AI could pose 'existential' risk to humanity

Geneva: U.N. rights chief Volker Turk warned on Monday that artificial intelligence could pose a threat to humanity, and pledged to press AI firms to reduce risks that his office said included disruptions to services, communications and democratic systems.He called for cast-iron guarantees to secure AI in a speech ahead of the start of his unprecedented second term, in which he also demanded accountability over deaths in U.S. immigration custody and condemned Russia's reported use of autonomous drones.The wide-ranging address was his first to the 47-member council since he won the four-year term in July in the face of opposition from Moscow and Washington.'HORROR' AT AUTONOMOUS DRONESI share the concerns of industry insiders that advanced AI could pose an existential risk to humanity, Turk told the body in Geneva.I am calling here, today, for an all-out effort to put cast-iron guarantees in place around the safety and security of AI, before it is too late.Turk did not elaborate on the nature of the risks but a spokesperson for his office said failures involving powerful AI systems could disrupt critical infrastructure and democratic institutions.She referred to the dangerous agent-training behaviours in July's so-called Hugging Face incident where a swarm of OpenAI agents hacked an open-source platform, saying it suggested that frontier AI capabilities are advancing faster than the safeguards.Turk warned that just a handful of men held almost unlimited power over AI without naming any. Top AI companies include Meta, Anthropic, OpenAI and Google.At a minimum, we need countries hosting AI and those involved in its supply chains to come together around agreed red lines, he said.The council is meeting until October 7 to discuss the Iran war, Sudan's civil conflict and a string of other crises. The Trump administration disengaged from the council last year, accusing it of anti-Israeli bias.Turk called for accountability for around 23 deaths he said had taken place in U.S. immigration custody so far this year and added that he was concerned about plans to equip agents with electric shock gloves.The Department of Homeland Security has previously said it was committed to ensuring a safe, secure and humane environment in detention. Its inspector general is examining deaths in custody since October 2021.The U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.EXPOSING 'SHADOW PLAYERS'Turk condemned Russia for its intensified attacks on Ukraine, and Iran for the rising numbers of executions.He also voiced horror at reports that Russia had used fully autonomous drones in Ukraine, allegedly killing three people in August.I join calls for the urgent prohibition of weapons that can take lives without human involvement, he said, referring to talks in Geneva. Reuters has not independently verified these reports. Russia's diplomatic mission did not immediately respond to a request for comment.With more than 60 wars around the world involving at least one state - the highest since World War Two - Turk set out ideas for ways to promote peace, pledging greater scrutiny of the businesses and economic interests that are fuelling conflicts.We will not shy away from exposing the shadow players and calling for accountability, he said.Later this month, the U.N. human rights office is due to publish a list of businesses operating in Israeli West Bank settlements the global body deems illegal - a charge dismissed by Israel.

PM Modis transformative work behind rapidly moving economy: HM Amit Shah

Digital Desk | Panaji, Sep 7 (IANS) Highlighting the growth rate of 7.8 per cent achieved in the first quarter, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Monday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has worked continuously since 2014 to transform the country into a rapidly moving economy. Chairing the 28th meeting of the Western Zonal Council in Panaji, HM Shah said that the Indian economy recording such a growth rate amid global turbulence is a matter of pride for all of us. The Home Minister said that over the last 12 years, PM Modi has worked to realise the provision of cooperative federalism enshrined in our Constitution. He said that after PM Modi assumed office, there has been a significant increase in the number of meetings of the Zonal Councils. The Home Minister said that during 2004 to 2014, the total number of meetings of the Zonal Councils and their Standing Committees was only 25, whereas since 2014, a total of 71 meetings of the Zonal Councils and their Standing Committees have been held, which is an increase of nearly three times. He said that the nearly three-fold increase in the number of meetings is an excellent example of Prime Minister Modis concept of Team India. A total of 1,893 issues were discussed in these meetings, out of which 1,445 issues have been resolved. Home Minister Shah said that the countrys Western Region is extremely important from several perspectives and that this region is the countrys largest economic, industrial and financial centre. He said that Daman and Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and the three States of the Western Zonal Council have also made a significant contribution towards achieving the growth rate of 7.8 per cent in the first quarter of the financial year. He said that the Western Region is known as the WEST Engine of the countrys economic growth. W stands for wealth and finance, which are generated in this region; E stands for exports and ports; S stands for start-ups and semiconductors; and T stands for tourism and the blue economy, in which the Western Region has the largest share in the country, said HM Shah. He said more than 1 crore tourists visit Goa, of whom 5 lakh are foreign tourists. Tourism contributes 16 per cent of Goas GSDP. Maharashtra ranks first in the country with 33,872 start-ups. Dholera has now become a hub in the semiconductor sector. Gujarats Mundra Port handles the highest volume of cargo, and Deendayal Port (Kutch) is the largest port in terms of cargo volume. Mumbai, the country's financial capital, is also emerging as a major hub for global capital. Other issues discussed at the Western Zonal Council meeting included implementation of Fast Track Special Courts for speedy investigation and early disposal of cases of rape against women and children, and issues related to the Emergency Response Support System (ERSS-112). Home Minister Shah also discussed issues related to food safety standards, Ayushman BharatPradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, provision of brick-and-mortar banking facilities within the prescribed radius of every village, issues related to railway development projects, issues concerning environmental clearances, and others. In addition, issues of national importance were also discussed, including urban master planning, issues related to electricity supply, strengthening Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACSs), eliminating malnutrition among children through the Poshan Abhiyaan, reducing the school dropout rate among school children, participation of public hospitals in the Ayushman BharatPradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, and issues related to cybercrime and digital infrastructure, among others.
