By Zoila Palma: Prime Minister John Briceño has warned that while artificial intelligence (AI) could expand access to knowledge and improve public services if properly governed, poor governance could deepen inequality, expose critical systems, displace workers and leave developing countries dependent on technologies and rules designed elsewhere.
Briceño made the remarks during the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, where developing countries called for a greater role in shaping the global rules governing AI.
The debate highlighted concerns among leaders from Africa, Asia and Latin America that AI development and regulation could remain concentrated in wealthy countries, leaving developing nations primarily as users of technologies created elsewhere.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres similarly called for developing countries to have an equal voice in addressing AI risks, comparing the issue to the global response to climate change.
He said AI has advanced at a speed that has surprised even some of its creators and called for coordinated international action rather than isolated national responses.
