The Deputy Prime Minister today (22 Sep) spoke at the General Assembly’s annual general debate.

On Artificial intelligence, the British diplomat said, “the AI revolution will be a bracing test for the multilateral system, to show that it can work together on a question that will define the fate of humanity, our future, humanity's future, our entire planet's future depends on our ability to do so.”

He also said, “Artificial intelligence, the biggest transformation the world has known. Our task as governments is to understand it, grasp it and seek to govern it, and we must do so at speed.”

Deputy Prime Minister Dowden underscored, “we recognize that while of course every nation will wish to protect its own interests and strategic advantage, the most important actions we take will be international.”

He continued, “In fact, because tech companies and non-state actors often have countryside influence and prominence in AI. This challenge requires a new form of multilateralism because it is only by working together that we will make AI safe for everyone.”

The UK will host an AI Summit in November this year.
