Grossi said: "I am not a supporter of what some call managing artificial intelligence. The algorithmic system is extremely complex, and it is impossible to keep track of what is happening in Russia, China, and the United States. So how can all of that be put into one framework and claimed to be managing it?"
The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency added that a practical approach based on a set of common standards is needed.
He concluded by saying: "It is also important to cooperate with companies. Just as we work with the Russian company Rosatom, we should cooperate with companies that are leading the way in technological development, in order to provide a minimum level of guarantees. In general, I am optimistic about artificial intelligence."
In a related context, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on Monday for a comprehensive global system to regulate artificial intelligence, warning that increasingly powerful technologies, originally developed for civilian purposes, are beginning to be used on battlefields, where "killer robots" are becoming a reality.
In a speech delivered at the opening of the " UN Global Dialogue on AI Governance" in Geneva, Guterres stressed the need to ensure that technology reaches the billions of people who are still being denied the benefits of the digital revolution.
He stressed that any future international agreement must "have the confidence of the entire world" and place human safety, especially that of children, at the forefront of its priorities, while protecting them from manipulation and abuses associated with the use of digital technologies.
