UN Chief Calls for AI Oversight, Warns on ‘Vibe-Coding’ Future

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for urgent global rules to govern artificial intelligence, warning that the technology is advancing faster than governments can regulate it. Speaking at the U.N. Global Dialogue on AI, Guterres said artificial intelligence is already reshaping economies, politics and security, and cautioned that unchecked development risks undermining trust, truth and public consent. He urged governments and companies to act together to ensure AI remains safe, fair and accountable. 

. Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary General said  "Artificial intelligence is advancing at runaway speed. A technology that can reshape economies, transform the world of work, sway elections, and tilt the balance of security is being deployed faster than anyone, including the people building it, can keep up. An experiment is being run on our own societies, without a plan and without consent. And that is not sustainable and it is not acceptable."

The U.N. chief said AI must be governed collectively to ensure it serves humanity rather than outpacing it.
