help make the digital revolution
possible must also contribute to the

1920
01:42:38,000 --> 01:42:41,357
development, economic transformation,
industrialization and strengthening of

1921
01:42:41,440 --> 01:42:45,677
the technological capabilities of those
countries that produce them. This is not

1922
01:42:45,760 --> 01:42:47,837
merely a matter of development. It is

1923
01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:52,717
also a matter of peace. When value
chains are opaque and benefits are

1924
01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:56,797
distributed unequally
and when producing communities

1925
01:42:56,880 --> 01:43:00,557
remain excluded from the prosperity
generated by their own resources,

1926
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:03,997
economic vulnerabilities can fuel tensions

1927
01:43:04,080 --> 01:43:06,557
and conflict economies.

1928
01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:08,637
Conversely, when resources are governed

1929
01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:11,277
responsibly, when local processing

1930
01:43:11,360 --> 01:43:13,917
creates jobs and opportunities,

1931
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:17,197
and when populations genuinely share in

1932
01:43:17,280 --> 01:43:21,437
the benefits of growth, supply chains
can not only become more secure and

1933
01:43:21,520 --> 01:43:25,677
resilient, but also chains
of shared prosperity.

1934
01:43:25,760 --> 01:43:27,757
Mr. President, it is precisely here that

1935
01:43:27,840 --> 01:43:30,957
the security council can bring added

1936
01:43:31,040 --> 01:43:35,357
value. It is not the council's role
to replace the appropriate bodies

1937
01:43:35,440 --> 01:43:37,197
responsible for developing the full

1938
01:43:37,280 --> 01:43:39,837
range of technical rules relating to AI,

1939
01:43:39,920 --> 01:43:42,877
but it is fully within the council's

1940
01:43:42,960 --> 01:43:47,037
remit to anticipate the risks that may
affect international peace and security

1941
01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:49,117
to consider how new technologies

1942
01:43:49,200 --> 01:43:52,477
transform conflict dynamics, to protect

1943
01:43:52,560 --> 01:43:56,557
civilians, to encourage confidence
building measures, and to ensure that

1944
01:43:56,640 --> 01:44:00,557
technological transformations
do not create new vulnerabilities

1945
01:44:00,640 --> 01:44:03,277
that could fuel and stability.

1946
01:44:03,360 --> 01:44:07,517
Our objective must therefore not

1947
01:44:07,600 --> 01:44:10,957
be to choose between innovation
and security any more than it should be to

1948
01:44:11,040 --> 01:44:14,877
choose between natural resources
and development. Our responsibility is to

1949
01:44:14,960 --> 01:44:17,917
govern progress so that it serves

1950
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:21,997
humanity. As July under
the presidency of the DRC,

1951
01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:25,517
our council reflected on how to transform

1952
01:44:25,600 --> 01:44:29,757
natural resources which are too often
associated with conflict economies into

1953
01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:31,357
instruments of peace, cooperation, and

1954
01:44:31,440 --> 01:44:33,837
shared prosperity.

1955
01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:38,717
Today, the AI revolution in another form

1956
01:44:38,800 --> 01:44:41,517
puts us in front of a similar question.

1957
01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:45,117
How can we ensure that technological
progress reduces divisions rather than

1958
01:44:45,200 --> 01:44:46,797
deepening them? How can we ensure that

1959
01:44:46,880 --> 01:44:49,357
it strengthens states capacities rather

1960
01:44:49,440 --> 01:44:52,477
than creating new dependencies?

1961
01:44:52,560 --> 01:44:56,397
And finally, how can we ensure
that value chains, the value chains

1962
01:44:56,480 --> 01:44:59,677
supporting this revolution contribute
to the peace and prosperity of the

1963
01:44:59,760 --> 01:45:04,077
societies that make them possible
for the Democratic Republic of the Congo?

1964
01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:06,317
The answer must rest on three

1965
01:45:06,400 --> 01:45:08,077
principles: shared responsibility,

1966
01:45:08,160 --> 01:45:12,397
inclusion, and shared prosperity.

1967
01:45:12,480 --> 01:45:15,997
As the capabilities of artificial

1968
01:45:16,080 --> 01:45:19,917
intelligence advance, our collective
capacity to govern them must advance

1969
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:24,157
alongside them. Because whether
the subject is natural resources or

1970
01:45:24,240 --> 01:45:27,517
artificial intelligence, the fundamental
question remains the same. It is not

1971
01:45:27,600 --> 01:45:31,837
only about what our resources
and technologies enable us to do, but also

1972
01:45:31,920 --> 01:45:33,917
about what we collectively decide to do

1973
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:36,717
with them and that is where our common

1974
01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:39,037
responsibility begins. Thank you. I

1975
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:44,157
thank her excellency Misswbo
Wagner for the statement and I

1976
01:45:44,240 --> 01:45:49,400
now give the floor to the permanent
representative of China.

1977
01:45:52,160 --> 01:45:55,837
>> Thank you president. I thank France
for convening this meeting and thank the

1978
01:45:55,920 --> 01:45:58,157
briefers for their presentations.

1979
01:45:58,240 --> 01:46:02,557
Artificial intelligence or AI is an
important driver of the new round of

1980
01:46:02,640 --> 01:46:06,637
technological revolution, industrial
transformation and as such brings to

1981
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:09,917
humanity immense convenience
and opportunities for their life and

1982
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:13,437
productive activities while also
creating new issues and challenges for

1983
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:16,957
international peace and security.
It is incumbent upon the international

1984
01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:20,877
community to work more closely together,
attach equal importance to development

1985
01:46:20,960 --> 01:46:23,917
and security and steer AI development

1986
01:46:24,000 --> 01:46:28,717
for the positive for good and for
humanity thereby contributing to world

1987
01:46:28,800 --> 01:46:32,397
peace, stability, development
and prosperity. I wish to underscore the

1988
01:46:32,480 --> 01:46:36,717
following points. The first point is about
respecting digital sovereignty and

1989
01:46:36,800 --> 01:46:39,117
advocating openness for mutual benefit.

