The U.N. General Assembly has adopted a Chinese-sponsored resolution urging wealthy and developed nations to close the widening gap with poorer developing countries and ensure they have equal opportunities to use and benefit from artificial intelligence.
I get that countries should work together in this field but I doubt this will have the positive effect people are hoping for. This aims to speed up AI research even more so our (the people’s) control of it grows even thinner.
China wants a piece of the cake through this resolution because their homegrown efforts in regenerative AI have been quite fruitless so far despite their many claims of being a top player in recent years. But it’s an autocratic surveillance state with tons of data.
So what‘s going to happen is that they‘ll give more access to their massive datasets in exchange for being more involved into the development process of the real big players in the USA. They‘ll then use it to build an even tighter surveillance apparatus together and suppress people even more in china, the US and globally.
