In what comes as another attention-grabbing phenomenon within the AI landscape, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) recently embraced a global accord on AI, showcasing efforts to bring about this newly emerging technology’s seamless and secure functioning. Aligning with the dynamic global tech landscape, as AI continues to push the boundaries of organizations, this pivotal move by the main policy-making organ of the UN promptly nabbed significant attention.
Backed by more than 120 other Member States, a draft resolution led by the United States, without a vote, underscored the respect, protection, and promotion of human rights in the design, development, deployment, and use of AI. As society continues to hurtle towards a future prominently dominated by technology, AI-related advancements, as mentioned above, continue to stand out, particularly groundbreaking.
According to a UN report, the Assembly beckoned all Member States and stakeholders “to refrain from or cease the use of artificial intelligence systems that are impossible to operate in compliance with international human rights law or that pose undue risks to the enjoyment of human rights.” To this, the Assembly added that it remains crucial to protect the same rights people have offline, online as well.
This measure is not just for the moment but throughout the generation of artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, the Assembly also impelled all member states, the private sector, civil society, research organizations, and the media sector to promote the development and backing of secure and reliable AI regulations.

Intriguingly, the United States-led resolution draft was initially spotlighted by Linda Thomas-Greenfield, U.S. Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the UN. She appears to have voiced optimism surrounding the resolution’s collaborative and constructive dialogue, facilitating it as a blueprint for acknowledging vital challenges emerging with AI in various sectors.
Simultaneously, the U.S. Ambassador underscored the chances and obligations of global communities to oversee this newly emerging technology rather than letting it overpower humans. “Let us commit to closing the digital gap within and between nations and using this technology to advance shared priorities around sustainable development,” she added.
