UN Panel Warns AI Safeguards Cannot Wait for Full Certainty on Risks
The assessment cites an OpenAI-related hack of Hugging Face and urges governments to act before AI risks are fully understood, The Verge reported.
A United Nations scientific panel warned that governments need to rein in increasingly capable AI agents before their risks are fully understood, according to The Verge.
The warning came in the UN's first major assessment of an OpenAI-related hack of Hugging Face earlier this year, The Verge reported.
The report adds to AI's place on the global diplomatic agenda this week as leaders gather in New York, according to the outlet.
