UN Secretary-General António Guterres said that artificial intelligence is developing faster than the rules that can keep up with it, warning that it is impossible to predict its consequences. Speaking at a UN global dialogue in Geneva, he called for urgent action, citing that the current pace of development could outstrip the ability to regulate it. Guterres noted that there is a need for rules and that it is not a matter of whether AI will be used, but how it will be used.
