Effective shared rules to ensure safety.
\n\nIn his delivery of Singapore's national statement at the UN General Assembly on Sep. 26, Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan urged the world to work together to develop safeguards for Artificial Intelligence (AI) models so that humans remain in control and accountable for AI.
\n\n"Let me give you an extreme thought experiment. Do you want the nuclear button to be in the hands of a human being or an AI? Think about that."
\n\nAI, which was mentioned several times at the UN General Assembly, is "arguably the most urgent frontier" for countries to formulate new rules and create new institutions.
\n\n"Its capability is advancing faster than our appreciation of its risks," Vivian said before giving examples of such risks.
\n\nThese include the loss of control over autonomous systems and the possibility of rogue actors using AI to create mass destruction or disruptions to society.
\n\nVivian said rigorous testing and evaluation of AI models are necessary before deployment. The world also needs clear limits on what autonomous systems can do and interventions when AI behaves in unintended ways.
\n\nUsing the analogy of driving a high-performance car, the use of AI also requires good "brakes"…
