Artificial intelligence is less regulated than children's toys, developers warn
Artificial intelligence developers warn that the world does not yet grasp the risks of these systems and that children's toys currently face stricter rules than AI. The UN Institute for Disarmament Research points to the growing use of AI in the military sphere.
Developers of artificial intelligence (AI) systems warn that the world has not yet fully recognised the risks these technologies carry. According to them, children's toys are currently regulated more strictly than AI systems themselves, which suggests that the technology is advancing faster than the rules meant to oversee it.
Attention on the military sphere
The UN Institute for Disarmament Research, a research body of the United Nations focused on arms control and security issues, has separately drawn attention to the increasingly broad use of AI in the military field. The institute notes that this trend also affects decision-making chains, meaning how and by whom decisions are made.
The source gives no further details on specific risks, countries or planned regulation.
