UN Security Council AI 'Same Bed, Different Dreams'...Korea vs. China vs. Russia in fierce competition

[Anchor]
The issue of establishing international safeguards against artificial intelligence was discussed at the U.N. Security Council, but the confrontation between the camps was fierce here as well.

South Korea and the U.S. indirectly criticized North Korea, China, and Russia for abusing AI for distortion of public opinion, while China and Russia targeted the U.S., saying AI should not be monopolized.

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres stressed at the Security Council the need for international safeguards to manage the rapid development of artificial intelligence and AI.

Regarding AI abuse, the four blame battles continued, as fierce as the diplomatic war in Ukraine.

[Secretary of State Tony Blinken / U.S. Secretary of State: National and non-state actors are increasingly influencing and distorting public opinion and manipulating geopolitical information through AI.]

The remarks are aimed at Russia as well as China at a time when the U.S.-China conflict has intensified after a Chinese man accused of running a secret Chinese police station in New York pleaded guilty.

South Korea pointed out that North Korea is exploiting AI to raise funds to create weapons of mass destruction.

[Hwang Joon-guk / UN Ambassador: If irresponsible actors like North Korea, who are robbing cryptocurrency, use AI, a high level of cyberattacks will occur]

Russia hit back, saying the U.S. is trying to dominate other countries through AI.

[Vasily Nevenza / Russian Ambassador to the United Nations] In Putin's words, the only rule in the current U.S.-centered world order is that there are no rules.]

China indirectly criticized the United States and South Korea, saying AI should not be monopolized to a small number of countries.

[Puchong / Chinese Ambassador to the United Nations: China firmly opposes imposing rules established by minority countries on other countries or creating small groups targeting certain countries]

Although the UN Security Council generally agreed to ban AI weapons, it has been confirmed that only Korea, the U.S., Japan and China differ significantly in creating AI-related rules and systems.
