Portugal among more than 50 countries at the UN calling for safer Artificial Intelligence – Technology

Portugal is among more than 50 countries that support a proposed UN General Assembly resolution, drafted by the United States, which defends safe Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems for sustainable development.

The North American ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, supported by 54 co-sponsors – including Portugal and the European Union -, defended in a statement released this Friday that AI “has enormous potential to shape economies, societies and the world for the better” and that these benefits should extend equally to all countries, with a focus on developing countries.

In this sense, the United States presented for consideration a resolution of the United Nations General Assembly that aims to articulate a shared approach to AI systems.
