  "bluf": "UN General Assembly Resolution 78/265 was adopted by consensus by all 193 UN Member States on March 21, 2024. The Resolution, titled Seizing the Opportunities of Safe, Secure and Trustworthy AI Systems for Sustainable Development, is the first global UN consensus resolution on AI. It was led by the United States and co-sponsored by 122 Member States. The Resolution: (1) Recognises the potential of AI to accelerate progress on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals; (2) Calls on Member States and other stakeholders to refrain from or cease the use of AI systems that are inconsistent with international human rights law or that pose undue risks to the enjoyment of human rights; (3) Encourages Member States to develop and support regulatory and governance approaches for safe, secure, and trustworthy AI systems; (4) Calls for cooperation on capacity building - including resources, infrastructure, data, training, and education - to bridge digital divides and enable developing countries to benefit from AI; (5) Encourages standards bodies, academia, and civil society to participate in the development of frameworks for trustworthy AI; (6) Requests the Secretary-General to report back on implementation. The Resolution is non-binding but represents the high-water mark of global political consensus on AI and informs subsequent UN initiatives including the Global Digital Compact and the work of the High-Level Advisory Body on AI.",