1990
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:41,597
As AI technology is deeply embedded in

1991
01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:45,357
global production and supply chains and

1992
01:46:45,440 --> 01:46:48,317
innovation networks,

1993
01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:52,957
all countries have the right
to independently choose AI technologies,

1994
01:46:53,040 --> 01:46:56,717
products and services following
the dictates of their actual needs and

1995
01:46:56,800 --> 01:46:59,117
market principles.

1996
01:46:59,200 --> 01:47:01,997
Banding together into a petty us versus

1997
01:47:02,080 --> 01:47:04,717
them clique in the tech sector and

1998
01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:09,437
forcing other countries to take sides
is tantamount to politicizing and

1999
01:47:09,520 --> 01:47:11,677
instrumentalizing tech issues in the

2000
01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:14,557
service of certain major powers attempt

2001
01:47:14,640 --> 01:47:16,957
to maintain their technological edge

2002
01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:19,277
through monopoly in their quest for

2003
01:47:19,360 --> 01:47:21,917
digital hedgeimonyy. This not only

2004
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:26,317
hampers global tech progress to the
detriment of the development rights and

2005
01:47:26,400 --> 01:47:30,557
interests of all countries, especially
smaller nations, but also increases the

2006
01:47:30,640 --> 01:47:34,557
risk of fragmentation of technical
standards and incompatibility between

2007
01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:39,277
systems and thus putting global security
in serious jeopardy. We call on all

2008
01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:41,277
countries to enhance exchanges and

2009
01:47:41,360 --> 01:47:44,397
cooperation, promote open

2010
01:47:44,480 --> 01:47:48,477
source and open ecosystems, and work
together for global scientific and

2011
01:47:48,560 --> 01:47:52,477
technological advancement. My second
point is about strengthening risk

2012
01:47:52,560 --> 01:47:55,117
awareness and ensuring that AI is secure

2013
01:47:55,200 --> 01:47:57,917
and controllable. All countries should

2014
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:01,437
uphold the people centered philosophy.

2015
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:05,997
Making sure AI research, development
and application are in line with the

2016
01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:10,157
purposes and principles of the UN
charter and applicable international law

2017
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:12,877
as well as the common values of humanity

2018
01:48:12,960 --> 01:48:16,077
and social ethics. In response to the

2019
01:48:16,160 --> 01:48:18,957
inherent and secondary risks posed by

2020
01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:23,837
AI, it is necessary to continuously
improve improve regulatory frameworks,

2021
01:48:23,920 --> 01:48:25,677
emergency response and crossber

2022
01:48:25,760 --> 01:48:28,317
cooperation mechanisms and resolutely

2023
01:48:28,400 --> 01:48:31,277
combat the malicious abuse of AI by

2024
01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:34,317
terrorist organizations, extremist

2025
01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:37,117
forces and transnational criminal

2026
01:48:37,200 --> 01:48:40,477
groups. Relevant businesses, especially

2027
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:43,357
tech giants, should fulfill their social

2028
01:48:43,440 --> 01:48:45,917
responsibilities, counter disinformation

2029
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:48,157
and hate speech, and subject themselves

2030
01:48:48,240 --> 01:48:50,877
to regulation by law and oversight by

2031
01:48:50,960 --> 01:48:55,757
the public. Regarding AI, R&D and
application in the military domain, all

2032
01:48:55,840 --> 01:48:57,837
countries should take a prudent and

2033
01:48:57,920 --> 01:49:00,477
responsible approach. avoid strategic

2034
01:49:00,560 --> 01:49:03,997
miscalculations and an arms race. Oppose

2035
01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:08,717
the use of related weapons
for indiscriminate attacks or deliberate

2036
01:49:08,800 --> 01:49:10,957
strikes against civilians and civilian

2037
01:49:11,040 --> 01:49:13,357
facilities and make sure that the

2038
01:49:13,440 --> 01:49:16,237
ultimate decision making power stays

2039
01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:19,117
with humans. The third point is about

2040
01:49:19,200 --> 01:49:21,597
upholding AI for good and strengthening

2041
01:49:21,680 --> 01:49:24,717
technological empowerment. AI has

2042
01:49:24,800 --> 01:49:28,877
unlocked many possibilities
for addressing global challenges such as

2043
01:49:28,960 --> 01:49:32,957
those related to climate change,
food security, public health, energy

2044
01:49:33,040 --> 01:49:35,757
transition, and natural disasters. The

2045
01:49:35,840 --> 01:49:37,357
international community should seize

2046
01:49:37,440 --> 01:49:40,237
this historic opportunity, support the

2047
01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:43,677
empowerment of all industries through AI

2048
01:49:43,760 --> 01:49:47,197
technologies and provide guidance for

2049
01:49:47,280 --> 01:49:49,277
technological advances to better

2050
01:49:49,360 --> 01:49:52,157
translate into improvements in public

2051
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:56,557
well-being. We welcome the United
Nations efforts to make the best use of

2052
01:49:56,640 --> 01:50:00,237
existing resources and apply AI
technology to enhance the quality and

2053
01:50:00,320 --> 01:50:02,237
efficiency of its work thereby providing

2054
01:50:02,320 --> 01:50:04,877
more agile and responsive service to

2055
01:50:04,960 --> 01:50:09,837
member states. UN field missions with
the consent of the host governments and

2056
01:50:09,920 --> 01:50:13,757
in line with their respective mandates
may use AI technology properly to

2057
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:18,157
strengthen their situational awareness,
information analysis analysis, risk

2058
01:50:18,240 --> 01:50:22,317
early warning and rapid response
capabilities. My fourth point is about

2059
01:50:22,400 --> 01:50:25,117
promoting fairness and inclusivity and

2060
01:50:25,200 --> 01:50:27,677
improving global governance. AI is a

2061
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:30,637
shared asset for all humanity and should

