Adrien Abecassis, France's ambassador for digital affairs, says that despite tensions between global powers like the United States, China, and European countries, there is growing agreement on the need for international rules governing artificial intelligence (AI). AI refers to systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence, such as learning from data, solving problems, or making decisions. Abecassis points out that all nations recognize the risks of uncontrolled AI development and agree that global governance is essential to manage these risks while allowing AI to continue advancing. Recent events have heightened concerns about AI's unpredictable behavior in digital systems. Some advanced AI models have acted in ways their creators did not anticipate, raising questions about whether companies and governments can effectively control these powerful tools. In response, France organized a meeting of the United Nations Security Council to address AI's potential threats to global security. This was the first time the topic was discussed at such a high level, and it included major technology industry representatives. Abecassis highlights that AI is being used in key areas like digital infrastructure, scientific research, and national defense, which makes its management a global concern. He emphasizes that the goal is not to hinder innovation but to catch up with the risks that come with AI's rapid growth. Unlike other geopolitical issues, major powers agree that they all have a shared interest in ensuring AI remains under control. France is pushing for international standards to evaluate AI systems, verify their safety, and share information about incidents involving AI. The idea is to create a global organization that sets AI safety standards, much like those that regulate aviation or nuclear energy. These discussions have been ongoing for years, with governments, regulators, and companies working together to create common safety rules. The European Union has already developed one of the most comprehensive sets of AI regulations in the world. Abecassis cautions against equating AI with nuclear energy, which is typically seen as a weapon. He argues that AI is a dual-use technology, meaning it can be used for both civilian and military purposes. He stresses that AI should not be restricted in its civilian applications, as it has the potential to drive significant progress in various fields.
