New York: External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar held several bilateral meetings with his counterparts from different countries on the sidelines of the high-level session of the United Nations General Assembly.

The meetings covered emerging regional and global challenges, mutual cooperation and various international issues.

The discussions focused on changes in the global situation and strengthening cooperation between different countries. The high-level session of the United Nations General Assembly provides a common platform for world leaders and foreign ministers to discuss international issues.

Meanwhile, the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the risks associated with it continue to be debated globally.

Jaishankar said over the weekend that global rules are needed to regulate the development of AI to ensure that final control remains in human hands.

The discussion around AI comes at a time when Anthropic chief Dario Amodei has also stressed the need to slow the pace of AI development. He has said governments and companies need sufficient time to address serious risks associated with the technology.

OpenAI chief Sam Altman and other prominent figures in the AI sector have also expressed concerns about potential risks associated with the technology and the need for responsible development.

Thus, alongside high-level diplomatic meetings during the UN General Assembly, the safe and responsible development of AI remains one of the major subjects of global discussion.
