The United Nations secretary general on Monday warned that AI is developing faster than anyone can keep up, urging the need for globally harmonized rules to reduce potential risks - especially to children, Reuters said. "A technology that can reshape economies, transform the world of work, sway elections and tilt the balance of security is being deployed faster than anyone – including the people building it – can keep up," Antonio Guterres told delegates at the first-ever government-level global dialogue on AI in Geneva.
