United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has proposed creating a $3 billion global artificial intelligence fund.
He made this proposal at the AI Summit in India, which brought together a number of world leaders, The Independent reports .
In his opinion, the future of artificial intelligence «cannot be decided by a handful of countries or left to the discretion of a few billionaires.»
So Guterres called for the creation of such a fund to help developing countries also deploy data processing capacity and affordable computing infrastructure.
«Artificial intelligence should belong to everyone. Our goal is $3 billion. This is less than one percent of the annual revenue of one technology company,» he emphasized.
The UN Secretary-General warned that without such investments, certain countries risk being «left out of the AI era.»
Interestingly, a few years ago, the UN created an advisory body on AI governance, which, among others, included a Russian woman.
