Hey there! Big news from the United Nations 🌐! China's permanent representative to the UN, Ambassador Fu Cong, just introduced a groundbreaking resolution on artificial intelligence (AI) 🤖 at the 78th session of the UN General Assembly.
So, what's the buzz about? This resolution, co-sponsored by over 140 countries and adopted unanimously (that's right, everyone agreed! 🎉), focuses on boosting international cooperation to help countries—especially developing ones—build up their AI capabilities. The goal? Make sure everyone can access, use, and benefit from AI technology.
\"Many UN member states are eager to strengthen cooperation on AI,\" Fu Cong said. \"We want to bridge the digital divide and ensure that AI development is inclusive and sustainable.\"
The resolution is all about practical steps to level the playing field in AI. It encourages an open, fair, and non-discriminatory business environment and backs the UN in taking a central role in global AI governance.
Why does this matter? 🤔 Well, as AI rapidly changes our world, not all countries have the same access to these technologies. This initiative aims to change that by promoting equality and innovation, helping developing countries leap forward.
Ambassador Fu emphasized China's commitment to using AI for the common good. \"We aim to contribute to building a community with a shared future for humanity,\" he said.
Pretty inspiring stuff, right? 🌟 This move could be a big step toward a more connected and technologically advanced global community.
