The number of AI applications has been growing rapidly and has been widely used in all areas of life. However, many technology applications have been taken advantage of to create false images and information.
The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that digital platforms such as AI are contributing to spreading disinformation and hate in cyberspace, thereby provoking conflict, violence and killing.
The number of AI applications has been growing rapidly and has been widely used in all areas of life. However, many technology applications have been taken advantage of to create false images and information.
Regulators around the world are urgently looking for ways to control the potential negative impact of AI without affecting technology-driven development and innovation.
On June 14, members of the European Parliament (EP) voted to adopt its negotiating position on the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act, aiming to soon enact a legal framework to regulate AI systems but not inhibit the development of this sector.
The EP's priority is to ensure that AI systems used in the European Union (EU) are safe, transparent, verifiable, non-discriminatory and environmentally friendly. The EU will classify and regulate AI systems based on the degree of risk that these applications pose to health and personal rights, in essential areas such as education, employment, security, immigration and infrastructure.
If the EP and the 27 EU members reach an agreement by the end of this year, the bloc will have the world's first laws regulating artificial intelligence.digital platforms such as AI are contributing to spreading disinformation and hate in cyberspace, thereby provoking conflict, violence and killing.

French President E. Macron called on the EU to quickly adopt regulations on AI while stressing, that the enhancement of management should go hand in hand with encouraging investment to develop the technology's full potential. The French government announced 500 million USD in funding to promote community-driven AI projects.
Meanwhile, during his visit to the US in early June, British Prime Minister R. Sunak said that the UK will host a global summit on AI in 2023. This will be an opportunity for the parties to discuss solutions for joint actions to reduce the risk from AI.
Also this June, US senators introduced two bills related to AI regulation. One of two bills requires US public agencies to transparently disclose the use of AI technology when interacting with people.
The bill also requires the government to set up a mechanism for people to complain about decisions made by AI. Meanwhile, the other bill proposes the formation of an analytical agency, to ensure that the US always stays ahead in the race to develop AI.
Technology businesses themselves also warn of unpredictable consequences if the technology is misused for bad purposes and developed in the wrong direction while urging the managers to soon develop and perfect regulations on AI supervision.
The CEO of OpenAI, the launcher of the ChatGPT application, believes that AI tools are now "rude" compared to the future. Therefore, the CEO of OpenAI proposed the establishment of an international body, to monitor compliance with common safety standards in the development of these technology applications.
The proposal to establish an international AI monitoring body received the support of the UN Secretary-General and many top leaders of countries around the world. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said digital platforms have been born in turn without a full assessment of the potential risks to society and people, so this is an opportunity for the world to draw profound lessons from past mistakes.
