Russia says AI poses serious risks to global stability
(MENAFN) Russia cautioned on Wednesday that artificial intelligence (AI) presents “serious risks” capable of affecting international stability and widening disparities between nations.
“AI technologies are being applied in the political, social, economic and defense spheres. However, this technology also carries serious risks and is emerging as a new factor that could affect the stability of the entire system of international relations,” stated Dmitry Polyanskiy, Russia’s deputy ambassador to the UN, during an open Security Council discussion on AI and its implications for international peace and security.
He expressed worries about AI’s potential to shape public opinion, influence elections, and interfere with essential infrastructure, observing that “AI-based technologies can influence public opinion and election outcomes through the dissemination of news publications and fake content on social media, and they can also impact the functioning of critical infrastructure in other countries.”
“Let's be honest: No one in the world fully understands all the risks associated with AI, and this fact cannot be ignored,” Polyanskiy added.
Highlighting the economic ramifications of AI, he warned that it could deepen existing global inequalities. “Countries with developed economies will have greater opportunities to leverage their benefits compared to emerging markets and developing nations. This will exacerbate digital inequality and the already significant imbalance in global development, which in turn could lead to social tensions and new conflicts,” he said.