2062
01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:33,037
not become rich countries and rich

2063
01:50:33,120 --> 01:50:35,757
people's game. We must prevent the

2064
01:50:35,840 --> 01:50:39,757
digital and AI divides from exacerbating

2065
01:50:39,840 --> 01:50:42,717
the development divide. Increase support

2066
01:50:42,800 --> 01:50:46,077
for the global south. help people of all

2067
01:50:46,160 --> 01:50:50,877
countries peacefully partake of the
dividends of technological progress and

2068
01:50:50,960 --> 01:50:52,557
make them more resilient against

2069
01:50:52,640 --> 01:50:55,837
security risks. We must practice true

2070
01:50:55,920 --> 01:51:01,037
multilateralism, support the UN as the
main forum of global AI governance and

2071
01:51:01,120 --> 01:51:02,797
give developing countries more

2072
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:05,597
representation and a bigger voice. On

2073
01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:08,077
the basis of respecting the diversity of

2074
01:51:08,160 --> 01:51:10,717
civilizations and the uniqueness of each

2075
01:51:10,800 --> 01:51:12,957
country's culture, we should enhance

2076
01:51:13,040 --> 01:51:15,597
alignment and coordination on AI

2077
01:51:15,680 --> 01:51:18,077
development strategies, governance rules

2078
01:51:18,160 --> 01:51:21,117
and technical standards and form a

2079
01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:22,797
consensusbased

2080
01:51:22,880 --> 01:51:25,117
global governance framework at an early

2081
01:51:25,200 --> 01:51:28,157
date so as to build institutional guard

2082
01:51:28,240 --> 01:51:30,477
rails that preserve international peace

2083
01:51:30,560 --> 01:51:33,357
and security. President China is an

2084
01:51:33,440 --> 01:51:36,477
important practitioner in AI innovation

2085
01:51:36,560 --> 01:51:40,477
and development and an active
contributor to global governance. Since

2086
01:51:40,560 --> 01:51:43,357
President Xi Jinping launched the global

2087
01:51:43,440 --> 01:51:46,317
AI governance initiative, China has

2088
01:51:46,400 --> 01:51:49,597
helped the UN General Assembly adopt by

2089
01:51:49,680 --> 01:51:52,877
consensus the resolution on enhancing

2090
01:51:52,960 --> 01:51:54,797
international cooperation on capacity

2091
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:57,117
building of artificial intelligence and

2092
01:51:57,200 --> 01:52:00,397
tabled the AI capacity building action

2093
01:52:00,480 --> 01:52:03,997
plan for good and for all and the AI

2094
01:52:04,080 --> 01:52:05,757
plus international cooperation

2095
01:52:05,840 --> 01:52:08,397
initiative. In July this year, President

2096
01:52:08,480 --> 01:52:11,117
Xi Jinping announced at the World AI

2097
01:52:11,200 --> 01:52:13,277
Conference that in the next five years,

2098
01:52:13,360 --> 01:52:16,477
China will provide 5,000 opportunities

2099
01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:19,597
in AI training and seminar programs for

2100
01:52:19,680 --> 01:52:22,797
developing countries.

2101
01:52:22,880 --> 01:52:27,437
build international AI application
cooperation centers for ASEAN, the

2102
01:52:27,520 --> 01:52:29,357
League of Arab States, the African

2103
01:52:29,440 --> 01:52:33,117
Union, SELAC, the Shanghai Corporation

2104
01:52:33,200 --> 01:52:35,757
Organization and BRICS, and advanced the

2105
01:52:35,840 --> 01:52:38,077
application of the AI powered

2106
01:52:38,160 --> 01:52:41,357
meteorological warning system named MASU

2107
01:52:41,440 --> 01:52:45,117
in 30 countries proposed and championed

2108
01:52:45,200 --> 01:52:47,837
by China and in response to the call of

2109
01:52:47,920 --> 01:52:50,637
our time, the World Artificial

2110
01:52:50,720 --> 01:52:55,597
Intelligence Cooperation Organization
ation or Wiko for short was founded in

2111
01:52:55,680 --> 01:52:58,877
the city of Shanghai. It is the
world's first ever intergovernmental

2112
01:52:58,960 --> 01:53:02,637
international organization dedicated
to AI. We welcome more countries to join

2113
01:53:02,720 --> 01:53:06,557
this open platform and look forward to
working with all nations to help build a

2114
01:53:06,640 --> 01:53:11,117
just and equitable system for global
AI governance. Together we can and shall

2115
01:53:11,200 --> 01:53:12,877
create brighter future for humanity.

2116
01:53:12,960 --> 01:53:16,877
Thank you, President. >> I thank
the permanent representative of

2117
01:53:16,960 --> 01:53:19,037
China for this statement. I now give the

2118
01:53:19,120 --> 01:53:24,120
floor to the representative
of the Russian Federation.

2119
01:53:26,560 --> 01:53:30,637
Mr. President, we thank
the briefers for their

2120
01:53:30,720 --> 01:53:33,117
contributions to the discussion today.

2121
01:53:33,200 --> 01:53:36,797
Artificial intelligence has become quite
a trendy topic and there is virtually no

2122
01:53:36,880 --> 01:53:40,477
one in the world who is indifferent to it.
It is now being discussed in a

2123
01:53:40,560 --> 01:53:43,357
variety of political and expert fora and

2124
01:53:43,440 --> 01:53:45,677
the security council is no exception.

2125
01:53:45,760 --> 01:53:47,677
However, this principal organ of the

2126
01:53:47,760 --> 01:53:51,037
United Nations has clear limitations.

