UNITED NATIONS:

Warning against the dangers of unregulated artificial intelligence (AI), Pakistan has emphasized that its use, especially military applications, must be "fully" governed by the UN Charter and international law.

"AI must not become, a tool of coercion, or technological monopoly," Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif told the UN Security Council on Wednesday."

Applications, without meaningful human control, should be prohibited," he said in a high-level debate on artificial intelligence (AI) under the agenda item "Maintenance of international peace and security".

The meeting was chaired by President Lee Jae Myung of South Korea.
