- AI leadership is essential for global stability, according to António Guterres, who believes the United Nations is uniquely positioned to lead this charge. In an exclusive GZERO World interview, Guterres outlined the critical need for international cooperation in managing the rapid advancement of AI technologies.
- He highlighted the importance of ethical guidelines and global policies to prevent the misuse of AI, advocating that the UN take the lead in establishing a unified approach. Without this, Guterres warns, AI’s rapid growth could destabilize economies and societies.
AI leadership has emerged as the key focus of global governance and as the Secretary-General of the UN, António Guterres believes that the United Nations has to be more involved in influencing how artificial intelligence is developed and used. Speaking in an explosive interview with GZERO World, Guterres was clear that the challenges posed by AI are so daunting that the UN was built to respond to them.
Considering this development Guterres emphasized that it cannot be gainsaid that technological advancement, especially in the case of AI, trends towards hyperreality, and offers great expectations for many industries, be it beneficial changes within the health care system or climate change eradication efforts. There are however many pitfalls associated with these expectations. Without adequate control and legal framework, such technology can collapse markets, deepen disparities, and instigate war among other things. Economists therefore believe that the role of the United Nations in this technology follows on from this as it has to come up with such moral legitimacy rendering measures.
Guterres pointed out three areas in which according to him, the UN’s present and thrust for the future AI leadership could make an impact – ethical standards, working together, and prevention of crisis. He maintains that it is possible for the UN to lead on ethics regarding AI technologies by establishing framework documents that would encourage rule-based practices in AI development and usage. Institute a partnership among various nations so that none will be excluded in the competition towards the society of AI and that in the development of AI, even small economies will be beneficiaries. Moreover, Guterres cautioned that without prevention measures being put in place it is most likely that AI will increase tensions and conflicts such as via autonomous weapons and surveilling systems.
The need for AI leadership in the instance that Guterres argues and augments is provocative because of his stand on multilateralism. In his view, the concerns that surround AI technology cannot be resolved by one nation working alone. Global problems such as these, involving the widespread use of potentially dangerous technology, will only be managed by worldwide action based on a structure such as the United Nations.

According to Guterres, the idea of AI governance within the UN is indispensable, in that it will enable the development of a better and fairer world shaped by ‘nothing but’ artificial intelligence with ethical considerations, multilateral efforts, and precautionary actions taken.