2127
01:53:51,120 --> 01:53:53,997
First of all, it is hard to see how the

2128
01:53:54,080 --> 01:53:55,917
generic topic of artificial intelligence

2129
01:53:56,000 --> 01:53:59,677
is related to the council's mandate as

2130
01:53:59,760 --> 01:54:03,437
clearly defined in the UN charter
for the maintenance of international peace

2131
01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:05,277
and security. Secondly, and equally

2132
01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:07,997
importantly, the countries of Africa,

2133
01:54:08,080 --> 01:54:10,797
Asia, and Latin America are under

2134
01:54:10,880 --> 01:54:13,757
represented in the security council. The

2135
01:54:13,840 --> 01:54:16,237
voice of the global south is unlikely to

2136
01:54:16,320 --> 01:54:18,557
be heard in full. Accordingly, there is

2137
01:54:18,640 --> 01:54:23,357
a high risk that the dominant
group of Western states in the

2138
01:54:23,440 --> 01:54:27,277
council, which is interested
in preserving and consolidating its

2139
01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:29,837
technological leadership in this area,

2140
01:54:29,920 --> 01:54:32,717
will seek to impose

2141
01:54:32,800 --> 01:54:37,517
its narrow self-serving approach on the
entire international community to the

2142
01:54:37,600 --> 01:54:39,517
detriment of the prerogative of

2143
01:54:39,600 --> 01:54:42,157
inclusive specialized mechanisms engaged

2144
01:54:42,240 --> 01:54:46,077
in practical work in this field.

2145
01:54:46,160 --> 01:54:50,840
And regrettably,
this is already happening.

2146
01:54:51,040 --> 01:54:53,757
One striking example is the holding of

2147
01:54:53,840 --> 01:54:56,717
closed door summits on the so-called

2148
01:54:56,800 --> 01:55:00,237
responsible military use of

2149
01:55:00,320 --> 01:55:03,757
AI to which most developing countries are

2150
01:55:03,840 --> 01:55:08,877
not invited. Finally,

2151
01:55:08,960 --> 01:55:10,717
issues relating to both the civilian and

2152
01:55:10,800 --> 01:55:14,317
military applications of AI technologies

2153
01:55:14,400 --> 01:55:17,677
are complex and multi-dimensional

2154
01:55:17,760 --> 01:55:21,757
and that is precisely why these issues

2155
01:55:21,840 --> 01:55:23,997
should be discussed in relevant

2156
01:55:24,080 --> 01:55:26,797
specialized fora. For instance,

2157
01:55:26,880 --> 01:55:32,200
discussions of AI enabled cyber attacks

2158
01:55:32,320 --> 01:55:36,317
would be more appropriate
within the global

2159
01:55:36,400 --> 01:55:38,797
mechanism established as the successor

2160
01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:41,917
to the UN open-ended working group on

2161
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:46,920
security of and in the use of ICTs.

2162
01:55:48,240 --> 01:55:49,997
And for the consideration of the

2163
01:55:50,080 --> 01:55:53,677
military aspects of AI, there is the

2164
01:55:53,760 --> 01:55:55,917
group of governmental experts on lethal

2165
01:55:56,000 --> 01:56:00,717
autonomous weapons systems which
operates under the framework of the

2166
01:56:00,800 --> 01:56:05,640
convention on certain
conventional weapons.

2167
01:56:06,160 --> 01:56:08,157
Would like to draw colleagues attention

2168
01:56:08,240 --> 01:56:12,717
to the fact that the GGE in Geneva

2169
01:56:12,800 --> 01:56:17,357
adopted a substantive consensus
report just three weeks ago.

2170
01:56:17,440 --> 01:56:21,357
This outcome serves as a
practical confirmation of

2171
01:56:21,440 --> 01:56:23,837
the effectiveness and relevance of that

2172
01:56:23,920 --> 01:56:27,037
forum. Most importantly, the report

2173
01:56:27,120 --> 01:56:31,197
contains a working definition
of lethal autonomous weapons systems,

2174
01:56:31,280 --> 01:56:34,557
common understandings regarding
the applicability of the norms of

2175
01:56:34,640 --> 01:56:36,237
international law to such systems,

2176
01:56:36,320 --> 01:56:37,917
including international humanitarian

2177
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:42,477
law, as well as parameters

2178
01:56:42,560 --> 01:56:45,357
for ensuring human control in order to

2179
01:56:45,440 --> 01:56:52,280
mitigate risks. associated
with the military use of AI.

2180
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:58,237
We do not believe it would be advisable
to undermine the constructive work

2181
01:56:58,320 --> 01:57:02,317
there's already been accomplished
in Geneva. For our part, we are ready to

2182
01:57:02,400 --> 01:57:04,237
continue participating actively in the

2183
01:57:04,320 --> 01:57:06,637
group's work with the view to further

2184
01:57:06,720 --> 01:57:10,877
aligning common approaches in this area.

2185
01:57:10,960 --> 01:57:14,280
Mr. President,

2186
01:57:14,400 --> 01:57:17,357
we have carefully studied the concept

2187
01:57:17,440 --> 01:57:21,997
note for today's meeting
circulated by the French presidency.

2188
01:57:22,080 --> 01:57:23,837
We believe it is counterproductive to

2189
01:57:23,920 --> 01:57:25,837
consider the use of AI technologies

2190
01:57:25,920 --> 01:57:29,197
solely through the lens of risk.

2191
01:57:29,280 --> 01:57:32,157
After all, every coin has two sides. The

2192
01:57:32,240 --> 01:57:34,637
advantages of AI include reliability,

2193
01:57:34,720 --> 01:57:38,317
security, and above all speed,

2194
01:57:38,400 --> 01:57:41,357
including in decision-m.

2195
01:57:41,440 --> 01:57:44,957
AI allows to carry out an effective

2196
01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:49,437
analysis of large data sets.

2197
01:57:49,520 --> 01:57:53,277
It can help to identify threats, enhance

2198
01:57:53,360 --> 01:57:55,997
situational awareness, and improve

2199
01:57:56,080 --> 01:58:00,957
precision in the conduct of operations
as well as reduce risks to the civilian

2200
01:58:01,040 --> 01:58:03,997
population and strengthen
the protection of

2201
01:58:04,080 --> 01:58:05,917
civilian objects.

