Guterres said that the current AI has ungrasped potential for change, and if AI is used maliciously, it may lead to the destruction of trust in various institutions and the weakening of social cohesion. " For the above reasons, I have issued a call for a multi-stakeholder and multi-disciplinary global dialogue on the governance of artificial intelligence in order to maximize its benefits to mankind (all mankind) and to contain and reduce risks.

To this end, Guterres called for a multi-stakeholder and multi-disciplinary global dialogue on the governance of AI, so as to maximize the benefit of artificial intelligence to all mankind while containing the risks it may bring. The establishment of this high-level advisory body is the starting point to respond to the call.

According to reports, the AI Advisory body, which brings together 39 experts from the government, the private sector, the research community, civil society and academia, has global, gender-balanced and interdisciplinary characteristics. Current tasks include building a global scientific consensus on risks and challenges, helping to use AI to achieve sustainable development goals, and strengthening international cooperation in AI.

In addition, the agency will help coordinate existing and new AI governance initiatives, issue preliminary recommendations by the end of this year, and make final recommendations before future summits next summer. The agency will hold its first meeting on the 27th local time.
