United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday announced the creation of a 39-member advisory body to address issues in the international governance of artificial intelligence.
Members include tech company executives, government officials, and academics from different countries.
Representatives come from six continents with diverse backgrounds.
"The transformative potential of AI for good is difficult even to grasp," Guterres said in a statement.
"And without entering into a host of doomsday scenarios, it is already clear that the malicious use of AI could undermine trust in institutions, weaken social cohesion and threaten democracy itself," he said.
