UN Rights Chief Calls For Urgent Action To Rein In AI

UN rights chief Volker Turk called on countries and frontier artificial intelligence companies to act urgently to govern advanced AI models amid unprecedented risks.

Turk stated in a letter shared with media that the world is on the cusp of irreversible change and that the current race poses existential risks.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently urged companies to pace frontier AI development, a proposal publicly supported by xAI's Elon Musk and OpenAI's Sam Altman.
