The potential benefits of artificial intelligence are as great as the risks it entails, says Mario Oyarzábal. The challenge of any AI regulation is to put new technologies at the service of international law, he says.
The United Nations provides a universal forum capable of providing legitimacy to more equitable and fair future regulation of AI, OyarZábal says. He adds that international law has the capacity to adapt to the challenges that AI presents, and capitalize on the opportunities that AI offers to develop and enforce international law.