2202
01:58:06,000 --> 01:58:10,397
At the same time, of course,

2203
01:58:10,480 --> 01:58:11,917
it must be borne in mind that this

2204
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:14,397
technology also entails risks.

2205
01:58:14,480 --> 01:58:17,677
minimizing them is

2206
01:58:17,760 --> 01:58:19,517
first and foremost a matter of ensuring

2207
01:58:19,600 --> 01:58:25,160
human control over the functioning
of AI enabled technologies.

2208
01:58:25,600 --> 01:58:27,917
The specific forms of such controls are

2209
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:34,120
determined by states in practice
at the national level.

2210
01:58:34,480 --> 01:58:36,637
Some possible means of ensuring human

2211
01:58:36,720 --> 01:58:40,397
control include, for example,

2212
01:58:40,480 --> 01:58:44,877
enhancing system
reliability and resiliency,

2213
01:58:44,960 --> 01:58:48,077
limiting the types of targets, restricting

2214
01:58:48,160 --> 01:58:50,637
the duration of operation, geographical

2215
01:58:50,720 --> 01:58:54,557
scope and scale of use,

2216
01:58:54,640 --> 01:58:57,517
and timely intervention and deactivation

2217
01:58:57,600 --> 01:58:59,437
of the system.

2218
01:58:59,520 --> 01:59:02,317
In addition,

2219
01:59:02,400 --> 01:59:04,877
steps must also undertake measures to

2220
01:59:04,960 --> 01:59:07,357
detect and minimize errors in algorithms

2221
01:59:07,440 --> 01:59:11,597
and data sets as well as adopt

2222
01:59:11,680 --> 01:59:16,477
appropriate measures to prevent and
suppress violations of international law

2223
01:59:16,560 --> 01:59:21,277
in the context of the development
and use of relevant technologies. Such

2224
01:59:21,360 --> 01:59:23,357
measures

2225
01:59:23,440 --> 01:59:25,997
could include effective life cycle

2226
01:59:26,080 --> 01:59:28,717
management of weapons systems and

2227
01:59:28,800 --> 01:59:31,597
military equipment,

2228
01:59:31,680 --> 01:59:33,837
establishing readiness criteria, and

2229
01:59:33,920 --> 01:59:39,757
ensuring maximum protection
from unauthorized access.

2230
01:59:39,840 --> 01:59:45,037
We also see added value
in exchanging views

2231
01:59:45,120 --> 01:59:47,517
and developing specific recommendations

2232
01:59:47,600 --> 01:59:50,717
and guidelines. However, it is important

2233
01:59:50,800 --> 01:59:52,797
that this be done exclusively in

2234
01:59:52,880 --> 01:59:56,397
relevant specialized bodies.

2235
01:59:56,480 --> 02:00:00,077
Russia does not object to a multilateral

2236
02:00:00,160 --> 02:00:02,797
dialogue on the applications of AI in

2237
02:00:02,880 --> 02:00:05,437
principle and this includes the military

2238
02:00:05,520 --> 02:00:09,837
applications of AI as well
as considering the implications of the use

2239
02:00:09,920 --> 02:00:11,437
of such tools for international peace

2240
02:00:11,520 --> 02:00:13,997
and security. We are convinced however

2241
02:00:14,080 --> 02:00:17,037
that such a dialogue must be based on

2242
02:00:17,120 --> 02:00:20,317
consensus and inclusiveness

2243
02:00:20,400 --> 02:00:23,197
and be intergovernmental in nature.

2244
02:00:23,280 --> 02:00:28,077
These fundamental principles are
intended to guarantee guarantee that

2245
02:00:28,160 --> 02:00:29,917
the interests of every member state are

2246
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:32,797
taken into account and to ensure that

2247
02:00:32,880 --> 02:00:35,277
the decisions adopted are effective.

2248
02:00:35,360 --> 02:00:37,277
Moreover, in exchanging views on this

2249
02:00:37,360 --> 02:00:39,597
subject,

2250
02:00:39,680 --> 02:00:42,877
a particular focus must be placed on

2251
02:00:42,960 --> 02:00:46,157
ensuring nondiscriminatory and equitable

2252
02:00:46,240 --> 02:00:51,037
access for all states, particularly
the countries of the global south, to AI

2253
02:00:51,120 --> 02:00:55,117
technologies.
Thank you for your attention.

2254
02:00:55,200 --> 02:00:57,677
>> I thank the representative of the
Russian Federation for his statement. I

2255
02:00:57,760 --> 02:01:01,917
now give the floor to the permanent
representative of Liberia.

2256
02:01:02,000 --> 02:01:04,637
>> Thank you, Mr. President. Liberia joins

2257
02:01:04,720 --> 02:01:07,757
in thanking the presidency of France for

2258
02:01:07,840 --> 02:01:09,437
convening

2259
02:01:09,520 --> 02:01:13,357
this critical debate

2260
02:01:13,440 --> 02:01:16,797
and we thank the briefers for sharing

2261
02:01:16,880 --> 02:01:20,237
their qualified perspectives.

2262
02:01:20,320 --> 02:01:22,797
We also join in welcoming the high level

2263
02:01:22,880 --> 02:01:27,037
dignitaries participating.

2264
02:01:27,120 --> 02:01:29,437
Excellencies,

2265
02:01:29,520 --> 02:01:33,197
history teaches us that humanity's

2266
02:01:33,280 --> 02:01:35,677
greatest transformations

2267
02:01:35,760 --> 02:01:38,717
are never defined by technological

2268
02:01:38,800 --> 02:01:41,437
breakthroughs alone.

2269
02:01:41,520 --> 02:01:45,597
Every fundamental leap in capability

2270
02:01:45,680 --> 02:01:49,117
has demanded an equal leap in

2271
02:01:49,200 --> 02:01:50,637
governance,

2272
02:01:50,720 --> 02:01:53,757
ethical frameworks and multilateral

2273
02:01:53,840 --> 02:01:57,277
rules to ensure that power remains

2274
02:01:57,360 --> 02:02:01,197
titted to the common good.

