External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar urged Global South countries not to allow artificial intelligence (AI) to create divisions during a high-level meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. The minister's comments came amid a growing debate on AI’s trajectory, with tech leaders like OpenAI’s Sam Altman clashing over the pace and regulations surrounding its development.
Jaishankar emphasized the need for greater cooperation among Global South nations to tackle increasing geopolitical tensions, economic challenges, climate shocks, and pressures on the multilateral system. He highlighted the importance of ensuring energy and food security, fair economic practices, and the security of maritime commons.
Jaishankar stressed that AI's transformation should not lead to new divides and that the Global South must participate in decision-making structures concerning issues directly impacting their future.
