  3. “Momentous opportunities on a scale that we can barely imagine lie before us. We must seize these opportunities and grasp the challenges of AI — including those for international peace and security — decisively, optimistically and from a position of global unity on essential principles. “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads to fortune.” In that spirit, let us work together to ensure peace and security as we pass across the threshold of an unfamiliar world. I now resume my functions as President of the Council. I now call on the State Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan.”

  4. “Such institutions as the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence, the Group of Seven’s Hiroshima AI Process, the Council of Europe, and the International Telecommunication Union are all important partners. Pioneering AI companies will also need to work with us so we can capture the gains and minimize the risks to humanity. No country will be untouched by AI, so we must involve and engage the widest coalition of international actors from all sectors. The United Kingdom is home to many of the world’s trail-blazing AI developers and foremost AI safety researchers. That is why, this autumn, the United Kingdom plans to bring world leaders together for the first major global summit on AI safety. Our shared goal will be to consider the risks of AI and decide how they can be reduced through coordinated action.”

  5. “That is why we urgently need to shape the global governance of transformative technologies — because AI knows no borders. The United Kingdom’s vision is founded on four irreducible principles. It should be open — AI should support freedom and democracy. It should be responsible — AI should be consistent with the rule of law and human rights. It should be secure —AI should be safe and predictable by design, safeguarding property rights, privacy and national security. It should be resilient — AI should be trusted by the public, and critical systems must be protected. The United Kingdom’s approach builds on existing multilateral initiatives, such as the AI for Good Global Summit, in Geneva, or the work of UNESCO, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the Group of 20.”

  6. “AI could help us adapt to climate change, beat corruption, revolutionize education, deliver the Sustainable Development Goals and reduce violent conflict. But we are here today because AI will affect the work of the Council. It could enhance or disrupt global strategic stability. It challenges our fundamental assumptions about defence and deterrence. It poses moral questions about accountability for lethal decisions on the battlefield. There can already be no doubt that AI is changing the speed, scale and spread of disinformation, with hugely harmful consequences for democracy and stability. AI could aid the reckless quest for weapons of mass destruction by State and non-State actors alike. But it could also help us stop proliferation.”

  7. “I thank Mr. Yi Zeng for his briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of the United Kingdom. This is the first-ever discussion of artificial intelligence (AI) in the Security Council, and a historic meeting. Since the early development of artificial intelligence by pioneers such as Alan Turing and Christopher Strachey, the technology has advanced with ever greater speed. Yet the biggest AI-induced transformations are still to come. While their scale is impossible for us to comprehend fully, the gains for humankind will surely be immense. AI will fundamentally alter every aspect of human life. Groundbreaking discoveries in medicine may be just around the corner. The productivity boosts to our economies may be vast.”
