The resolution approved this week follows the March 21 adoption of the first U.N. resolution on artificial intelligence spearheaded by the United States and co-sponsored by 123 countries including China. It gave global support to the international effort to ensure that AI is "safe, secure and trustworthy” and that all nations can take advantage of it.
Adoption of the two nonbinding resolutions shows that the United States and China, rivals in many areas, are both determined to be key players in shaping the future of the powerful new technology — and have been cooperating on the first important international steps.
The adoption of both resolutions by consensus by the 193-member General Assembly shows widespread global support for their leadership on the issue.
Fu Cong, China’s U.N. ambassador, told reporters that the two resolutions are complementary, with the U.S. measure being “more general” and the just-adopted one focusing on “capacity building.”
He called the Chinese resolution, which had more than 140 sponsors, “great and farreaching,” and said, “We’re very appreciative of the positive role that the U.S. has played in this whole process.”
Nate Evans, spokesperson for the U.S. mission to the United Nations, said that the Chinesesponsored resolution “was negotiated so it would further the vision and approach the U.S. set out in March.”
