UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres is calling for greater cooperation and transparency in addressing the risks posed by AI.

From the environmental toll to its impact on children to the dangers of AI weapons, he says there must be a reckoning when it comes to AI.

As AI reshapes how information is created and shared, strengthening information integrity has never been more urgent.

The UN Global Principles for Information Integrity offer a path forward.

Digital spaces where children & young people learn & grow are too often designed to exploit them - built to hold their attention & harvest their data.

And all of it is now supercharged by AI.

I urge governments, the tech sector & advertisers to put children's rights before profit & to protect them without shutting them out.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

Developing countries bring enormous assets to the age of AI.

Talent. Ideas. Young, dynamic populations.

Every country should be able to shape this technology to its own needs with its own skills, its own data and in its own languages.

Technology must be built with, and for, developing countries.

[UN OICT @UN_OICT]

Advancing digital transformation and climate action must go hand in hand.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

AI must be used to help solve the climate crisis — not deepen it.

Its appetite for electricity, water & land is growing fast.

AI companies must power data centres with renewable energy by 2030 & disclose their environmental footprint.

Technology aimed at protecting people must also protect the planet.
