United Nations News reports on Secretary-General António Guterres’ renewed call for a unified international framework to govern artificial intelligence. In a statement delivered in early April 2025, Guterres warned that unregulated AI development could exacerbate inequality, fuel misinformation, and undermine global peace and security.

He urged nations to commit to a global code of conduct, emphasizing transparency, accountability, and human rights protections. The statement followed mounting concerns about militarization of AI, deepfakes, and systemic bias in algorithms used across borders.

The UN intends to convene new multilateral talks, seeking to align ethical principles and legal standards across jurisdictions.
