SEOUL, September 25 (AJP) - President Lee Jae Myung presided over an open debate at the UN General Assembly in New York on Wednesday, becoming the first South Korean leader to do so.
The debate, chaired by Lee as the country assumed this month's rotating role as a non-permanent member, focused on how to tackle opportunities and challenges brought about by the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and other cutting-edge technologies.
Participants including representatives from the 15 UN Security Council member states discussed how AI is rapidly transforming global security and called for collaborative responses.
Emphasizing that now is the time to address "new threats and challenges posed by AI," Lee called for multilateral cooperation to ensure international peace and security.
Lee also highlighted South Korea's efforts to promote the proper use of AI, while working with the international community to come up with collaborative measures.
