Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called on world leaders to come together and tackle the risks of artificial intelligence. Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, Albanese emphasized the need for international cooperation in regulating the technology. He highlighted the importance of AUKUS in strengthening ties between Australia and the United Kingdom.
Albanese argued that while AI has the potential for great good, it requires human control to prevent potential dangers such as child exploitation, biological weapons, and rogue AI incidents. He also praised Australia's social media age ban, noting that more than 20 countries are considering similar laws. Albanese stressed that the choices made by leaders will determine the future of AI, urging them to learn from past mistakes and shape the technology in the interests of humanity.