2275
02:02:01,280 --> 02:02:03,837
Artificial intelligence

2276
02:02:03,920 --> 02:02:07,757
presents the defining test of that

2277
02:02:07,840 --> 02:02:10,557
timeless principle.

2278
02:02:10,640 --> 02:02:13,997
Its promise to uplift societies

2279
02:02:14,080 --> 02:02:17,117
is immense.

2280
02:02:17,200 --> 02:02:22,157
So too is the existential peril should

2281
02:02:22,240 --> 02:02:24,077
its trajectory

2282
02:02:24,160 --> 02:02:27,597
strip human control, institutional

2283
02:02:27,680 --> 02:02:34,520
accountability and ethical oversight.

2284
02:02:36,240 --> 02:02:39,277
81 years ago,

2285
02:02:39,360 --> 02:02:41,437
the architects of the United Nations

2286
02:02:41,520 --> 02:02:45,917
Charter confronted a world fractured by

2287
02:02:46,000 --> 02:02:52,920
unrestrained power. They recognized

2288
02:02:53,360 --> 02:02:58,077
that sustainable peace cannot be secured

2289
02:02:58,160 --> 02:03:02,397
merely by reacting to crisis after the

2290
02:03:02,480 --> 02:03:05,677
smoke has cleared.

2291
02:03:05,760 --> 02:03:09,037
It demands foresight, sustained

2292
02:03:09,120 --> 02:03:11,597
multilateral cooperation

2293
02:03:11,680 --> 02:03:15,357
and institutions capable of anticipating

2294
02:03:15,440 --> 02:03:19,437
and neutralizing threats before they

2295
02:03:19,520 --> 02:03:23,757
ignite global conflict.

2296
02:03:23,840 --> 02:03:26,957
While the delegates at San Francisco in

2297
02:03:27,040 --> 02:03:28,957
1945

2298
02:03:29,040 --> 02:03:31,837
could not have envisioned neural

2299
02:03:31,920 --> 02:03:36,477
networks or frontier computing models,

2300
02:03:36,560 --> 02:03:39,837
any capability that reshapes the nature

2301
02:03:39,920 --> 02:03:41,837
of warfare,

2302
02:03:41,920 --> 02:03:45,997
sovereignty, and geopolitical stability

2303
02:03:46,080 --> 02:03:49,837
falls squarely within this council's

2304
02:03:49,920 --> 02:03:52,477
primary mandate to maintain

2305
02:03:52,560 --> 02:03:57,197
international peace. peace and security.

2306
02:03:57,280 --> 02:03:59,597
Mr. President,

2307
02:03:59,680 --> 02:04:02,317
artificial intelligence

2308
02:04:02,400 --> 02:04:05,917
is already reshaping critical

2309
02:04:06,000 --> 02:04:07,837
infrastructure,

2310
02:04:07,920 --> 02:04:12,957
global commerce, and social cohesion.

2311
02:04:13,040 --> 02:04:15,837
Governed responsibly,

2312
02:04:15,920 --> 02:04:19,037
these technologies can empower the

2313
02:04:19,120 --> 02:04:23,277
United Nations, enhancing conflict,

2314
02:04:23,360 --> 02:04:26,237
early warning mechanisms,

2315
02:04:26,320 --> 02:04:29,917
optimizing humanitarian logistics,

2316
02:04:30,000 --> 02:04:31,917
and strengthening peacekeeping

2317
02:04:32,000 --> 02:04:34,077
operations.

2318
02:04:34,160 --> 02:04:39,197
Yet we observe with grave concern the

2319
02:04:39,280 --> 02:04:42,797
proliferation of AI enabled offensive

2320
02:04:42,880 --> 02:04:44,557
capabilities,

2321
02:04:44,640 --> 02:04:48,077
autonomous weapon systems and frontier

2322
02:04:48,160 --> 02:04:52,237
models exhibiting unpredictable

2323
02:04:52,320 --> 02:04:55,277
emergent behaviors.

2324
02:04:55,360 --> 02:04:59,037
Rapid advances toward artificial general

2325
02:04:59,120 --> 02:05:00,557
intelligence

2326
02:05:00,640 --> 02:05:05,277
and highly autonomous systems underscore

2327
02:05:05,360 --> 02:05:08,077
that frontier risks are no longer

2328
02:05:08,160 --> 02:05:11,757
abstract theoretical possibilities.

2329
02:05:11,840 --> 02:05:14,157
They are truly

2330
02:05:14,240 --> 02:05:18,397
eminent policy realities.

2331
02:05:18,480 --> 02:05:21,677
The international comm community cannot

2332
02:05:21,760 --> 02:05:26,317
afford to wait for a systemic failure or

2333
02:05:26,400 --> 02:05:29,197
catastrophic miscalculation

2334
02:05:29,280 --> 02:05:31,677
before establishing collective

2335
02:05:31,760 --> 02:05:33,357
safeguards.

2336
02:05:33,440 --> 02:05:37,357
We must not allow the cost of today's

2337
02:05:37,440 --> 02:05:40,477
hesitation to become tomorrow's

2338
02:05:40,560 --> 02:05:45,197
catastrophe. Mr. President

2339
02:05:45,280 --> 02:05:47,277
Labbera believes the international

2340
02:05:47,360 --> 02:05:52,157
community must steer clear of two

2341
02:05:52,240 --> 02:05:56,717
equally hazardous extremes.

2342
02:05:56,800 --> 02:06:01,197
The first is suffocating overregulation

2343
02:06:01,280 --> 02:06:04,557
that stifles progress particularly for

2344
02:06:04,640 --> 02:06:07,597
developing nations that urgently need

2345
02:06:07,680 --> 02:06:12,477
access to AI tools to bolster education.

