| UN seeks ban on artificial intelligence without safeguards |
| 2021-09-16 |
| [NATION.PK] The UN Human Rights chief Wednesday said that a ban on the sale and use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems that pose a severe risk to human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... is urgently needed until sufficient safeguards are in place. Michelle Bachelet released a report titled "The right to privacy in the digital age" that she will also present at the 48th UN Human Rights Council session on Sept. 22. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights also called for AI applications that do not comply with international human rights law to be banned. "Given the rapid and continuous growth of AI, filling the immense accountability gap in how data is collected, stored, shared, and used is one of the most urgent human rights questions we face," Bachelet said. "Artificial intelligence can be a force for good, helping societies overcome some of the great challenges of our times." She warned, however, "AI technologies can have negative, even catastrophic, effects if they are used without sufficient regard to how they affect people's human rights." |

| #7 The UN is afraid of there being unregulated intelligence running around loose out there. Artificial doesn't seem to bother them. |

| #6 If the UN wants to ban AI, it must be a good thing. Or, they're afraid of being replaced by a computer. |

| #1 Doesn't the UN also have a ban on bio-weapon research? A lot good that did in Wuhan. |
