AI Must Operate Within International Rules, Czech President Says
Petr Pavel warned that artificial intelligence could cause serious harm without effective safeguards, even as it offers major benefits.
Czech President Petr Pavel said artificial intelligence must be developed within a framework of international rules, warning that the technology could cause significant harm without effective safeguards in place.
"AI can bring enormous benefits to humanity, but without effective safeguards, it can also cause immense harm," Pavel said, according to a report from Anadolu Agency.
Call for international cooperation
Pavel's comments add to a growing chorus of world leaders and officials calling for coordinated international governance of artificial intelligence as the technology continues to advance rapidly across sectors including business, defense and communications.
The remarks did not specify a particular proposal or forum through which such international rules might be developed, though they align with broader ongoing discussions among global leaders about how to balance AI innovation with safety and oversight.
It remains unclear what specific next steps, if any, the Czech Republic or international bodies plan to take following Pavel's comments.