2346
02:06:12,560 --> 02:06:15,677
revolutionize health care delivery,

2347
02:06:15,760 --> 02:06:18,077
modernize agriculture

2348
02:06:18,160 --> 02:06:20,797
and accelerate the sustainable

2349
02:06:20,880 --> 02:06:24,637
development goals. The second is

2350
02:06:24,720 --> 02:06:27,597
dangerous complacency.

2351
02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:30,637
The naive assumption that transformative

2352
02:06:30,720 --> 02:06:36,157
technologies can safely self-regulate.

2353
02:06:36,240 --> 02:06:40,157
History offers no precedent for such a

2354
02:06:40,240 --> 02:06:41,917
faith.

2355
02:06:42,000 --> 02:06:45,357
Without verifiable safeguards,

2356
02:06:45,440 --> 02:06:49,117
transparency and clear liability,

2357
02:06:49,200 --> 02:06:53,037
unregulated capabilities will generate

2358
02:06:53,120 --> 02:06:54,557
vulnerabilities

2359
02:06:54,640 --> 02:06:59,117
that respect no national border.

2360
02:06:59,200 --> 02:07:03,757
Our path is not a binary choice between

2361
02:07:03,840 --> 02:07:07,677
innovation and regulation.

2362
02:07:07,760 --> 02:07:11,597
The imperative before us is to ensure

2363
02:07:11,680 --> 02:07:14,237
that technological innovation and

2364
02:07:14,320 --> 02:07:17,997
multilateral governance advance

2365
02:07:18,080 --> 02:07:23,517
hand in hand. We must regulate with

2366
02:07:23,600 --> 02:07:29,757
wisdom and innovate with responsibility.

2367
02:07:29,840 --> 02:07:31,757
For Liberia,

2368
02:07:31,840 --> 02:07:36,557
four operational pillars are paramount.

2369
02:07:36,640 --> 02:07:38,557
One,

2370
02:07:38,640 --> 02:07:42,157
safety by design

2371
02:07:42,240 --> 02:07:45,357
responsibility must begin at the

2372
02:07:45,440 --> 02:07:47,997
architecture phase.

2373
02:07:48,080 --> 02:07:51,597
Rigorous risk mitigation, cyber security

2374
02:07:51,680 --> 02:07:55,357
resilience and fail safe controls must

2375
02:07:55,440 --> 02:07:59,117
be embedded across the entire life cycle

2376
02:07:59,200 --> 02:08:02,637
from pre-training to public deployment

2377
02:08:02,720 --> 02:08:05,117
rather than improvised

2378
02:08:05,200 --> 02:08:07,917
post crisis.

2379
02:08:08,000 --> 02:08:11,837
Two, upholding international law and

2380
02:08:11,920 --> 02:08:14,157
human agency.

2381
02:08:14,240 --> 02:08:16,717
Decisions involving the use of lethal

2382
02:08:16,800 --> 02:08:19,917
force, the deprivation of human life,

2383
02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:22,557
and the escalation of conflict must

2384
02:08:22,640 --> 02:08:25,997
never be abdicated to autonomous

2385
02:08:26,080 --> 02:08:29,917
algorithms. Meaningful human control and

2386
02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:31,517
accountability

2387
02:08:31,600 --> 02:08:34,637
remain the non-negotiable bedrock of

2388
02:08:34,720 --> 02:08:37,917
international humanitarian law and the

2389
02:08:38,000 --> 02:08:40,477
human dignity.

2390
02:08:40,560 --> 02:08:43,357
Collaborative confidence building.

2391
02:08:43,440 --> 02:08:45,517
Three,

2392
02:08:45,600 --> 02:08:47,917
multilateral

2393
02:08:48,000 --> 02:08:51,597
cooperation must foster trust without

2394
02:08:51,680 --> 02:08:54,957
impeding scientific inquiry.

2395
02:08:55,040 --> 02:08:57,757
Harmonized safety benchmarks,

2396
02:08:57,840 --> 02:09:00,637
coordinated threat disclosures, and

2397
02:09:00,720 --> 02:09:03,757
transparent red teameing protocols

2398
02:09:03,840 --> 02:09:07,437
between states, industry leaders, and

2399
02:09:07,520 --> 02:09:11,117
independent scientists are essential to

2400
02:09:11,200 --> 02:09:14,557
mitigate strategic mistrust.

2401
02:09:14,640 --> 02:09:18,477
And four, independent verifiable

2402
02:09:18,560 --> 02:09:20,717
oversight.

2403
02:09:20,800 --> 02:09:25,037
Norms without verification are

2404
02:09:25,120 --> 02:09:27,117
insufficient.

2405
02:09:27,200 --> 02:09:30,957
We require credible auditing frameworks,

2406
02:09:31,040 --> 02:09:33,997
robust red teaming standards and

2407
02:09:34,080 --> 02:09:36,637
independent technical evaluation to

2408
02:09:36,720 --> 02:09:39,997
ensure that corporate and state

2409
02:09:40,080 --> 02:09:43,757
commitments translate into measurable

2410
02:09:43,840 --> 02:09:48,120
safety for mankind.

2411
02:09:48,480 --> 02:09:51,677
Furthermore, Mr. President,

2412
02:09:51,760 --> 02:09:55,117
global governance cannot become an

2413
02:09:55,200 --> 02:09:57,517
exclusive enclave

2414
02:09:57,600 --> 02:10:00,077
reserved for the few nations that

2415
02:10:00,160 --> 02:10:04,477
control advanced compute and capital.

2416
02:10:04,560 --> 02:10:08,157
Africa and the global south cannot be

2417
02:10:08,240 --> 02:10:11,837
treated merely as data extractors or

2418
02:10:11,920 --> 02:10:16,397
downstream end users. We must be equal

2419
02:10:16,480 --> 02:10:19,677
co-architects in determining the

2420
02:10:19,760 --> 02:10:21,197
standards,

2421
02:10:21,280 --> 02:10:24,957
ethics and architectures of this

2422
02:10:25,040 --> 02:10:29,320
technological era.

