00:00The United Nations is calling for urgent action to regulate artificial intelligence,
00:04warning that the rapid development of increasingly powerful systems
00:07could pose serious risks to humanity and future generations.
00:11UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Walker Turk,
00:14urged governments and technology companies to act through multilateral mechanisms
00:18to establish safeguards for the rapidly evolving technology.
00:22Turk warned that all human rights could be threatened by advanced AI,
00:27including the right to life, as these systems acquire increasingly powerful capabilities.
00:31He also criticised the concentration of decision-making in the hands of a small number of powerful technology companies.
00:37The UN official said the world is approaching a potentially irreversible turning point,
00:42making international regulation increasingly urgent.
00:49AI harms are not hypothetical.
00:52They are already occurring front and centre.
00:56Failures involving agentic AI systems, let alone systems deliberately so designed,
01:03could bring essential services to a standstill,
01:06fracture communications, destabilise critical infrastructure,
01:11and strike at the very heart of democratic institutions.
01:15Entire populations could be cut off from clean water, heating and financial services.
01:21We need urgent action that is adapted to the unprecedented risks posed by Frontier AI.
01:28I call on states and companies to mobilise urgently, through multilateral fora,
01:35to chart a path for action, to govern advanced Frontier AI models grounded in international human rights law.
01:42The companies that are at the forefront of developing Frontier AI have both the responsibility
01:49and the ability to move immediately to reduce risks.
01:53Let us know that it will be wareeffer thanもし.
01:53And remember that every Side ofroad is sitting in a chair of seul fluids,
