The UN is actively developing AI policy, focusing on ethical, human rights-based, and mandate-led approaches, with the UN Secretary-General promoting proactive AI adoption across the UN system to support innovation and address potential harms.
The UN system is committed to taking a proactive, ethical, human rights-based and mandate-led approach to adopting AI internally in its work. Under the vision outlined in the UN 2.0 Policy Brief, the Secretary-General is promoting a proactive approach for UN system organizations to use new technologies, such as AI, to support all steps of the innovation process, to address gender inequality, discrimination and bias in artificial intelligence data models, and to invest in predictive and prescriptive analytics, enhanced with machine learning and artificial intelligence.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres addresses the profound impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on global peace and security. Highlighting the rapid advancements of AI, Guterres emphasizes both its potential and the significant risks it poses. AI is revolutionizing various sectors, from detecting food insecurity and predicting displacement due to climate change, to even identifying patterns of unrest before violence erupts.
However, Guterres warns that the rapid development of AI is outpacing our ability to govern it, leading to serious concerns about accountability, human rights, and the future of international security. The Secretary-General stresses that without human oversight, AI could destabilize global peace, particularly in military applications and cyberattacks. He specifically calls attention to the integration of AI with nuclear weapons, a development he deems alarmingly dangerous.
Further, Guterres highlights the increasing challenges posed by AI in the form of misinformation, deep fakes, and the environmental impact of AI data centers.