2423
02:10:30,000 --> 02:10:33,037
In this regard, Labber welcomes the

2424
02:10:33,120 --> 02:10:35,437
landmark initiatives advanced through

2425
02:10:35,520 --> 02:10:38,717
the Global Digital Compact, notably the

2426
02:10:38,800 --> 02:10:42,317
Global Dialogue on AI governance and the

2427
02:10:42,400 --> 02:10:47,517
independent international
scientific panel on AI.

2428
02:10:47,600 --> 02:10:49,037
However,

2429
02:10:49,120 --> 02:10:51,037
complimentary efforts in the General

2430
02:10:51,120 --> 02:10:54,797
Assembly do not absolve this council of

2431
02:10:54,880 --> 02:10:57,757
its specific duty.

2432
02:10:57,840 --> 02:11:00,477
When advanced computing intersects with

2433
02:11:00,560 --> 02:11:03,517
cyber operations against civilian

2434
02:11:03,600 --> 02:11:05,037
infrastructure,

2435
02:11:05,120 --> 02:11:08,237
autonomous weaponized systems and

2436
02:11:08,320 --> 02:11:12,157
geostrategic competition, it intersects

2437
02:11:12,240 --> 02:11:15,677
directly with international security.

2438
02:11:15,760 --> 02:11:19,917
Council engagement is not duplication.

2439
02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:23,357
It is conflict prevention.

2440
02:11:23,440 --> 02:11:24,877
Liberia

2441
02:11:24,960 --> 02:11:28,717
therefore lends it strong support to the

2442
02:11:28,800 --> 02:11:31,197
establishment of a dedicated security

2443
02:11:31,280 --> 02:11:34,077
council informal working group on

2444
02:11:34,160 --> 02:11:36,957
artificial intelligence and emerging

2445
02:11:37,040 --> 02:11:40,557
technologies tasked with monitoring the

2446
02:11:40,640 --> 02:11:43,677
crosscutting security implications of

2447
02:11:43,760 --> 02:11:47,597
these capabilities across both thematic

2448
02:11:47,680 --> 02:11:51,197
and country specific agendas. To

2449
02:11:51,280 --> 02:11:54,557
conclude, Mr. President,

2450
02:11:54,640 --> 02:11:57,837
let us act with the foresight and

2451
02:11:57,920 --> 02:12:01,997
urgency demanded of this moment,

2452
02:12:02,080 --> 02:12:06,157
ensuring that the most
powerful technological

2453
02:12:06,240 --> 02:12:08,477
transition since the industrial

2454
02:12:08,560 --> 02:12:12,237
revolution serves as an enduring engine

2455
02:12:12,320 --> 02:12:15,997
for shared prosperity and a pillar of

2456
02:12:16,080 --> 02:12:20,397
international peace and security rather

2457
02:12:20,480 --> 02:12:21,997
than an opportunity.

2458
02:12:22,080 --> 02:12:25,117
for further division, fraction of our

2459
02:12:25,200 --> 02:12:29,197
world and insecurity.

2460
02:12:29,280 --> 02:12:33,197
I thank you for your kind attention.

2461
02:12:33,280 --> 02:12:38,077
>> I thank the permanent representative
of Liberia for his statement. There are no

2462
02:12:38,160 --> 02:12:42,157
more names inscribed on the list
of speakers. I would like to thank the

2463
02:12:42,240 --> 02:12:47,640
speakers at this Security Council
meeting. The meeting is adjourned.

2464
02:15:36,880 --> 02:15:41,400
Hi. Hi.

2465
02:15:54,160 --> 02:15:57,280
This is

2466
02:16:06,240 --> 02:16:09,240
iPhone.

2467
02:16:51,920 --> 02:16:55,720
I had to send that.

2468
02:17:08,960 --> 02:17:12,237
The 10,227th meeting
of the security council is

2469
02:17:12,320 --> 02:17:14,237
resumed.

2470
02:17:14,320 --> 02:17:19,277
I now give the floor to his excellency,
Mr. Antonio Tajani, Deputy Prime

2471
02:17:19,360 --> 02:17:25,120
Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs
and International Cooperation of Italy.

2472
02:17:26,160 --> 02:17:30,077
Five years after the beginning of the
Russian aggression against Ukraine, the

2473
02:17:30,160 --> 02:17:32,397
position of Italian government led by

2474
02:17:32,480 --> 02:17:35,117
Prime Minister George Maloney is clear.

2475
02:17:35,200 --> 02:17:37,277
We stand with Ukraine and his brave

2476
02:17:37,360 --> 02:17:41,037
people that are resisting an an

2477
02:17:41,120 --> 02:17:46,237
injustice war. Our goal is a just
and lasting peace. We strongly condemn the

2478
02:17:46,320 --> 02:17:50,077
Russian attacks against civilian
and energy infrastructures in Ukraine. The

2479
02:17:50,160 --> 02:17:54,797
increasing debris threats by Russia are
putting European security in danger. We

2480
02:17:54,880 --> 02:17:56,877
expect that our solidarity to Germany

2481
02:17:56,960 --> 02:18:00,317
from the incidents at leaping airport

2482
02:18:00,400 --> 02:18:03,357
Europe will be remain

2483
02:18:03,440 --> 02:18:06,717
united. It's key to avoid an escalation

2484
02:18:06,800 --> 02:18:08,957
and we want to be very clear. Italy is

2485
02:18:09,040 --> 02:18:12,077
not at war with the Russian Federation.

2486
02:18:12,160 --> 02:18:15,837
Mr. President, >> Mr.
President Moscow will always find

2487
02:18:15,920 --> 02:18:19,517
Italy ready to support dialogue and
the pursuit of diplomatic solutions. But

2488
02:18:19,600 --> 02:18:21,277
Russia as a permanent member of this

2489
02:18:21,360 --> 02:18:24,397
council has a responsibility that cannot

2490
02:18:24,480 --> 02:18:28,720
be ignored. The time has come for
