Costa calls for a "safe" pace in the advancement of AI: "We need it to serve humanity, not to control it."

During the United Nations General Assembly, European Council President António Costa called for a safe, regulated pace in the development of artificial intelligence. Addressing the international body, Costa emphasized that artificial intelligence must remain at the service of humanity rather than exerting control over it.

In his address, Costa urged that nations and the United Nations itself must assume a central role in regulating the technology. He specifically advocated for governments rather than private corporations to maintain control over artificial intelligence development.
