U.N. Issues Call For Global Coordination Against Disinformation, Hate Speech, and Unfettered AI

The U.N. Secretary-General announced plans to establish advisory boards on AI and issue principles promoting truth and human rights online.
A U.N. code of conduct seeks commitments from governments, tech companies, and advertisers to counter false and hateful information.
The U.N. warned that AI risks becoming an unchecked "monster" used to spread misinformation and hate without oversight.
Governments face pressure to protect independent media and journalists, while companies need transparency on algorithms and ads.
Though ambitious, U.N. efforts may prove insufficient without major investments in scientific and technical expertise.
