The United Nations issued a statement advocating for the development of inclusive and sustainable artificial intelligence technologies that prioritize the well-being of people and the planet. The declaration calls on governments, corporations, and developers to adopt ethical principles that guide AI innovation towards serving humanity while minimizing environmental impacts.

The statement highlights key concerns, including the potential for AI systems to exacerbate social inequalities, contribute to environmental degradation, and perpetuate bias if left unchecked. The UN urges the creation of global frameworks that promote transparency, fairness, and sustainability in AI development.

Legal experts support the UN’s call, emphasizing the need for binding international agreements to ensure that AI technologies respect human rights, support inclusive growth, and contribute to global sustainability goals.
