THE general assembly of the United Nations has adopted a Chinese-sponsored and US-backed resolution urging wealthy nations to close the widening gap with developing countries in access to the benefits of artificial intelligence (AI).

Approved on Monday, the resolution follows the March 21 adoption of the first UN resolution on AI spearheaded by the United States and co-sponsored by 123 countries including China.

It gave global support to the international effort to ensure that AI is “safe, secure and trustworthy” and that all nations can take advantage of it.
