UN adopt first resolution on AI and environmental sustainability
Observers have deplored the removal of references to specific emissions and water impacts from previous drafts.
The United Nations (UN) adopted the very first draft resolution regarding environmental sustainability for AI systems last week at its Nairobi environment assembly.
The resolution aims to ensure that the deployment of artificial intelligence does not jeopardise global climate and sustainable development goals, and includes three recommendations for UN member states and three new requests for UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) Executive Director Ingrid Andersen.
