António Guterres Instagram – Raging wars. Geopolitical divides. An epidemic of impunity. Cynicism and a crisis of trust.
Deep global divisions are an obstacle to progress on two existential threats.
First, the climate emergency.
Our climate is breaking down, threatening water and food security, driving displacement, and fueling political instability.
We need far greater ambition to slash emissions and deliver climate justice, starting with the biggest emitters.
The second threat is posed by digital technologies.
Artificial Intelligence is racing ahead of regulation, exacerbating power imbalances, further concentrating wealth, and undermining human rights.
We urgently need the full engagement of governments, working with tech companies, academia and civil society, to agree on risk management frameworks for AI – and on monitoring and mitigating harms.
Multilateralism is falling behind. We must avoid the risk of further fragmentation at all cost. | Posted on 04/Jul/2024 20:18:40
